Fri Jan 11 18:34:15 CET 2019

Hello Kris,

Thanks for helping me out. I am now able to see the status , but can you please help me out with the uptime , Its not working , I just want to know , other than modifiying tasks.cfg and protocols.cfg ,Is there anything that needs to be done.

I made changes in protocols.cfg in xymon server.

[uptime]
            options banner

The output it gives is uptime not OK

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Kris,

Earlier the hosts.cfg hostnames were pointing to  DNS which includes FQDN , so now I have modified it to exactly match the hostname but still I don't see it.

In the clients side ,I am not able to see a file called Xymonclient under /etc/default..

If you need anything else , please let me know.

Thanks and Regards,

Is the hostname you have defined in the server's hosts.cfg file the exact same as what you get when you run 'hostname' on the client?  Also, the /etc/default/xymonclient file on the client shows you what hostname the client is sending the server.

Hello Kris,

Apologies as I cannot give the name of the clients .

What OS are the clients? - Redhat Linux 7.4 (RHEL 7.4)

Did you install and configure the Xymon client software on each client and point it at your server? I have installed Xymon clients on all 5 servers , xymonclient.cfg file points to the server.
Does your server have port 1984 open in it's firewall to accept input?  Yes  1984 port is listening in the Xymon server

Do you have other firewalls blocking incoming data? 1984 is open in Xymon seerver , I mean do we need both clients and server have 1984 port open.

What are the hostnames you have configured for each client.  Hostnames much match in the xymon server's hosts.cfg file or incoming client data doesn't show up on the server webpage.- Xymon clients are correctly configured . there are no issues with the clients, the fqdn is also the same

You're actually not supplying enough info in your question.

What OS are the clients?

Hi,

I would like to know the solution for the below issues

1.    I am actually having trouble loading CPU ,Memory and Disk in Xymon clients , but in the Xymon server it is working fine. Can you please explain how the data is populated for clients in these columns.

2.    The uptime status is listed as a separate column after modifying the tasks.cfg file  and modified the protocols.cfg file for uptime as "options banner"  and I m not getting the  correct output. May I know what needs to be done here.

3.     I would like to know if there is any way that I can remove existing parameters ,I can do the removal for additional parameters by removing in the hosts.cfg file but it does not get removed , so I had to use "drop hostname parameter" . But for the existing ones I am not able to remove it even using that.
