./configure-server --prefix=/opt/cmtools/xymon

Can see conn, http, info, ssh, trends but nothing else.

1) Verify client can communicate with server:

2) Verify your XYMSRV has the correct Xymon server IP address

[root@cmlin02 logs]# more ../etc/xymonclient.cfg
# Environment settings for the Xymon client.

XYMSRV="192.168.0.32"          # IP address of the Xymon server

...

3) Verify your host name matches between client & server.

[root@cmlin02 logs]# more ../etc/hosts.cfg
...
192.168.0.25   cmlin02.freerange360.lan   # ssh http://nexus.freerange360.lan:8081/nexus/index.html#view-repositories http://cmdb.freerange360.lan/ios/
...

[root@cmlin02 client]# hostname -f
cmlin02.freerange360.lan

[root@cmlin02 client]# uname -n
cmlin02.freerange360.lan

4) Check client for data files
