Allmon3 not logging into added nodes

I’m running ASL3 on my system hub Pi server and want to use the Allmon3 dashboard on it to monitor and control the other Pi server/nodes co-located on the same LAN behind my router. I’ve added the node number stanza, the host IP address, user, and password for each node into the hub server’s .ini file but it isn’t logging into any of the servers. I’ve double checked to ensure the entries I’ve made absolutely match the login info found in the manager.conf of each of the nodes I want to monitor. When I view the Allmon3 dashboard the node numbers individually appear in the left column and on the horizontal bars down the page, but of course no relevant info is displayed.

In the process of troubleshooting the situation I thought perhaps it was a firewall related issue so I tried opening port 5038 of one of the servers I want to monitor. When that didn’t work I even tried disabling the firewall which also did not work.

I did try adding the multinodes line option to the hub server’s stanza in the .ini file, and surprisingly it appeared to add the nodes to the dashboard, giving their node number and appropriate identification. However, since there was no actual connection to the servers themselves there was no real info listed for them.

Any suggestions for further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated…

What does journalctl -xu allmon3 report after you restart the allmon3 process?

How about me answering my own problem…

After more experimenting I’ve figured out that in addition to adding the node number stanza, IP address, user, and password information in the allmon3.ini file on the server I’m using to view the Allmon3 dashboard, you must ALSO comment out the bindaddr line in the manager.conf file on the server/node you want to view.

…seems to be working as it should now.

You can set the bindaddr in manager.conf to the IP address of the node.

I will try that too… thanks.

Since I’ve reserved the addresses in the router for all the servers on my LAN I could safely do that.
