So what is in your /var/lib/systemimager/clients.xml file?

Actually it's all coming back to me. I've done exactly what you
described and am getting no output from monitortk. It was at this point
last week that I ran my own monitor and verified data was getting to
this system. I had also earlier verified data was getting into
/var/log/systemimager/si_monitor.log so clearly the problem is how
monitortk is [not] picking up the data to display.
