by linuxmasterjedi＠free.fr 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hi, Most of my colleagues wants to leave XYmon to a crappy monitoring tool such as WhatsUp Gold or Centreon :-( I have to monitor now a bunch of VMware ESXi servers or EMC Data Domain appliances via SNMP or so. Are you doing this ? With Devmon ? Any advices/best pratices ? Thanks ! -- LMJ "May the source be with you my young padawan"

Hi, Is there a way from the server, to find out what version the client is running? I looked in the xymon command man page, but didn't find anything. Paul.

tcp traceroute
by troy＠athabascau.ca 30 May '13

30 May '13

In the same way that the conn test can be asked to "trace" by performing a traceroute upon failure, I would like to perform a TCP traceroute when a TCP test fails with "no route to host". I expect this isn't built right into Xymon now but has anybody got any pointers on what to hack to implement this myself? cheers, Troy -- This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.
