Greetings,
Please what kind of code or internal scripts Xymon runs to invoke an SSH connection to the client and what runs the Xymon client scripts.
In order words, please could you enlighten me with the actual commands or codes or scripts that Xymon uses for the SSH connection and any Xymon codes running on each Client.
In the standard installation method, the server doesn't use ssh to connect to the client and collect information. The only connections the server initiates are the "network" tests, eg, ping, smtp, http, etc... The client runs it's own client installation package, which will collect all the local information (disk space, processes running, network ports, etc) and then send those to the server using the Xymon protocol (extended from the original Big Brother protocol, but still backwards compatible).
There are numerous options available for altering that method, including having the server use ssh to connect to the client and collect the data at regular intervals.
Also, all source code is available, so feel free to peruse that for the ultimate finer details.
