You could write a simple "I'm Alive" client side script and schedule
client launch to run the script every minute with a 2 minute lifetime.
The only thing the sends a green status. If xymon doesn't get a green
status for 2 mintues, it will display purple.
ie.
xymon 1.2.3.4 "status+2m hostname.alive green I'm Alive"

Hi there,
Quite a few of the clients I've setup to be monitored, are behind a firewall which does not allow a response to ping. As such, I can not use the conn test, a function which I do believe is rather important.
As an alternative, I would like to have a (possibly periodic) check, to see whether any data is incoming from these clients, as an alternative to the connection test.. afterall, incoming data = working connection, at least between the client at the Xymon server.
Might any one have any recommendations or perhaps a sample on how to accomplish such a feat?
