On the subject of a roadmap/plan
Was there ever a plan to merge/integrate the source for Xymon and Devmon, or did I dream it?
They don't need to be intergrated.
However, in a number of environments I can't install Xymon agents on OSs, and I am using devmon in place of the xymon/hobbit client.
However, there are many missing pieces in Xymon to make this convenient. For example, for Devmon-monitored hosts, thresholds are currently encoded in the DEVMON tag in bb-hosts, because there is no API to get thresholds out of Xymon, and I would prefer not to duplicate config parsing in devmon.
If there was ever such a plan, is it still on the cards? If I did dream it, is it a possibility?
What were you dreaming, besides what I have described above?
There are many other possibilities, but again, they require changes in Xymon first, which I have not discussed until now, as there was no collaborative feature plan for Xymon, and I did not want to overload Henrik just yet.
