Hi,
I have some servers that are monitored in xymon and work fine.
Some of this server have do be shutdown and i remove then from the hosts.cfg.
I need to see this old server on the Xymon page to see some historical information.
if i add this server again on hosts.cfg, the server does not show up on the page. I think that the server will only show if it sends some data
There is a way that i can see the historical of this server from the xymon page?
I still have the histdata and histlog folders for this server
If the server is in hosts.cfg somewhere, then the "direct" history links, such as http://monitor.example.net/xymon-cgi/history.sh?HISTFILE=olde.server.name.cp... , should still work -- since they're just reading from the flat files in the hostdata, hist, and histlog directories -- regardless of the lack of new data coming in.
The easiest way to get the host to be displayed in this case is to send a fake, absurdly long TTL status message in for each previous status you want easy access to, and from there drill down to the history link.
I agree, xymon does need a more discrete browsing interface for events generally (as well as for client hostdata snapshots) outside of the live status view.
