Would it be practical to implement network encryption for IPv4, then circle back for IPv6 later? I don't really know what's involved in that, but I have several thousand clients using my own curl script to report, because I'm required to use encrypted connections.
I tried compiling on RHEL10 last week. There's a problem there to address
- pcre has been deprecated and replaced with pcre2. The old pcre is still present up to RHEL9, but it's missing in 10. I;ll take a look and see what I can do with it, but I'm not a hot-shot programmer so it might take a while.

Hi,
I also want to help. I'm not a C programmer, but I can help with documentation and testing.
I also have some small patches and enhancements that I want to contribute.
Like wget and curl drop-in replacement scripts for the xymon binary for encrypted https communication between client and server.
I also have a patch to allow for a filter in the graphs so you can easy filter the data you want to display. And a patch for a list of rrd files so you can create graphs with exactly the data you want. We are using this to display disks graphs with all the disks for an AIX volume group. The URL is generated with an external scripts to include the needed disks.
Stef, I think you posted about these on the mailing list a long time ago and I found them when I was going through mailing list history since the last release. Very very interested in these additions too. The trick to submit the client data over HTTPS was very clever -- I was about to build that myself.
