It depends on the network tests you want to run. If they are standard xymonnet checks, such as ssh or dns, then you only need to configure them on the server in hosts.cfg. Can you tell us what network tests you want to run ?
I need connections tests to another hosts. If I understood correctly, I need to install the server in this case. Ok. I attempted to do it now. Secondary server sending self data (cpu, disk e.t.c.) to main server, but not sending information about connection. hosts.cfg of secondary server:
0.0.0.0 xymon-client.my.dom # bbd 172.30.1.10 server2.my.dom #
I see only "xymon-server.my.dom" and "xymon-client.my.dom" (with their tests) on information web page of mail server. Is there a chance to see "server2.my.dom" on the main server ?
I've never run in localmode, so not sure. But it would seem that xymond_client binary only exists in the Xymon server package, and not in the Xymon client package. My Xymon clients (that aren't servers) don't have xymond_client anywhere. From reading the localclient.cfg file, it would seem that the "--local" option is only for use on Xymon clients that are also Xymon servers.
Ok, thanks. I will try to verify with it later.
- About package. xymon package contains xymonclient-*.sh for non linux. All this removed from xymon-client. Are they forgotten in xymon package or they needed ?
Nope, they're not needed. But they're always there.
Thanks again.
It makes it easy to copy the files to another server and run them.
But xymon contains binary files. They should be rebuild for another system...
