Hi,
Very new to Xymon here, so I apologize if this is a newb question.
We have a test script that runs as cron and inspects the state of the system (returns 0 for success, returns non 0 for failure). We would like to report the result of that test through Xymon.
Any help as to how to do this would be appreciated.
Hello,
The basic principle is to create a script like seen at: http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#scripts
However, since you're running this via cron and outside of the xymonlaunch environment, you'll want to prepend your command with xymoncmd to allow the default environment variables to "just work":
5 * * * * /path/to/xymoncmd --env=/etc/xymon-client/xymonclient.cfg /path/to/yourscript/here
(Note that depending on your install "xymonclient.cfg" might be in a different location as well.)
HTH,
