There's also xymonproxy (receive and relay), xymonfetch (retrieve from clients), and msgcache (store local messages on clients until picked up), which can all also run on arbitrary ports, but -again- you're still just speaking BB there.
Do either xymonproxy or msgscache ever save their cache to the local filesystem? The man pages don't mention anything about this.
If not, then that means there's a possibility of losing messages that have left the xymon client but not yet arrived at the server, if the xymonproxy/msgcache process is restarted. I'm looking at the possibility of implementing a xymonproxy or msgcache deployment, and it would be good to know the level of robustness for these two solutions. (Sorry, not meaning to hijack the thread.)
If so, then could the directory containing this/these status message(s) be replicated across a firewall that permits copying files? While not particularly pretty, it just might work for Trevor.
