Hey,
I need to set up some clients to use xymonfetch and the man page isn't exactly clear.
--server=XYMON.SERVER.IP Defines the IP address of the Xymon server where the collected client messages are forwarded to. By default, messages are sent to the loopback address 127.0.0.1, i.e. to a Xymon server running on the same host as xymonfetch.
This implies that I need to have a server instance running...or am I misunderstanding what it's saying? Has anyone done this and could provide a some guidance?
thx
Simply, what it means is that if you're running xymonfetch from the Xymon server, itself, then the --server variable could be filled in with the localhost ip.
If, however, you're running xymonfetch from a Xymon client, elsewhere, then you should fill the in --server variable with the actual IP of the actual Xymon server.
