Hi all,
I am unable to find any documentation on the configuration of the hosts files when using xymonproxy, can you help?
I have a number of clients client that have the Xymon proxy server configured as their Xymon server in the xymonclient.cfg file: XYMSRV="10.5.1.205"
So they will send their status messages to the proxy server.
The proxy server only has the [xymond], [xymondproxy], [xymonclient] and [combostatus] sections configured (do I need xymonnet and xymonnetagain?), this seems sensible to me.
The proxy server also has the clients configured in its hosts.cfg file since it needs to know who to poll for.
The question is, how do I then configure these clients in the main Xymon server? Do I have them in the hosts.cfg file there as well? If so how do I stop the main Xymon server from pinging them? Also, given that these clients are in a group, how do I get them displayed as a group in the Xymon web pages?
I have gone through the xymonproxy and hosts.cfg man pages but to no avail, so am turning to you all.
