xymond_locator program -
I've read through the code and it makes sense but is there (going to be?) a man page or further explanation ?
Tell you what ... I would have to go read the code myself to document it :-)
It was written quite some time ago because I was having severe performance issues with RRD file updates - the disks just couldn't keep up with the load. So xymond_channel got an addition that let it send updates to a worker module on another server, and to find out where stuff was I re-invented DNS in xymond_locator.
Well, kind of at least ...
It isn't my favourite piece of code, because it adds a fair bit of complexity to the channel/worker communications.
ps -- use "restofmsg" NOT metadata[15] -- because Henrik might just toss 4 more new metadata things in there and throw your whole code off :-D
Indeed!
pppps (last one) - new-daemon.txt is the only place where the channels were formally explained, and that file is woefully out of date - I would suggest either dropping the file or updating it with the extra fields in it
Hmmm ... yes, I should document this properly. man-page, I guess.
