[xymon] TS: Xymon and another BB server

I have several networks separated by various firewalls and a WAN. Each network (remote site) runs BB BTF (on windows) and each display locally and relay to my central XyMon server. In my case the only setup of the remote sites was to add "BBRELAY:XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS" to the relevant line in the bbhosts file. In my case the whole line looks like:

0.0.0.0 LOCAL_SERVER_NAME # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET BBRELAY:XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS

Replace LOCAL_SERVER_NAME and XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS with your relevant values ;-).

Hope this helps

Regards

Graeme

Design question:

Currently we have 2 separate networks.

We are running BB on both of the networks.  The display is on the

local network.

The separated network can send info to the local network so that the

local BB server can display all of the information for us and alert us.

There are about 40 servers we need the info from on the separated

network.

Is there a way to accept the data from the separated BB server into

the local Xymon server?

We will be replacing the BB server with the Xymon server on the

local network.

We do not want to punch a hole for each server if we don't have to

for security reasons.

Additional question:

Can an Xymon server on the separated network report all of its info

to the local Xymon server for display?

Do you need an additional Xymon server on the separated network to

just gather the info and forward it to the local Xymon server?

All ideas are appreciated! J

Thanks,

Tom Schmitt
