Hi,
I'm trying to add a test to the xymon server. This one has to reside server-side because not it does domain checks and not all domains have an assigned IP. Also, connectivity is not a concern here. What I'm trying to do is add some domain in a subpage and check for changes in their nameserver IPs. I've written a perl script that does the job and it takes the domain name as a parameter. In practice I'm trying to replicate what xymonnet does with the various checks like dns, http, smtp, etc.
I would have something like this hosts.cfg:
page domainchecks <H3>Domain Checks<H3> <some IP> <the domain name> # noconn <my_test_name>
I did scrip this to check all domains at once but, that's not a desired behavior because I need to xymon to treat them separately and tell me for each if something changed or not according to my script.
I setup a test task in tasks.cfg like this:
[Environment] ENVFILE /var/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg NEEDS xymond CMD $XYMONSERVERROOT/server/ext/env.pl LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/ext-env.log INTERVAL 5m
I've set it up for some hosts to no avail:
<some ip> <hostname> # env
It only shows up for the xymon server, which leads me to think this is more cumbersome than I first thought. Has anyone managed to do something like this before?
