[hobbit] Xymon roadmap

On February 9, Henrik posted the following roadmap to the list. I haven't heard much lately so I don't know if it has changed.

Version 4.4:

• SNMP support for data collection
• Status updates based on data collected in the RRD files (this is really nice - essentially, *any* value you put into an RRD file can trigger a new or modified status in Xymon. So you could eg. change the status of your "http" test to go red, if the response time of a webpage exceeds 5 seconds).
• Status "flap" handling, to catch statuses that change rapidly.

Version 4.5:

• Support for communication between clients and Xymon to use compression and/or encryption.
• Support for client authentication via SSL certificates (so you cannot spoof a client message).

Version 4.6:

• Revised web interface - eliminate the need for webserver-based authentication, and provide more fine-grained authorization for the various Xymon components.
• Per-user custom login pages, so the login will always show those systems that the user has responsibility for / is allowed to access.

Somewhere along the road I will also introduce a new "ping" test daemon - I am getting to the point where ping'ing all hosts take longer than 5 minutes (I have a lot of hosts). So something needs to be done, and I think I know how to do it.

Hi,

Has someone an idea of the possibles releases regarding this mail of henrik for the year coming ?

Kind regards,

Denis
