I tried that and started getting a lot of refused messages referencing the monitored systems. I forgot to mention that this is release 4.2.3. If it is different in 4.3.x then I will have to wait a couple of months.
In --status-senders, you should list
- the Xymon server itself
- any hosts running network tests
The reason for 1) is somewhat obscure, but basically boils down to the Xymon client data triggering status-messages sent locally from the xymond_client daemon.
This behaviour is unchanged from 4.2.x to 4.3.x.
In 5.0, you can implement SSL client certificate checks for complete control of who is allowed to send status updates.

Thanks Henrik... But, but (he sputters) that causes the server to refuse messages from the clients. Did I do it wrong?
I used --status-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP,xxx.xx.xxx.xxx
where the x's is another Xymon server IP that does network tests.
Thanks, Steve
