Thank you for Xymon software and to the Xymon community.
I wanted to send a quick note saying that a month doesn't go by, sometimes not even a week, I think to my self or slip and say "but Xymon does that" when asking why some other monitoring solution doesn't catch something that seems trivial.
The list of things that Xymon detects that other solutions have failed to detect:
- incorrect time - CPU test
- lack of reports a la. PURPLE
- TLS certificate expiration - sslcert
- HTTP reply status codes - http
I'm sure there are many other things that have made me mumble to myself.
Yes, I know that other things can be configured to monitor some or all of these things, but that requires additional effort. Conversely Xymon just does it with no more effort than configuring it to look at a port.
But the incorrect time has been a BIG problem for many of of the other monitoring solutions that my employer uses.
Xymon has made it extremely easy to monitor these things and has proven to be EXTREMELY useful.
Thank you.
