Hello,
I have Xymon 4.3.7 installed in '/home/xymon'. I notice that at the top level there is a directory called 'data' (along with 'acks', 'disabled', 'hist', 'histlogs' etc).
Actually this is within 'data', so we have '/home/xymon/data/data', '/home/xymon/data/acks' etc.
Can someone tell me what the 'data' directory is used for please? It is empty.
Checking a bit further it seems that this is used by xymon_channel and xymon_filestore.
What I am trying to see is if it is possible for a client to send some information to the server, but have the server simply store the information in a file (ideally one per host per test, similar to found in the 'data/hist' directory). The information will be similar to a status, but will include items which I will have processed later on the server.
I saw mention of 'usermsg' in the xymon(1) man page. Not sure if that could be used... more checking required I think.
John.
