Since it is a patch for xymond_alert, you only need to update the Xymon server.

Older clients will work fine with the new server software (not necessarily the other way around).

I have a old version of Xymon (4.3.11) running with more then 300 clients. I have some customizations on my Xymon, and i dont want to update all Xymon sources There is a patch only for the problem below?

Xymond_alert should now provide more stable behavior when hosts are dropped or alerts go stale between launches.

Thanks

You only need to replace the xymond binary. When this is compiled, it includes code from the xymond_alert.c file. The patch was for the xymond_alert.c file.

You could either compile the 4.3.28 source code and copy the xymond binary into place, or you could replace xymond_alert.c in your 4.3.11 code tree and recompile it (and then copy the xymond binary into place).

xymond_alert *should* be okay in this regards, but it's always preferable to update the entire server at once when possible.

In particular: xymonnet, xymond_client and xymond_rrd should *not* be updated to current releases in this way for a 4.3.11 install as the default format of the "combo" messages generated by the internal tools changed in 4.3.13 in a way that's not backwards compatible for the older xymond. (The packed "extcombo" format is used instead, which is much more efficient to parse.)
