I wrote a small scripts which reports data from every node. Everything works perfectly well.

But I'd like to know where in the xymon server this data are stored.

Does someone knows where they are ?

How do you report it - with a "status" or a "data" message ?

Xymon doesn't store this data on disk, usually, because it is transient (wait 5 minutes, and there's a new update). So it's only stored in RAM on the Xymon server.

You can enable the hobbitd_filestore module to save the data to disk automatically, but I recommend against it because it increases the load on your Xymon server significantly (much more disk I/O).

You can also setup a module on the Xymon server to process this data, which reads the data from a "hobbitd_channel" process. That is the only way to capture stuff sent with a "data" message. If you send it in a "status" message it will show up on the webpage, and you can also use the "bb" command to fetch the data from the Xymon server. E.g. to get the data from the "mytest" status on server "myserver":

bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdlog myserver.mytest"
