Master slave config question
Hi,
I have xymon 4.3.7 running in a master slave configuration with the distribute module enabled. Enable/disable messages are being sent to the slave as expected.
Is there a way to have acknowledgments also sent to the slave?

I wanted it to, but it doesn't do that currently.
The reason is that in order to send an "ack" message you need to pin-code. These pin-code are generated indeendently by each Xymon server, so a xymond_distribute module on server A doesn't know what the pin-code is for an alert on server B. (It could fetch the Xymon board to find out). So xymond_distribute cannot generate an ack that will be accepted by the peer server.
Poor excuse, I know, and it should be fixed. But now you know why it doesn't do that.
Regards, Henrik

Thanks for the response. At least I know to not waste any more time trying to figure out how to make it work. :-)
