On the topic of a roadmap. What is on the roadmap. Just wondering if a URL is available to see what is planned for upcoming releases.
Thanks

On February 9, Henrik posted the following roadmap to the list. I haven't heard much lately so I don't know if it has changed.
Version 4.4:
- SNMP support for data collection
- Status updates based on data collected in the RRD files (this is really nice - essentially, *any* value you put into an RRD file can trigger a new or modified status in Xymon. So you could eg. change the status of your "http" test to go red, if the response time of a webpage exceeds 5 seconds).
- Status "flap" handling, to catch statuses that change rapidly.
Version 4.5:
- Support for communication between clients and Xymon to use compression and/or encryption.
- Support for client authentication via SSL certificates (so you cannot spoof a client message).
Version 4.6:
- Revised web interface - eliminate the need for webserver-based authentication, and provide more fine-grained authorization for the various Xymon components.
- Per-user custom login pages, so the login will always show those systems that the user has responsibility for / is allowed to access.
Somewhere along the road I will also introduce a new "ping" test daemon - I am getting to the point where ping'ing all hosts take longer than 5 minutes (I have a lot of hosts). So something needs to be done, and I think I know how to do it.

The short answer is "We get it when it's ready, and not before".
