Resending to "xymon at xymon.com". That "reply" does not respond to the list is kind of broken.

Thanks, Larry Barber

The "client data" is a copy of the information that the client sends the Xymon server. Most of it will be displayed in the various client test display pages for the host, so there is little point in trying to hide it. Security by obscurity never works. Also, it can be very handy to have this data available.

Thanks, Larry Barber

Hello,

Using Xymon 4.3.7 I see that most (possibly all) of the services being monitored for a host contain a link in the web page saying 'Client data available'.

By clicking on the link I can see that it shows some info about the host, but my question is why? What is this link for?

As far as I can tell there is no way to disable the link from appearing. Is that correct? It may be that we would prefer not having the link present, so preventing users from seeing info about the host itself.

Thanks,

John.
