Xymonlaunch died - no alert
Hello,
I'm running Xymon 4.3.7 on a test server, and found this morning that the 'xymonlaunch' process had died. The server is a bit flaky, so I very much suspect that this is due to a server memory fault and not the code :-) The xymonlaunch log file shows it starting up a few days ago, then nothing.
What is a concern is that Xymon itself gave no indication that xymonlaunch had died. The 'non-green' page shows one local test ('msgs') as red due to some other event, but 'xymond', 'xymongen' and 'xymonnet' show green. However, if I click on the xymongen or xymonnet page then it shows a purple background.
Is xymonlaunch not itself monitored as a process by Xymon?
John.

Put it in your analysis.cfg file as a proc to monitor.
