Xymon server reporting to itself and another Xymon server
I have this set up...
Server A
cd /export/xymon/server/etc
egrep "XYMS|RIP" xymonserver.cfg
XYMONSERVERIP="10.235.57.11" # The IP-address of your server. Use the real one, not 127.0.0.1 . XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP" # IP of a single Xymon server XYMSERVERS="" # IP of multiple Xymon servers. If used, XYMSRV must be 0.0.0.0 MACHINEADDR="$XYMONSERVERIP" # This systems IP-address BBSERVERIP="$XYMONSERVERIP" BBDISP="$XYMSRV" BBDISPLAYS="$XYMSERVERS"
Server B
cd /export/xymon/server/etc
egrep "XYMS|RIP" xymonserver.cfg
XYMONSERVERIP="10.235.157.56" # The IP-address of your server. Use the real one, not 127.0.0.1 . XYMSRV="$XYMONSERVERIP" # IP of a single Xymon server XYMSERVERS="" # IP of multiple Xymon servers. If used, XYMSRV must be 0.0.0.0 MACHINEADDR="$XYMONSERVERIP" # This systems IP-address BBSERVERIP="$XYMONSERVERIP" BBDISP="$XYMSRV" BBDISPLAYS="$XYMSERVERS"
When I use the CGI to Enable / Disable alerts... I am only enabling / disabling on the server I'm viewing. I'm using http://<server IP>/hobbit-seccgi/enadis.sh
How do I make my single enable / disable action propagate to both servers?
Is it as simple as changing XYMSRV="0.0.0.0" XYMSERVERS="10.235.57.11 10.235.157.56" on both servers and restarting xymon on both servers?

No, you probably don't want to do that. My experience trying to do this was that each forwarded alerts to the other and back again, so each server received double status messages for at least some tests.
I solved the problem this way:

Use the xymond_distribute module on your main server - using it on both is not recommmended, since you will probably end up with a forwarding loop.

I was using something similar to what Eric was using. Nice to know this exists, trying it now, enabled in tasks.cfg. Perhaps xymond distribute was added in 4.3.10 or an earlier version and I was not paying attention. Nice! Thanks Henrik.
