Hi,

Would someone help me understand the Xymon client / server / proxy hierarchy a little bit better?

My scenario is I have two locations separated by a firewall wherein clients inside can send things out to the larger network, but the xymonnet can't reach in to probe clients in the private LAN.

I had thought that an Xymon proxy might be the answer for this. -- I did get internal clients to relay updates out through the xymonproxy to the Xymon (display) server. However xymonnet seems to not utilize the xymonproxy to initiate tests therefrom.

What is the recommended way to have Xymon monitor internal clients that can't be directly reached from the Xymon (display) server?

Aside: It seems as if the xymonproxy might be for the other way around, to have clients in the wild get messages into a protected Xymon server which can reach out and touch the clients.

Thank you and have a good day.
