Can I have noconn but have a server side script that probes some other way?
...and preferably, reports its result in such a way as to end up in the conn column? If so, would I call the column in the script "conn", or something else?
Specifically, something like an Amazon Echo Dot, that's not pingable (but does respond to e.g. arping).
Right now, they're not on my miscellaneous devices page because they block pretty much all ports and don't respond to pings. Still, it does appear possible to detect if they're up, and if only for completeness, I'd like to...
Should be doable. I have servers that can be pinged by my proxy server but not my main server. So I have noconn in the primary's hosts.cfg, but not in the proxy's.
So put noconn in. Then write you script to do your arping and report it to the server with "Xymon <ip> "status conn ..."

Hello,
Yes, it is possible. We had servers (clients) in the cloud that could not be pinged by our on-site Xymon server. However, we could use the SSH test to the servers. So that at least indicated if the servers had some service present, and were responding. (In fact we ran the Xymon client on the servers and used an SSH tunnel to get the results. It worked well. All the usual tests were reported back except ping.)
John.
