[Newbie] Smaller, lighter Xymon based program?
I am very new to linux and xymon is my first project, can anyone help me add a test to test the clusters we are monitoring? I am very new, I have only really touched the hosts.cfg and the analysis.cfg to add the infrastructure and a few services to be monitored on the servers we have set up. I have installed roughly 600 xymon clients manually, we have no method that we are allowed to use to push them. Now I just need to customize the monitoring more for our environment. I also need to figure out how to make a test that will monitor the Microsoft Message Queuing, I have no clue on how I will do that. Can anyone help me out, I need some specific instructions to work with, I am doing my best to set this up with very little knowledge on linux. Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the lists Matthew.
If you can tell us what Operating systems you are running the clients on and what kind of clusters you are monitoring we'll hopefully be able to help.
Regards,
Neil.

For the MMQ monitoring, I'd start by looking at the BB extension
archive. http://communities.quest.com/community/big-brother I didn't
take the time to look, but there may be extensions that you can download
that will monitor MMQ. If not, you will need to write a custom script.
Details on this are in the Xymon help section under "Tips and Tricks"
"How can I create a custom test script". From a high level, you will
need to write a script that utilizes tools through MMQ to collect the
data you are looking to monitor. Then add the details to execute, log,
etc... to clientlaunch.cfg.
In response to your 600 installed clients. Xymon has its own utility that makes it fairly simple to make changes to one client and automatically push the changes out to all (or any) client. The utility is called "clientupdate". Details about this utility can be found in the xymon man-pages.
