Searched the archives and found a few IPv6 inquiries, but only that there are no plans to support it. While I'm not a programmer, I suspect it would actually be fairly simple to implement (please correct me if I'm wrong).
It's not entirely trivial, but it can be done (of course). The actual changes needed to "talk" IPv6 in the network service tests is probably not a whole lot; may real concern is going through all of the places throughout Xymon where the code assumes that an IP- address looks like "1.2.3.4".
This is starting to become a priority for me. I need to monitor my ssh servers, but they all only respond now to ipv6, so I can't :-(.
It is moving up on my priority list as well - it seems that IPv6 is (finally) seeing some real adoption. It won't be in the next version, but probably the one after that.

Thanx, Henrik, as long as it's on the map, I'll wait.

We are also getting queried from IPv6 ready team about hobbit's compliance with IPv6.
Would be nice to have this available as patch with 4.2.x instead of waiting for 4.3.x.
Thanks

Hi,
sorry to catch up this old thread, but while doing an IPv6 check on our infrastructure, I noticed that Hobbit doesn't seem to support any IPv6 yet.

Yeah, here, too.

Glad to hear that.

Sounds good.
It's not yet known when exactly it will become available natively here, but it seems coming in big steps towards us, so we're preparing for the impact now.
