I have made many Xymon/Hobbit server over the years - all as their own master.

One thing I have not understood is how I can keep one machine as a slave and it should then send the CPU, memory etc data to the other

If I have two machines each with their bb-hosts:

10.0.0.1: 10.0.01 host1 #bbd ssh 10.0.0.2 host2 # ssh

10.0.0.2: 10.0.02 host2 #bbd ssh 10.0.0.1 host1 # ssh

How can I turn 10.0.0.2 into a slave, which sends cpu, disk, files etc to 10.0.0.1?

And 10.0.0.1 should then display for both machines.

I am not sure I understand completely what you are trying to do, but ...

If you want host1 to show the data for itself AND host2, then the simplest way would be to run xymonproxy on host2, and have it proxy to both itself (127.0.0.1) and host1. Run xymonproxy on port 1984 so it catches all status reports - whether local or remote - and xymond (on host2) on another port (e.g. 1985).

If you just want two servers that are identical, then the safest way is to configure your clients to report to both servers. Your network test xymonnet's should only report to their own server - so you run them independently, but doing the same tests. With a bit of scripting you can automatically pull hosts.cfg and analysis.cfg from host1 to host2.

Hope that helps.
