I want the ping test to originate from the PI and exit out the back up
internet connection. If the test runs off the main server, it will go out
the primary/active internet connection.
Last I checked, xymon clients can't originate a ping test by themselves.

*Subject:* [Xymon] Simple Ping Test from a node/server
Hey all,
I want to monitor my backup internet connection (simple ping test
outbound is fine). I'm going to throw a raspberry pi with dual interfaces
on the network, one on the main network and one on the backup internet
connection.
What's the best way to implement a ping test from the PI and have it be
part of the main server display?
Solutions I've considered so far:
- set up the PI as a xymon server and figure out how to get the test
results to go back to the main server.
- setup the PI as a xymon client and write some sort of ping test that
does the work
- something else I missed?
Thanks!
