Hi,
I've got a few clients in a separate subnet which I want to check via two xymon servers (= proxies with multiple network interfaces) which then send the results to a central xymon server.
Client: X
Proxy 1: A
Proxy 2: B
Xymon Server: C
So A and B have their own network checks defined in tasks.cfg [1] for multiple networks, in this case "mgmt". Both A and B report their result for X to Server C, which works fine, as long as A and B are responsive.
If either A or B fail to successfully connect to X, connection checks on C turn red and fail. According to an old mailing list entry [2] all the checks' results should be merged at the server, or did I misunderstand?
I thought as long as A or B can connect fine to X, everything in xymon should be fine, because after all, target X is up. Is there any other way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Christoph Zechner
