Can anyone advise on the method to have the Debian xymon-client send its
data to the Server using SSL instead of port 1984?
Thanks so much
Hello
Since the xymon-client is not TLS aware, the only solution is to use a stunnel.
On the remote box, you run the stunnel client listenning on localhost:1984 (and point client to it).
On the xymon server, you ran the stunnel server and configure the output to localhost:1984.
It is the only solution I know wihout modification of xymon.
The other way is to made the xymon client TLS aware like I did on xython https://github.com/xython-monitoring/xython/blob/master/client/xython-client.sh
By either having a proxy TLS daemon (and client send data though openssl s_client).
Or the best way is to having a HTTPS proxy CGI and pipe xymon-client though curl (https://github.com/xython-monitoring/xython/blob/master/cgi/proxy.py)
