Resending to "xymon at xymon.com". That "reply" does not respond to the list
is kind of broken.

Thanks,

The "client data" is a copy of the information that the client sends the
Xymon server. Most of it will be displayed in the various client test
display pages for the host, so there is little point in trying to hide it.
Security by obscurity never works. Also, it can be very handy to have this
data available.

Thanks,

Hello,

Using Xymon 4.3.7 I see that most (possibly all) of the services being
monitored for a host contain a link in the web page saying 'Client data
available'.

By clicking on the link I can see that it shows some info about the
host, but my question is why? What is this link for?

As far as I can tell there is no way to disable the link from appearing.
Is that correct? It may be that we would prefer not having the link
present, so preventing users from seeing info about the host itself.


Thanks,

John.
