It depends on the network tests you want to run. If they are standard
xymonnet checks, such as ssh or dns, then you only need to configure them
on the server in hosts.cfg. Can you tell us what network tests you want
to run ?
I need connections tests to another hosts. If I understood correctly, I need
to install the server in this case. Ok. I attempted to do it now. Secondary
server sending self data (cpu, disk e.t.c.) to main server, but not sending
information about connection. hosts.cfg of secondary server:
0.0.0.0 xymon-client.my.dom # bbd
172.30.1.10 server2.my.dom #
I see only "xymon-server.my.dom" and "xymon-client.my.dom" (with their
tests) on information web page of mail server. Is there a chance to see
"server2.my.dom" on the main server ?
I've never run in localmode, so not sure. But it would seem that
xymond_client binary only exists in the Xymon server package, and not in
the Xymon client package. My Xymon clients (that aren't servers) don't
have xymond_client anywhere. From reading the localclient.cfg file, it
would seem that the "--local" option is only for use on Xymon clients that
are also Xymon servers.
Ok, thanks. I will try to verify with it later.
3. About package.
xymon package contains xymonclient-*.sh for non linux. All this removed
from xymon-client. Are they forgotten in xymon package or they needed ?
Nope, they're not needed. But they're always there.
Thanks again.
It makes it easy to copy the files to another server and run them.
But xymon contains binary files. They should be rebuild for another
system...
