My question is.. What should the host name be, and where to configure it??
Should I send the host name from the client?
Or should the host exists under that name in the hosts.cfg?
It goes into hosts.cfg. You just make up any old hostname you like. I
have a separate page (group) for combo display like so:
title Cluster of servers number 1
group Cluster1
0.0.0.0 this-cluster # noconn NAME:"This cluster" COMMENT:"Server 1 and
server 2"
0.0.0.0 that-cluster # noconn NAME:"That cluster" COMMENT:"Server 3 and
server 4"
group Cluster2
0.0.0.0 nother-cluster # ...
0.0.0.0 yetnothercluster # ...
I'm naming the clusters as "???-cluster". Then in combo.cfg, I define each
cluster name and the test being reported:
this-cluster.dns (server1.example.com.dns || server2.example.com.dns)
that-cluster.http (server3.example.com.http || server4.example.com.http)
...
The "dns" and "http" tests must be generated somehow. In my case, by
standard xymonnet tests listed against the servers in hosts.cfg, like:
10.1.2.3 server1.example.com # ping dns ntp
10.1.2.3 server2.example.com # ping dns ntp
But you can generate the test messages any way you like, such as
"KoppelingenGRNA" in your case.
