for *nixoide systems you can get the info from the clientlog and generate a status from that
xymon localhost "clientlog youhost.example.com section=who"

Or using xymonq :
xymonq -H yourhost.example.com -q clientlog -s who

and grep your way through that output.

The elegant implementation would be a channel listener. xymond_channel(8) should give some hint on that.

I would possibly like to alert if root (linux) or administrator (windows) is logged into a server.


I have never seen this done before nor do I find anything in the docs for analysis.cfg.  With today’s heightened security awareness this may be something others would be interested in also.


Thanks,

John
