Is this thing on?

I too have worked with Hobbit/BigBrother/Xymon for decades. We too have
been looking at Xymon alternatives.  We were looking at Zabbix but with
Solarwinds embedded everywhere, we will probably go with it fully to
replace Xymon.

I've been using Xymon at several different employers since it was
BigBrother owned by a couple of guys in Canada.  My current Senior VP wants
Xymon to go away.  He hasn't actually told me that directly, but I've heard
it via another channel.  We have SolarWinds on some machines, but I've
never even seen the GUI for that.  We're also distributing Oracle
Enterprise Manager (OEM) to a bunch of machines.  I don't know for sure,
but I suspect a contracting company is whispering in my SVP's ear to sell
support for OEM.  In the meantime, my Xymon server has 878 days uptime and
they're still trying to figure out how to install and configure the OEM
agents.  It's going to be tons of fun watching them try to replace all the
little scripts I've written with OEM equivalents.

@Cristoph - I don't know if I can use stunnel.  It's a military-related
company and there are all kinds of restrictions that sometimes even make
sense.

No new release since 2019, no activity on the mailing list, I think it?s
safe to say it?s flatlined.  Sad to see it fade, I?ve been using it for a
decade or more.

Is Xymon dying? No new release since 2019, There was a roadmap in 2015
that mention Versions 4.4 up to 5 but nothing seems to have moved on that.


It feels like Xymon has become a static project that?s going to fade
away. That would be a shame as I for one think it?s a great tool.
