I agree that the days of hand coding without AI assistance is quickly
fading into the past.
Due to this and the years-long waiting for Xymon to get upgraded, I have
used AI to build my own modern monitoring server from scratch (including
agents), and fully abandoned Xymon.
Please remove me from the Xymon mailing list, and also I can be removed
from the Github contributor list.
Thank You,
