The "client side" version behaves like legacy Big Brother in that
settings for monitoring the client are made on each individual
client, as opposed to the config files residing on the server. The
client-side config version/build I've been told before is not well
maintained (as in may have been broken by recent code changes). The
reason for this is that for virtually all use cases, the server-side
config client build is superior (who wants to log into 50+ clients to
change their configs vs logging into one server to do the same)?
In our use-case, we specifically do not support server-side
configurations. The Xymon server is run by a central group which does
not know the business rules for the client systems. The owner of the
client decides what logs to scrape, and what memory/disk thresholds
concern them.
