Xymon users & admins,
I write to you in seek of help for a problem that may be simple for
some but I am having trouble tackling. I will try my best explain:
I wish to monitor a scientific computing cluster, these are the details:
There is a head node and 9 slave blade servers - 10 nodes total.
The slave servers are all connected to a private network, therefore
The head node has 2 active network devices - 1 for the private
network, and 1 for the outer network to allow remote access to the
cluster. This is the ONLY entry/outgoing point
If the slave nodes need to go out to the internet for updates, ect..
they connect through a proxy on the head node.
My xymon server is located off-site but firewall settings allow
communication between the head node of the cluster and my xymon
server. I am currently just probing network tests on the head node, I
did NOT install a xymon client or server yet on any node of the cluster.
How can I get a report pushed / pulled to my xymon server so that I
can monitor and test all aspects of EVERY NODE? I want to be able to
receive hardware and custom tests as well. Do I need to setup some
sort of relay xymon server on the head node, or can I just configure
the xymon slave clients to use tinyproxy which is already set up on
the head node?
Yes, install xymon onto the head node, make sure the xymon server is
disabled, but xymonproxy is enabled, and xymon client is enabled.
Then install xymon client on the remaining 9 nodes, and set the "xymon
server" as the head node internal/private IP.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Adam
