All those tests can be easily implemented, I believe. You can implement a
telnet check simply by placing a 'telnet' tag in the machines entry in
your hosts.cfg file. Putty can implement several protocols, you probably
are using ssh to communicate with your *nix machine, placing an 'ssh' tag
in the hosts.cfg entry will create an ssh test for the host. Similarly for
Windows use 'rdp' (for Remote Desktop Protocol).

Hi there,
i have implemented a fresh install of Xymon 4.3.7 for our environment.
This includes at this time nearly 300 devices in total.
We had used a commercial tool before, and we are in the need to go away
from that commercial tool to Xymon. Knowing some of the features we had in
the commercial tool, i'm missing these features in Xymon.
For each device i'ld like to have a column that provides me with a
"PuTTY", "TELNET" or "MSTSC" feature. For example, if it is a Linux server,
i'ld like to have a "PUTTY" icon. For a windows machine, i want a "MSTSC"
icon. "TELNET" i want to have for several CISCO devices.
Currently i have created a ssh-protocol-handler in the local registry of
the "viewing" machine. Then i have created HOSTNAME.html files in the
server/www/notes directory which enables me to provide links, for example
HREF="ssh:HOSTNAME". This enables me to login to the specified host. In
general this is what i want.
But: i think it's more efficient to have an extra column on the overview
site which provides me with the specified protocol link. Would that be
possible to implement? For example with an extra tag in the hosts.cfg file?
Hope i have described detailed enough what i want...
Best regards
Christian
