Forgot to mention, I am using centos 6.8 and I do see the sections dir here ( and no local dir ).
/usr/share/xymon-client/sections
under that dir I do see few scripts
# ls
ipcs meminfo mounts README vmstats
I have xymon-client-4.3.21-4.el6.x86_64 installed
I went ahead and added a script called lscpu
# cat /usr/share/xymon-client/sections/lscpu
#!/bin/dash
# collecting cpu info
exec /usr/bin/lscpu 2>/dev/null
Do I need to restart the xymon client? So, if I understand correctly, this script will survive a yum update xymon-client?
Thanks a lot for such a detail description!
Nope, it scans the directory each time executes, so it should be visible in the next report. Just make sure the script is chmod +x
If a 'local' directory is present it's searched, otherwise it's not. The README there (or the README-local and README-sections in /usr/share/doc/xymon-client-*/) has a fuller explanation. The actual reading is done inside xymonclient.sh (not xymonclient-linux.sh), so this applies equally to all OS's.
And yes, any file left in there should be untouched by RPM when an update occurs.
