Hello,
Using Xymon 4.3.7 I see that most (possibly all) of the services being
monitored for a host contain a link in the web page saying 'Client data
available'.
By clicking on the link I can see that it shows some info about the
host, but my question is why? What is this link for?
As far as I can tell there is no way to disable the link from appearing.
Is that correct? It may be that we would prefer not having the link
present, so preventing users from seeing info about the host itself.
It really shines when the [hostdata] task is enabled (by default),
Okay, not sure what this is but I'll take a look tomorrow (haven't
looked at 'tasks' at all yet).
Need to see what process was running when disk use rose above 95%? You
can.
Ah, okay. Yes I can see that would be useful.
I don't think there's a specific way to prevent the client report link
from being visible, short of patching.
Yes, I can see that it only requires commenting out one line (in
htmllog.c I think), but obviously would rather not unless required.
I'll take a closer look tomorrow at the info displayed and see if maybe
we're being a bit too paranoid? :-)
Thanks,
John.
