Hi,
Using the Terabithia 4.3.28 RPMS, the 'cpu' column typically shows the output
from the 'top' command received from the client. While we have no problem with
users knowing if a server has a problem, we do not necessarily want them seeing
the processes running on the server. (A bit of security by obscurity I
suppose.)
The attached patches implement a 'xymond_client' option named '--no-cpu-
listing'. This is basically similar to the current '--no-ps-listing' and '--no-
port-listing' options (both of which we already use). The default for the new
option is to be disabled - that is, as before, the 'top' listing is shown. If
the option is used (in the tasks.cfg file, under the 'clientdata' section),
then no 'top' output is included in the 'cpu' column, and just the uptime
output and CPU load graph are shown.
Both patches are only a few lines long. We have used this patch for a long time
without any problems.
