Does anyone know if there is a client for the mainframe, or some way to monitor when a mainframe is up and the status besides a basic ping test?

You'd have to define what "the mainframe" is. You can look at the source in ./build to see Makefiles for various systems, including generic. And you can try to build it. Alternatively, there is an extension called 'rclient' that can ssh into a remote server and run commands for you to pull data out of machines. What it does is push a script out to the server in question and then run it, collecting the data. I use it for a Tripplite terminal server.

Yes, there are OSS Xymon clients for z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE hosts, currently delivered in https://sites.google.com/site/rsmrcina/xymonclients by the original creator of the software, Rich Smrcina. I am in the process of starting to take care of their maintenance in https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/zxymon/ The distribution of "zXymon" in Savannah is not complete yet, so please use Rich's original site for now - I'll inform you more when I have the structures in Savannah up and running.. For zLinux hosts, the standard Xymon client can be compiled from the source (and of course Xymon server can be run in a zLinux host). Regards, Juha Vuori
