Does Xymon support IPv6?

I'm assuming that there will be an IPv4 stack still on the machine, so we
could most likely monitor that, but it would be nice if Xymon was keeping
track of v6 as well.

Not yet. It is the next "big feature" that needs implementing. I have
already gotten my hands on an IPv6 connected system so I can test it.

To begin with, I will add IPv6 support to the Xymon network test tool
(xymonnet). Moving the xymond daemon and web interface tools to IPv6
requires a bit more work, so to begin with you will still have to host your
Xymon server on IPv4.

Henrik

Someone may disagree, but I think most if not all uses of Xymon will be

reason to require IPv4 for Xymon.

If you are providing services on IPv6, you may want to be able to ensure
that
those services are actually available ...

For now, I see no need for the client-side to support IPv6, but in time
that
may also become a real requirement.
