Xymon Client Configuration Updates from Multiple Xymon Servers?
list James Lose
If a Xymon client is configured to send status messages to multiple Xymon servers, is it possible that the client will receive configuration updates from more than one of the servers?

I wonder if the order in which the Xymon servers are defined in the XYMSERVERS variable determines which server gets the last word regarding the clients config.

I would expect it would go through the process twice, once per server. I haven't confirmed this.

The xymon client connects to both servers and sends its client data. But it only waits for the client config update from the first server to which it could connect. This can be confirmed by manually running xymon on a client with the "--debug" switch, like so: $XYMON --debug $XYMSRV "@" < $XYMONTMP/msg.$MACHINEDOTS It shows that the first connection reads data from the server after writing, but the second connection only writes.
