Blocking unwanted agents reporting
list Eli
Hello, Is there a way I can block agents reporting to xymon server. I have 1000 hosts reports to our sever some of them I don't want them them to report but the agents on all machine and hard to track the owner to disable the agent. So I am thinking if there us way can block you can do as exhost for alert. Thanks Eli

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Eli, take a look at the manpage of xymond. There are several command line options for this binary which control who can send status messages, maintenance commands or admin commands to the server. In your case you might want to add something like --status-senders=IP/MASK to tasks.cfg into the [xymond] block to allow status updates only from IP/MASK.

Thanks much that helpful. I wish I can block by host name. :)

It's worth noting that --status-senders limits what IP addresses can send updates on behalf of other IP addresses. It does not stop hosts from sending updates from their own IP address, even if not listed in --status-senders. So I could just set --status-senders=127.0.0.1 and it should not stop me getting updates from any devices.
