4.3.28 Patch
list Bruno Deschamps
Hi, I have a old version of Xymon (4.3.11) running with more then 300 clients. I have some customizations on my Xymon, and i dont want to update all Xymon sources There is a patch only for the problem below? Xymond_alert should now provide more stable behavior when hosts are dropped or alerts go stale between launches. Thanks [assinatura_email_Bruno_Deschamps]

Since it is a patch for xymond_alert, you only need to update the Xymon server. Older clients will work fine with the new server software (not necessarily the other way around). Regards, Henrik Den 27-02-2017 kl. 13:44 skrev Bruno Deschamps:

You only need to replace the xymond binary. When this is compiled, it includes code from the xymond_alert.c file. The patch was for the xymond_alert.c file. You could either compile the 4.3.28 source code and copy the xymond binary into place, or you could replace xymond_alert.c in your 4.3.11 code tree and recompile it (and then copy the xymond binary into place).

xymond_alert *should* be okay in this regards, but it's always preferable to update the entire server at once when possible. In particular: xymonnet, xymond_client and xymond_rrd should *not* be updated to current releases in this way for a 4.3.11 install as the default format of the "combo" messages generated by the internal tools changed in 4.3.13 in a way that's not backwards compatible for the older xymond. (The packed "extcombo" format is used instead, which is much more efficient to parse.) Regards, -jc
