Xymon data into other tools. 🔗 link

I'd like to work with the data that the Xymon system is collecting,
ultimately providing a CSV file or SysLog stream that others within my team
could ingest with their tool of choice.

I know I could write an rrdtool command to periodically dump the last 5
minutes of data, but I was hoping there was a cleaner way to hook into the
server.  I have checked the Xymon documentation on both SourceForge.net and
at WikiBooks.org, but I don't seem to find this documented.

Anyone have any pointers or thoughts on this?

Thanks,
DanL

You could point Splunk at various logs and see what you come up with...

Take a look at the xymond_sample module.  You can hook it into the various
incoming data streams and "do stuff" with the reports. You can use the
source as a basis for your own module.
