Hi.

I was looking through the graphs.cfg, and noticed there were definitions for some useful graphs, especially BIND, sendmail and mailq. How do I use these graphs? Do I need to setup something on the client to transmit the data? There were no comments in graphs.cfg and I cannot find anything in the Xymon man-pages.

These graph-definitions are "left-overs" from the older Big Brother/LARRD
setups.

You do need to install some client-side add-on to generate data for these
graphs, but I am not sure if the current versions of BIND or sendmail
support reporting data in the way that these add-ons expect.

If you want to play with it, go to www.deadcat.net (the Big Brother
add-on site) and search for "LARRD". The "bottom-feeder" modules are
the client-side add-ons you should be looking at.

Henrik
