xymondboard & "client data" ?

Greetings -

I've been searching for a way to use Xymon to retrieve details from the "client data" report for many hosts. XYMONDBOARD looks like it is *close*, but I cannot find the exact syntax required.

I'm running v4.3.7 (old, I know).

If I click on the "client data available" for a host, I want to retrieve some of the stanzas in that report (client, osversion). But for many hosts, via a CLI.

Thanks for any assistance you can pass along.

Hi,

you could also go to ~xymon/data/hostdata and there you'll find a
directory for every host that sends this data and in every directory
you'll find the actual client data among a lot of old ones.

Although I am aware that it might be somewhat easier with builtin
funcionality. But maybe for a first try until someone comes up with a
much better idea ;-)

Just my 2 cents

Hi Jon,

have a look at `clientlog HOSTNAME` instead of `xymondboard`, that fetches data you get by clicking on `client data available` on the web interface.
It’s documented in `xymon(1)`. It’s also possible to extract a specific section from the clientlog :)

Combined with `xymondboard` and a for-loop you should get what you need.

All the best
Thomas

Thanks loads!
