Buffer client data until fetched / periodic synch
list Steinar M. Skúlason
Hi, I'm monitoring a few clients that are located with our hosting partner, and I'm pondering on how I can add to my monitoring customers that do their own hosting ( of our software ). The thing is they are behind a firewall that requires a manual routine to connect, so doing it automatically is out of the question so it rules out bbfetch/hobbitfetch. But I was wondering if I can setup a monitoring solution remotly in their data-senter, that I would be able to synch my local xymon server with and doing so get all the trends and messages that has been gathered since last synch ( not for alerts, just for historical reference ). So if I need to debug anything on their end, I can synch the monitoring and see when things started and how it escelated etc. Any one have anyrthing similar setup for them ? I'm currently running my clients/servers on version 4.2.3 Best Regards, Steinar M.

I'm not sure if this does everything you need, but certainly a starting point: http://www.xymon.com/hobbit/help/manpages/man8/bbproxy.8.html Malcolm -- Technical copy-editor & proofreader KDE Proofreading Team KDE British English Translation Team http://l10n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=en_GB Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/FriendlyAtheist Jetzt kostenlos herunterladen: Internet Explorer 8 und Mozilla Firefox 3.5 - sicherer, schneller und einfacher! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/chbrowser

Thank you for your reply, but I have read the man page for bbproxy, just not sure if it could handle a buffer that could be over 2days or even more. Best Regards, Steinar
