Hi Guys,


I configured both XYMON client and server into our client side, it working
fine. I want to monitor it into our offshore office(in different place).

In our offshore office I configured XYMON server. I connected client side
XYMON server to our offshore office XYMON server. But I am unable to get
data from client side(XYMON server) to our offshore office XYMON server.

Following errors are shown:

1. If I check bbd(Client side Collector Server) error is:

Service bbd on abixymon.mtncameroon.net is not OK : Service unavailable
(connect timeout)

Seconds: 0.00


2. If I check http(Client side Collector Server) error is:
http://abixymon.mtncameroon.net/ - DNS error
Seconds:     0.00

Kindly provide me the solution for the same.


With Regards,

Jayanta.

Your Xymon server running the http test cannot do a DNS-lookup
for abixymon.mtncameroon.net . Either fix the DNS issue, or
specify the IP-address to use for the http test with the
  http://abixymon.mtncameroon.net=10.0.0.1/
syntax to override the DNS lookup.


Regards,
Henrik

Eureka!  Didn't know about the "=ip" syntax, so this post sent me to the
manpage.  This is perfect for our situation of Internet-facing virtual
hosts with private addresses in the internal split DNS.  Up to now, if a
NAT failure occurred for one of these, we didn't necessarily know, because
we were testing via the RFC1918 address.  Couldn't use straight-IP URLs
because of virtual host settings and rewrite rules.
