[Xymon] Question concerning port monitoring

I normally handle this sort of thing through virtualhosts. If you're not
talking web, though, and don't need to bother with that then maybe it's
a different story.

I had that working really well at EDS, with over 2500 reports being generated for around 400 different "systems".  The test system was also the Xymon server, which was a 733MHz, single cpu DL380.  I used cron for scheduling, mostly every 5 minutes, with some longer periods (e.g. ssl certs once per day) and one test that ran every 30 seconds...  :)

>> I might be missing your question.  If I want to monitor certain ports for host xyz and other ports for host abc I can tell the software to do this by configuring the server side hobbit-clients.cfg (analysis.cfg in xymon).  These tests could also be for the same ports on different hosts.  Make sure that the changes appear above the DEFAULT stanza in the file.
