[Xymon] Is this thing on?

[Scot Kreienkamp]

I would be OK with contributing some as well…. But that’s not what Xymon needs.  Xymon needs caretaker(s) to keep it relevant.  That means code updates to fix bugs, adapt it to new OS versions, etc.  Otherwise it will fade away to obscurity like many other open source projects.  I’m not a coder either, or I would gladly give some time to it.

I would like to continue the legacy. I'm not a developer but I'm willing to pay for hosting space and the domain name to keep it going for as long as I'm alive. Its kept me employed for a long time.

I've been using Xymon at several different employers since it was BigBrother owned by a couple of guys in Canada.  My current Senior VP wants Xymon to go away.  He hasn't actually told me that directly, but I've heard it via another channel.  We have SolarWinds on some machines, but I've never even seen the GUI for that.  We're also distributing Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to a bunch of machines.  I don't know for sure, but I suspect a contracting company is whispering in my SVP's ear to sell support for OEM.  In the meantime, my Xymon server has 878 days uptime and they're still trying to figure out how to install and configure the OEM agents.  It's going to be tons of fun watching them try to replace all the little scripts I've written with OEM equivalents.

@Cristoph - I don't know if I can use stunnel.  It's a military-related company and there are all kinds of restrictions that sometimes even make sense.

No new release since 2019, no activity on the mailing list, I think it’s safe to say it’s flatlined.  Sad to see it fade, I’ve been using it for a decade or more.

Is Xymon dying? No new release since 2019, There was a roadmap in 2015 that mention Versions 4.4 up to 5 but nothing seems to have moved on that.

It feels like Xymon has become a static project that’s going to fade away. That would be a shame as I for one think it’s a great tool.
