Good afternoon,<br>
<br>
I am new to this list and probably will be new to xymon shortly. I have<br>
currently installed it and am testing it out.<br>
<br>
My current BB system consists of a BBDISPLAY machine, and two BBNET<br>
machines. The two BBNET machines are on either sides of a firewall and<br>
are housed on two different Solaris 10 zones.<br>
<br>
I /think/ I know how to set this up, but there are some aspects of it<br>
that look like they might be irritating if there's no good answer for them:<br>
<br>
First off, my BBDISPLAY does no network monitoring. This looks as simple<br>
as setting DISABLE on the appropriate part of hobbitlaunch.cfg, so this<br>
seems pretty easy.<br>
<br>
Next, my network machines. I don't really want to have to install<br>
RRDTool on it. Is that really necessary? Isn't it only used for display,<br>
or is it also needed by a machine that only does network testing? It<br>
looks like then as far as splitting up which tests run from where, I can<br>
use BBLOCATION and NET:$BBLOCATION, but it appears as if this is by<br>
host, not by test. Any recommendations?<br>
<br>
Lastly, is there any concept of escalation in xymon as there is in BB? I<br>
wouldn't necessarily miss it, but I do currently use it. (Escalation is<br>
that no one can acknowledge a page in such a way that will keep it from<br>
reaching the escalated party, except that person).<br>
