I write to you in seek of help for a problem that may be simple
for some but I am having trouble tackling. I will try my best
explain:<br>
<br>
I wish to monitor a scientific computing cluster, these are the
details:<br>
There is a head node and 9 slave blade servers - 10 nodes total.<br>
The slave servers are all connected to a private network,
therefore<br>
The head node has 2 active network devices - 1 for the private
network, and 1 for the outer network to allow remote access to
the cluster. This is the ONLY entry/outgoing point<br>
If the slave nodes need to go out to the internet for updates,
ect.. they connect through a proxy on the head node.<br>
<br>
My xymon server is located off-site but firewall settings allow
communication between the head node of the cluster and my xymon
server. I am currently just probing network tests on the head
node, I did NOT install a xymon client or server yet on any node
of the cluster.<br>
<br>
How can I get a report pushed / pulled to my xymon server so
that I can monitor and test all aspects of EVERY NODE? I want to
be able to receive hardware and custom tests as well. Do I need
to setup some sort of relay xymon server on the head node, or
can I just configure the xymon slave clients to use tinyproxy
which is already set up on the head node?</font></blockquote>
<br>
Yes, install xymon onto the head node, make sure the xymon server is
disabled, but xymonproxy is enabled, and xymon client is enabled.<br>
<br>
Then install xymon client on the remaining 9 nodes, and set the
"xymon server" as the head node internal/private IP.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Adam<br>
