<p>It's not clear but I only have unidirection access to most of my monitored systems so I have to use xymonfetch. Would this still work where each datacenter server could be managed/communicate with a local instance that handles the alerts (for example)?
I'm guessing this is so but just want to confirm. Sounds like I'm in a similar situation as Paul...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi,<br>
<br>
the recent talk on xymon-developer about rewriting xymonproxy to support TLS, IPv6 and other good stuff made me think about other ways of scaling Xymon across large installations.<br>
<br>
Which led me to the idea of having multiple independent Xymon servers - a swarm, because no one Xymon server depends on the others, but they can cooperate.<br>
