I built something similar just this week using a Raspberry Pi. I
set it up as it's own standalone Xymon server and put it inside a
client's network to monitor things from the inside, and then I'm
monitoring the Pi from the outside using my primary Xymon server.
I'm not having the Pi Xymon server duplicate it's stats on my
outside primary Xymon server, but it can be configured that way
since the man pages talk about doing it.<br>

Scroll down near the bottom of the man page to the 'SENDING
SUMMARIES TO REMOTE XYMON SERVERS' section.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hey all,
<div> I want to monitor my backup internet connection (simple

<div> What's the best way to implement a ping test from the PI
and have it be part of the main server display?</div>
<div> Solutions I've considered so far:</div>
<div> - set up the PI as a xymon server and figure out how to
get the test results to go back to the main server.</div>
<div> - setup the PI as a xymon client and write some sort of
ping test that does the work</div>
<div> - something else I missed?</div>

<div>Thanks!</div>
