I think a larger discussion on Xymon's roadmap in terms of Docker
and container analysis is definitely something warranted. A
host-based approach tends to invite individualized responses to
coordination among varying levels of architecture (including both
host -> hypervisor, baremetal (eg, DRAC) -> host, and
hypervisor "status" reporting), but containers' typically ephemeral
nature could merit a distinct reference point -- or not, if it's
desired to have them persistently reportable. Host-Svc may or may
not make sense there.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I tend to agree that a move to Github
may be helpful here at this point - athough with the various
community issues people have had with GH since MS's purchase, it
seems there has been a bit of an outcry, I'm not sure there's much
SF will end up being able to capitalize on. It would certainly
make PR's easier to coordinate and invite more interaction.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The largest stalling point on the
roadmap here was indeed the IPv6 transition. I think things are
releasable in an Alpha state, and that was the intent at the last
release, but it's been difficult to find any site using IPv6 at
sufficient scale who could help with the testing process. That's a
bit of a Catch-22 though, and perhaps it would be best to release
an easy reference point for future testing and go from there -
along with the various other patches that I've received. (And this
does raise the question of what the next highest priorities out
there will be.)<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I agree with
SebA on this issue. I count on Xymon and it has proven itself
many times over. But there needs to be seen a roadmap. I get
comments about Xymon being so 80's but I answer back with how
Xymon gets the job done. But we are in seriously changing
times with so much being done in the virtual, containerized
and micro-kernel areas. There is an array of "cloud" hosting
options. Maybe a discussion is needed on what Xymon will do
and will not do in the future.</div>

<div>The lack of releases (and commits - there are commits
after the last release, but only 2) on the *nix side is
concerning. IPv6 support may have been something that
people thought would be needed, and then wasn't so much in
demand, but I think that demand would be there if Xymon
had good support for Docker container monitoring. With
the increasing use of Docker, Xymon needs to be able
monitor Docker containers or it will die a slow death (and
it may already be too late).</div>

<div>Many years ago, I pushed for Xymon to be moved from VCS
to SVN to promote community contributions. Git,
specifically GitHub, has replaced SVN as the best thing to
promote community contributions, and I think it would be
beneficial if the official Xymon code repos are migrated
to GitHub. (There is an unofficial sync project to sync a
lot of SVN projects to GitHub but the project has recently
closed: <a href="https://github.com/svn2github/xymon"

in at the sourceforge repository, so it's not dead.
Someone doing the work will have to tell you what
