We sometimes get the same issue with client's status reports getting assigned to the wrong host in the Xymon server too (and this is just using the normal xymond receiver).

It's difficult to track down and can happen briefly, trigger an alert and vanish into the mist within a minute when the next report comes in (though some evidence is left behind in the history).

<div>Hi Ralph,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For direct SSL wrapping of client
submission to xymond, yes. For authentication of source messages
via proxy or intermediary, no.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For high-volume situations, or where a
reply is not needed, cgimsg will still be a useful mechanism. SSL
setup, teardown, and decryption in the core daemon still has an
impact, so offloading that to a receiver for termination would be
recommended depending on your scale.</div>

<div>Hi Jim,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking at the XSS report and sorting through a
variety of the patches since this release now. <br>
</div>
<div>There will be a 4.3.31 release with this as well as
other updates, as well as a 4.4 pre-release. Due to
there being a longish gap, a maintenance release is
appropriate.<br>

has been released and is now available for
download.<br>
<br>
4.3.30 is mostly a bug-fix release, quashing
issues stemming from the<br>
security fixes in 4.3.29, including
improperly-tight restrictions on<br>
allowed characters in hostname for browsing along
with several other<br>
parsing errors. Thanks in particular to Tom
Schmidt for his assistance<br>
in tracking these down.<br>
<br>
Xymon should also now be more easily buildable on
older GCC versions<br>
without the diagnostics pragma available.<br>
<br>
Xymon 4.3.30 is available from the Xymon
SourceForge page at<br>

As always, thank you to all who have contributed
code, ideas, and features<br>
to the project!<br>
