[Xymon] Question concerning port monitoring

[Tim McCloskey]

Ah -- I see.  Then the ports column covers all of the listeners on that host so port 5321 is down and it goes red.....  Okay that's a different issue.  Will have to think about that for a bit.

Thanks, 

Tim

By server, he means "server instance." If he stops one "server" (like an
instance of Tomcat or something), he would like it to be separated out
from other instances of same on the same machine.

If I want to monitor certain ports for host xyz and other ports for host abc I can tell the software to do this by configuring the server side hobbit-clients.cfg (analysis.cfg in xymon).  These tests could also be for the same ports on different hosts.  Make sure that the changes appear above the DEFAULT stanza in the file.
