[Xymon] Apache tag not working, not playing nice with http tag.

[Ward, Martin]

Hi Elizabeth,

Just so as I understand it right, you are trying to monitor an Apache daemon running on a remote server?

Remote monitoring of ports is done from the Xymon server itself, i.e. the connection is initiated from your Xymon server to your webserver. Mine is configured and working like this:

hosts.cfg:10.5.1.2            server.colt.net   # ssh ftp http://server.colt.net/

In this manner I get a column labelled 'http' which shows green when the web server is running.

How does your setup differ from this?
