[Xymon] Changing Host Header

[SEGLARD, Thomas]

Hi Henrik,

Thanks a lot for answer but none of your solutions work. Basically, I have 30 webservers running Apache and the only way to have their "server status" statistics is putting a header "Host: localhost". When I'm using "apache=http://prdwatweb016:8090/sstatus" within Xymon configuration, I can see in prdwatweb016's Apache logs that Apache can't get access to /sstatus due to server configuration meaning that it doesn't have the specific header.

I can't modify the Apache's configuration due to our security policy but I can make a little script to get the stats on each server. The main problem is that I don't know how to send these stats to Xymon Server to be analyzed and graphed properly...

Maybe I'm not asking the correct question :) Please feel free to correct me or ask for more infos.
Sincerly,

Thomas S

Use "apache=http://prdwatweb016:8090/sstatus" and make sure 
"prdwatweb016" resolves to the right IP. Worst case, add an entry to 
your Xymon servers' /etc/hosts file for it.

(With ordinary http checks, you could specify the IP to use as
    http://prdwatwab016=127.0.0.1:8090/sstatus
  but I'm not sure if that works for the "apache" test).
