[Xymon] FW: SMTP on multiple ports

[Tim McCloskey]

Hi,

Without looking at the docs I think what you are seeing is a host entry getting parsed and picking up the first 'smtp' statement it sees.  So, out of the box for an individual host entry with multiple smtp statements, probably no.  Then again, it is an open source project, so 'out of the box' has a different meaning:)

If you want to add your own tests it's fairly simple, but I don't think you can extend the single smtp gem with multiple ports on the same host.  You can have tests with different host:port pairs or add a column with your own tests.  Depends on if you want the screen to draw more gems horizontally, or increase the host count (vertically).

Regards,

Tim

Subject: [Xymon] SMTP on multiple ports

Can xymon smtp test on multiple ports out of the box? And if so is
there a way to see which port is being requested?

We've got a separate test defined in protocols.cfg and that works, but
if the syntax were the same as for other network test, this should
work also:

10.0.1.1     mailer.example.com # smtp smtp:8025

However I see only one test result with no port identified.

Maybe protocols.cfg is just the way to do it, but the docs imply that
network tests can take a port as a parameter)
