[Xymon] Setting up a Xymon proxy server

[Ward, Martin]

Brilliant, my thanks Buchan and Paul for your assistance.

I found that if I wanted to use a single hosts.cfg file as Buchan suggested then I had to create a NET tag for every entry and adjust it for those in the new network. This was easily done by adding "NET:default" on to the .default. entry and setting XYMONNETWORK="default" in the xymonserver.cfg file.

This approach will work, but the NET tag was specifically provided for this case, and would mean you aren't forced to have diverging hosts.cfg files across your Xymon servers.



Devmon also respects the NET tag.
