[Xymon] Remote Xymon server

Wed Jun 13 15:25:47 CEST 2012

Unfortunately, while this does give me something to work with it's not
exactly what I'd like.

Does anyone know of a way of showing the "All Non-green" page from a
remote server on a local server?

I appreciate that I could get this display by specifying summary entries
for each host/test combination but that would be extremely time
consuming and a maintenance headache.

Perhaps I could create a snapnongreen_footer template that included an
iframe that would show the remote server all non green page.

Anyone any other ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,

Neil Simmonds

You might want to look at the summary line hosts.cfg.

I have a sort of similar question - we have xymon running in two data
centers and I am trying to figure out if I can have each instance
monitor the other instance - i.e. have a link from one site to the other
site on each site. So that we would only have one web page to monitor
and if we see the link to the second site go red then we would click on
it and that would take us to the website for the second site.

Thanks,

Hi all,

We are looking at adding Xymon monitoring at another of our sites soon.
Ideally we'll just configure the agents to point at our Xymon server
however I'm wondering if we might be better setting up a remote server.
My main concern is the volume of traffic but considering that we will be
looking at running the agents in Central mode I'm wondering what the
difference will be in the amount of data being sent.

Will a remote server reduce the amount of traffic, given that we still
want to be able to see the data on our main server. 

Regards,
