[Xymon] Proxy Priority?

[Clark, Sean]

Yeah, I know if the files are all the same, I wouldn't have issues

However, some of those displays, want no test of "files"

The other displays, I do want tests of files… that's why they were different

I didn't notice it was working like this right away – a majority go to 1985 local… but not all

Sean,

You can sync client-local.cfg if you designate one of the servers as master. If all the servers are the same, it won't matter which one responds.

xymon master "config client-local.cfg"

Will retrieve the master client-local.cfg.

David.


I have a setup like this:


+------------------------+        +----------------------+
|  xymon:1985            |        |                      |
|------------------------|        |  Downstream client   |
|  xymonproxy:1984       | <-----+|                      |
+------------------------+        +----------------------+
    +
    |
    |
    |
    +----->   proxy sends to localhost:1985, and upstream host1 1984, upstream host2 1984

[this is repeated across several sites]


The issue is, when downstream client looks to get it's config – in some sites, it gets the local-client from xymon:1985 host, but in others, it gets it from upstream hostX:1984


The xymondproxy in the tasks.cfg is identical in each place (--server localhost:1985, host1:1984, host2:1984)   -- so I am confused as to why some get localhost, and some do not — the local-client is different in each place – and I'D prefer some setting I am missing (?) so that it always gets the local-client from the xymon:1985 instance.
