[Xymon] XYmon in a DMZ

[Root, Paul T]

I'm not sure about fetching from one server to the next, but someone will answer that.

I would (and do) setup the DMZ server as a proxy and server in one. Have the proxy run on port 1984, and the server run on port 1985 (or other). 
Then the proxy forwards to the local server port and to the global. 

Or to keep things simpler, don't have the DMZ xymon server even be a server, have it just be a proxy. 

As to the remote machine. If you are sending straight to the global server anyway, why bother with that server? If you do need it there, then it probably wants to be a proxy as well. 

You can also have the remote servers send a summary status to the global, that way you will know with 1 icon the state of the remote servers' clients. That is, if it is green, everything reporting to that server is green.

Hi,

  Can someone explain me if I could do this with XYmon !
   1) DMZ hosts send all data to a "local DMZ xymon"
   2) XYmon global server fetch all data from this "local DMZ xymon"

  I bet I have to use "xymonproxy", but I read and re-read the documentation,
  it's very cristal clear for me. Can someone explain to the big picture
  please ?

  Also, I have hosts in a remote site, I installed a Xymon server there. Remote
  hosts report to this remote XYmon server. For a few hosts, I add an extra IP
  to XYMSERVERS and it sends also data to my XYmon global server
  Is it the best to do it ? Like the previous questin, can the XYmon global
  server fetch data from the remote Xymon server.

  With my choice : 1 global xymon, 1 on each remote location, I have to watch a
  couple of the XYmon pages, I don't have an global overview...

  How do you guys do ?  Any Xymon architecture advices is welcome !

  Thanks
