[Xymon] Item "PROCS" not complete

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Has BBWin been tested to see if it still works with version 5?  That would be painful for many of us.  Or better yet, is anyone building a new windows client?

It has been reported before, and is usually caused by the client data containing a very long list of network connections.

Would it be possible to have xymond recognise a client data message that is compressed and auto-decompress it?  Then we could insert a "| gzip" into xymonclient.sh, and many of these problems would go away.

In fact, having a generic pre-processor plug-in framework could be really useful beyond just compression.  It could perform authentication to compare status/data message signatures against public keys (or certs) stored in a xymon-hostkeys.cfg file, and reject messages that don't match the signing key for a host.  A plug-in for encryption would work the same way.

Much of this has already been put into version 5: Compression, TLS encryption and client authentication via client SSL certificates. So it is pretty much done.
