[Xymon] How Xymon invokes an SSH connection to the Client?

[Agege]

Thank you Adams,

In this scenario, I am investigating Xymon server-and-several-clients installation someone already already made.

How do I determine if the Xymon server is getting data from clients via Xymon protocol or via SSH protocol.
 
And is Xymon protocol equals to port 1984?

Thank you in advance.


Thanks,

The only connections the server initiates are the "network" tests, eg, ping, smtp, http, etc... The client runs it's own client installation package, which will collect all the local information (disk space, processes running, network ports, etc) and then send those to the server using the Xymon protocol (extended from the original Big Brother protocol, but still backwards compatible).
