[Xymon] Fwd: Re. Is this thing on?

[Bruno Manzoni]

Hi.
Seem that Ye-Fee is unable to email to the mailing list?
*Can you check that if there is a problem ( I think Henrik) ?*

By to way, I remember that we have to migrate to another service.

*What about: https://mailman3.com/ which is free for opensource ?* 
(comment to do or not to do are welcome!)
*Can someone take the job ? *
Thing to do:
- Ask malman3 if possible to have a freemailing list
- The we can see how to do it! (That will need for sure to contact 
Henrik), but I can help also.

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

    I was able to email xymon at xymon.com long time ago, and now find 
myself unable to email

anymore.  I have used xymon at different organizations over the decades, 
and would love to

help the tool/platform to continue for decades more.  Simply there is no 
other product

that is more versatile, easy to manage, and light server+client 
requirement.  Many more people are

eager to contribute, but can only just read the xymon list email, from 
the side line.

    Thanks for your summary of Xymon non-technical and technical needs. 
Just to keep the

enthusiasm going, I would suggest a section on "making the better use of 
Xymon as now"

I am only a sys admin, not a coder, so my focus is on management and 
usability areas.

1. enhanced cpu utilization graph (adds wait IO; better colors); see 1a.

2. menu script (see 2a) to clean up of accumulating rrd, hostdata and 
histlogs, eg. due to short-term

    ad-hoc metrics like nfs file systems, container nic devices.

3. menu script (see 3a) to manage clients easier

Keep up the great work!

Ye-Fee
