On February 9, Henrik posted the following roadmap to the list. I
haven't heard much lately so I don't know if it has changed.
Version 4.4:
* SNMP support for data collection
* Status updates based on data collected in the RRD files (this is
really nice - essentially, *any* value you put into an RRD file
can trigger a new or modified status in Xymon. So you could eg.
change the status of your "http" test to go red, if the response
time of a webpage exceeds 5 seconds).
* Status "flap" handling, to catch statuses that change rapidly.
Version 4.5:
* Support for communication between clients and Xymon to use
compression and/or encryption.
* Support for client authentication via SSL certificates (so
you cannot spoof a client message).
Version 4.6:
* Revised web interface - eliminate the need for webserver-based
authentication, and provide more fine-grained authorization
for the various Xymon components.
* Per-user custom login pages, so the login will always show those
systems that the user has responsibility for / is allowed to
access.
Somewhere along the road I will also introduce a new "ping" test
daemon - I am getting to the point where ping'ing all hosts take
longer than 5 minutes (I have a lot of hosts). So something needs
to be done, and I think I know how to do it.
