I do have a few custom scripts in my tasks.cfg, nothing that would really
affect it though I wouldn't think..
# "storestatus" saves status-logs in text- and html-format, like the old
Big Brother
# daemon does. Unless you are using add-ons that directly access the
log-files, you
# will not need to run this module, and it is recommended that you keep it
disabled
/usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymoncmd /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/wpscan.sh#
since storing the raw logs on disk can cause a significant load on your
server.
[storestatus]
DISABLED
ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymond_channel --channel=status
--log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/status.log xymond_filestore --status --html
# "storedata" saves information sent using the BB "data" protocol, like the
old Big Brother
# daemon does. Unless you are using add-ons that directly access the
data-files, you
# will not need to run this module, and it is recommended that you keep it
disabled
# since storing the raw data on disk can cause a significant load on your
Xymon server.
# RRD graphs uses data-files, but since RRD is handled by the xymond_rrd
module, you do
# not need to run the "storedata" module to get RRD graphs.
[storedata]
DISABLED
ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymond_channel --channel=data --log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/data.log
xymond_filestore --data
# "storeenadis" updates the files used to indicate that a host or test has
been enabled or disabled.
# Unless you are running server side scripts that look at these files, you
do not need this.
[storeenadis]
DISABLED
ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD xymond_channel --channel=enadis
--log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/enadis.log xymond_filestore --enadis
# "storenotes" saves web note-files, that are sent using the BB "notes"
protocol. This is
# disabled by default; if you use the Big Brother "notes" protocol, then
you should enable this.
[storenotes]

ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
