Centralized monitoring and custom checks

[Michael Arney]

Hi,

We're evaluating Xymon to monitor our Java application at client sites.  We will be writing custom checks, but we'd like to set thresholds for colors (and alerts) at the server.  It seems like HOBBIT-CLIENTS.CFG would be the place to do this, but I don't see how I would list my custom service check there.

I should add: more than half our clients' servers are Windows (rest are Solaris or AIX), so I've been playing with bbwin.  It seems to have an option "bbwinupdate" where it pulls config files from the Xymon server.  I think that would work for us, but it doesn't help us for the Unix boxes.

Thanks,
