[xymon] TS: Xymon and another BB server

[Shea, Graeme A]

I have several networks separated by various firewalls and a WAN. Each
network (remote site) runs BB BTF (on windows) and each display locally
and relay to my central XyMon server. In my case the only setup of the
remote sites was to add "BBRELAY:XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS" to the
relevant line in the bbhosts file. In my case the whole line looks like:

 

0.0.0.0   LOCAL_SERVER_NAME  # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET
BBRELAY:XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS

 

Replace LOCAL_SERVER_NAME and XyMON_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS with your relevant
values ;-).

 

 

Hope this helps

Regards

Graeme

Design question:

    Currently we have 2 separate networks.

    We are running BB on both of the networks.  The display is on the
local network.

    The separated network can send info to the local network so that the
local BB server can display all of the information for us and alert us.

    There are about 40 servers we need the info from on the separated
network.

 

    Is there a way to accept the data from the separated BB server into
the local Xymon server?

    We will be replacing the BB server with the Xymon server on the
local network.

 

    We do not want to punch a hole for each server if we don't have to
for security reasons.

 

 

Additional question:

    Can an Xymon server on the separated network report all of its info
to the local Xymon server for display?

    Do you need an additional Xymon server on the separated network to
just gather the info and forward it to the local Xymon server?

 

All ideas are appreciated!  J

 

Thanks,
