[Xymon] questions

[Jeremy Laidman]

Chad

Situations like what exactly? When a server is rebooted? Or when a server
stops communicating? Can you explain what symptoms? What is a "director"?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Solarwinds product.

Out of the box, Xymon can detect a few different types of communication
issues (eg ping checks, TCP port responses) as well as monitoring logfiles
for messages that indicate trouble. Furthermore, Xymon is highly
extensible, so if you can write a script to perform a test for your
problem, you can turn it into a message for Xymon to display, and
optionally alarm via email or other means.

Cheers
Jeremy
