xymond_client - xymond worker module for client data

xymond_channel --channel=client xymond_client [options]

xymond_client is a worker module for xymond, and as such it is normally run via the xymond_channel(8) program. It receives xymond client messages sent from systems that have the the Xymon client installed, and use the client data to generate the Xymon status messages for the cpu-, disk-, memory- and procs-columns. It also feeds Xymon data messages with the netstat- and vmstat-data collected by the client.

When generating these status messages from the client data, xymond_client will use the configuration rules defined in the analysis.cfg(5) file to determine the color of each status message.

Define the color used when sending "msgs", "files" or "ports" reports and there are no rules to check for these statuses. The default is to show a "clear" status, but some people prefer to have it "green". If you would rather prefer not to see these status columns at all, then you can use the "--no-clear-msgs", "--no-clear-files" and "--no-clear-ports" options instead.

If there are no logfile checks, the "msgs" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "msgs" column, this option causes xymond_client to not send in a clear "msgs" status.

If there are no file checks, the "files" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "files" column, this option causes xymond_client to not send in a clear "files" status.

If there are no port checks, the "ports" column will show a "clear" status. If you would rather avoid having a "ports" column, this option causes xymond_client to not send in a clear "ports" status.

Normally the "procs" status message includes the full process-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have the monitored processes shown, this option will turn off the full ps-listing.

Normally the "ports" status message includes the full netstat-listing received from the client. If you prefer to just have the monitored ports shown, this option will turn off the full netstat-listing.

Generate a separate "uptime" status column. The uptime is normally just reported in the "cpu" status column, but if you would like a separate status column for the uptime, you can use this option. It is useful if you want to generate an alert in case of a reboot, without having this alert mixed in with the cpu load alerts.

Sets the filename for the analysis.cfg file. The default value is "etc/analysis.cfg" below the Xymon server directory.

Expect and attempt to parse clients with unknown CLIENTOS types. Useful if you're submitting custom host responses with file or msgs data that you'd like to parse.

Dumps the configuration after parsing it. May be useful to track down problems with configuration file errors.

Starts an interactive session where you can test the analysis.cfg configuration.

Limit the set of collector modules that xymond_client will handle. This is not normally used except for running experimental versions of the program.

Enable debugging output.

~xymon/server/etc/analysis.cfg

The "disk" status cannot handle filesystems containing whitespace in the filesystem (device) name.
