NAME

xymond_hostdata - xymond worker module for storing historical client data  

SYNOPSIS

xymond_channel --channel=clichg xymond_hostdata

 

DESCRIPTION

xymond_hostdata is a worker module for xymond, and as such it is normally run via the xymond_channel(8) program. Whenever a status column in Xymon changes to an alert state (usually red, yellow or purple), this module receives a copy of the latest Xymon client data sent by the host, and stores it on disk. This allows you to review all of the data collected by the Xymon client on the server around the time that a problem occurred. This can make troubleshooting incidents easier by providing a snapshot of the host status shortly before a problem became apparent.

Note: This module requires that xymond(8) is launched with the "--store-clientlogs" option enabled.

 

OPTIONS

--minimum-free=N

FILES
