NAME

       xymond_client - xymond worker module for client data

SYNOPSIS

       xymond_channel --channel=client xymond_client [options]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

--clear-color=COLOR
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.

--no-clear-msgs
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.

--no-clear-files
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.

--no-clear-ports
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.

--no-ps-listing
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.

--no-port-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.

--no-cpu-listing
Normally the "cpu" status message includes the full cpu-listing received from the client. If you
prefer to just have the monitored cpu load shown, this option will turn off the full cpu-listing.

--uptime-status
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.

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

--unknownclientosok
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.

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

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

--collectors=COLLECTOR1[,COLLECTOR2,...]
Limit the set of collector modules that xymond_client will handle. This is not normally used
except for running experimental versions of the program.

--debug
Enable debugging output.

BUGS

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