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.

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

       --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.
