Hi Jarek, This is a sign of missing tirpc header files. Installing your vendor libtirpc-devel (or similar) package should fix this issue. Ideally this would be auto-determined by the build system. Another option is to remove "-ltirpc" from the Makefile that has been generated after ./configure is run. Regards, -jc

Hi, I believe this message was responded to on the mailing list, but for posterity the normal method for doing this is just to modify your apache configuration. The default xymon.conf apache snippet does not specify an specific VirtualHost config, so any valid SSL configuration should be able to reach the /xymon/ server point. If this isn't desired, just wrap the xymon config itself in your VirtualHost definition. Regards, -jc

Hi, As mentioned in the other post, xymon can be configured to accept all incoming status messages (using the --ghosts= option for xymond -- see the man page). Xymon should be backwards-compatible with virtually all messages and all hosts.cfg entries except for HTTP checks using designated HTTP proxies (the syntax has changed there). If you do notice any issues with that, please let us know as that's probably a bug. Regards, -jc

Hello, For xymon 4.3, assuming ghosts=allow is configured for xymond, hosts not listed in hosts.cfg will be auto-generated and will be visible in reports (most notably, the non-green page. It is correct, though, that un-configured hosts will not be assigned on a normal page. Thus, if their value is all green, they won't be visible without searching for them. This may be a possible feature (a dynamic "ghost" page) for 4.4. -jc
