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
              Sets  the  minimum  percentage  of free filesystem space on the $CLIENTLOGS directory. If there is
              less than N% free space, xymond_hostdata will not save the data.  Default: 5

       --debug
              Enable debugging output.

FILES

       All of the host data are stored in the $CLIENTLOGS directory, by default this is the  $XYMONVAR/hostdata/
       directory.
