Hi ...

I 've set up an a mon-server which receives traps from some client mon
servers (send via remote.alert).

After restarting the main mon server, all services monitored by the
client mon servers are in unknown-state until I restart the client server
or a service on client server fails.

Is there a possibility to repeat sending upalerts to inform the main
server that everything is ok and not unknown? Any other hints to get the
correct status at the main mon server without restarting mon on every
client?

Thanks for every hint ...



I strongly recommend that you look at the current version of Mon in CVS. One of the new features is a mon config option called 'redistribute', which takes the name of an alert script and calls that alert script on *every* status update. This is to allow you to redistribute complete status information to remote mon servers, or even into other systems. We use it with a script that sends traps to other mon servers, to provide the complete status information to all our servers.

I actually just committed some updates to the CVS HEAD last week, pulling up some changes that Jim has done in the Mon 1.0 cvs branch. I believe I'm about ready to tag this as mon-1.1pre and release a tarball.
