data_sendmsg - spong-network module that sends copies of update messages to other spong-servers
This is a plugin module for the Spong the spong-server manpage program. This module sends incoming update messages to other spong-servers. It's purpose is to set up regional Spong configurations that feed incoming status messages to upper level Spong configurations.
$SENDMSG_SERVERS = "spong-reg1.myinc.com:1998 spong-toplevel.myinc.com:1998 spong-proxy.myinc.com:19980"; $SENDMSG_INC_HOSTS = ( '.*', ); $SENDMSG_EXCL_HOSTS = ( 'test1', 'test2', '.engr.myinc.com$', );

The check_interfaces module use SNMP to poll a host. It retrieves the ifIndex, ifDesc, ifType, ifAdminStatus, and ifOperStatus fields for every entry in the ifTable table. The module then scans all of all of the network interfaces inretrieved from the table. Any interface that is administratively up and is not operationally up will result in an critical status (red) being return.
data_sendmsg uses the Spong::Status
library module to work. It uses the
new capability to send a status message to multiple servers. It is only
available in versions 0.02 and up of the Spong::Status module.
