I use FahMon, as do allot of folks here to moitor benchmarks & ppd for their respective machines. I've always had trouble setting up a system whereby I can monitor both WinDoze & Linux machines through the same FahMon interface.
Possible Solution:
I have a VPS Server and can allocate static IP addresses with it, takes about two minutes to setup. On my Linux boxes, I could set up a Cron Job to FTP or SSH the relevate files < I'm assuming the unitinfo.txt and FAHlog.txt files > to a static IP address, under a foldername which represents that specific machine. Then to add a new client to the FahMon, just point the location to that IP address / folder location and it should pull the data into FahMon.
Obviously your Cron Job would have to be set to something more than your Check-Point Setting, say (Check-Point + 2 Minutes). I use 30 to keep utilization on Check-Points at a reasonable level.
Questons:
1. Do we know what is needed from each respective FAH folder in order for FahMon to update the Client ?
2. Has anyone figured out a simple way of doing this? Bare in mind, allot of Work Borg's are behind access firewalls or VPN tunnels, so getting to them from home is trcky without passing Domain Authentication credintials. This method of FTP would resolve that problem, as it's outbound from the Domain, not inbound to it. It could also remove the windows Domain issues for Windows machines as well, just use the Task Scheduler v.s. Cron.
3. Any other thoughts or Ideas ?
