Xymon column descriptions

bbd The bbd column shows the status of the Xymon or Big Brother service on the host. The bbd service is an essential part of the Xymon or Big Brother monitoring system, so a failure of this service typically means that a large part of the monitoring system is no longer operational.

conn The conn test performs a "ping" of the host.

http The http column shows the status of one or more Web requests sent to the server. http is now the ubiquitous method for exchanging information across a network, it is the service used when your webbrowser requests information from the Internet.

xymond The xymond column shows the status of the central Xymon daemon.

xymongen The xymongen column shows the status of the Xymon xymongen task. This task is responsible for updating the webpages you see when looking at the Xymon status view.

xymonnet The xymonnet column shows the status of the Xymon network-service monitoring task. This task is responsible for testing all of the network services being monitored.
