# xymond\_distribute(8)

xymond worker module for distributing commands

## NAME

xymond\_distribute - xymond worker module for distributing commands

## SYNOPSIS

**xymond\_channel --channel=enadis xymond\_distribute \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

xymond\_distribute is a worker module for xymond, and as such it is normally run via the *[xymond\_channel(8)](/xymond_channel/8.md)* program. It is used if you have multiple Xymon servers running in a master/slave configuration. xymond\_distribute runs on the master server and receives "drop", "rename", "enable" and "disable" messages from xymond.  xymond\_distribute then forwards these to the other Xymon servers as standard  xymon messages. So if a user on the master Xymon server disables a red status,  xymond\_distribute will forward this to the other Xymon servers so that the  change happens everywhere.

NOTE: xymond\_distribute does not check to see if a message has already been forwarded, so you can easily create forwarding loops.

## OPTIONS

- \--peer=HOSTNAME

  The peer that messages are forwarded to. If you have multiple peers, repeat this option.

- \--debug

  Enable debugging output.
