========

A simple gem for Xymon

Thanks to Greg Faust

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'xymon'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install xymon

## Usage

In its current state, the gem is simple to use.  You can set two configuration variables, host and port, like this:
>> RubyXymon.config[:host] = 'localhost'
>> RubyXymon.config[:port] = '1984'
The values in the example are the defaults.
You can also set the configuration at once, using either a Hash or a String, which points to a file:
>> RubyXymon.config = { :host => 'localhost' }
>> RubyXymon.config = "/some/dir/xymon.yml"

You can send a raw Xymon message using the send method:
>> RubyXymon.send("status www.http green `date` Web OK")

For more information on Xymon, see the [![Xymon man page](http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man1/xymon.1.html#lbAF)]


##

Future improvements:
* methods based on Xymon messages.  Each message has its own syntax, e.g. RubyXymon.status(lifetime, group, hostname, testname, color, txt)
* methods to read from Xymon, e.g. "query" message
