7. Client/Server interface imond
7.2.10. Error, Syslog and Firewall Pages
Those pages are only visible if entries are present in the respective logs and imonc is in admin
mode.
An the errors page all imonc/imond-specific errors are noted. If problems occur reviewing
this page may help.
On the Syslog page all incoming Syslog messages are shown except for those of the firewall.
They have an own page Firewall. In order for this to work the varable OPT_SYSLOGD in con-
fig/base.txt has to be set to ‘yes’. The variable SYSLOGD_DEST must contain the clients IP (i.e.
SYSLOGD_DEST=’@100.100.100.100 – of course with the real IP of the clients). Syslog message
and according date, time, IP of the Senders and priority will be shown.
Firewall messages are displayed on an own page Firewall to be better readable. OPT_KLOGD
must be set to ‘yes’ in config/base.txt in addition.
7.2.11. News Page
If the option is activated in imonc’s config news from the fli4l homepage are shown here
directly in imonc. Via http protocol the URL http://www.fli4l.de/german/news.xml will
be loaded. The five newest opt-packages are shown here as well. For this the URL
http://www.fli4l.de/german/imonc_opt_show.php will be queried. In the status bar the head-
ers of the news will be shown alternatingly.
7.3. Unix/Linux-Client imonc
There are 2 different versions for Linux: a text-based imonc) and a graphical user interface
version(ximonc). The source of ximonc can be found under the directory src. The documen-
tation for ximonc will only be available in the 1.5-Final-Version. An experienced Linux-User
should have no problems with the source.
Let’s limit to the text-based version. This is a curses based program, thus it has no graphical
interface. The source lies under the directory unix.
Installation:
cd unix
make install
imonc will be installed to /usr/local/bin.
Command line parameters:
imonc hostname
hostname can be the name or the IP address of the fli4l router, e.g.
imonc fli4l
imonc shows the following:
• Date/Time of the fli4l router
• Momentarily configured route
