Configuration Examples/Guide Page

currently under development, ie: very raw docs

## You can set where sysmond logs outage messages
## to be any of the available syslog facilities
config logging local6

## 
## You can also configure it to write either a text or
## HTML status file
## (by default no file is written)

config statusfile html /home/httpd/html/sysmon.stat.html

# config statusfile [text|html] /path/to/file
##

## You can also include other configuration files
## such that you can seperate geographic regions, or
## specific machine groups into seperate files

# config include /path/to/file

## You can tell sysmon to show hosts that are up
## also in it's output (ala whatsup view log, etc)
## (by default this option is off)

# config showupalso

## You can configure sysmon to insert an Errors-to:
## headder in the e-mail message that it sends

# config errorsto e-mail-add

## You can configure sysmon to repage you if an
## outage is still the case (time is in minutes)
## (default is no repage)

config pageinterval 55

## You can configure the sensitivity of
## sysmon on a per-host basis.  Once you configure
## this, it follows all hosts down in the file,
## so just redeclare it with a different value
## (default is 4)

config numfailures 3


## You can also build network dependencies based on
## other checks, allowing you to not get pages for
## each site that goes down
nnn-2514-e1.nether.net ping nnn-2514-e1 {
 nnn-2524-e0.nether.net ping nnn-2524-e0 {

## Sysmon uses e-mail to deliver outage messages
## to you, you can use any number of e-mail to
## pager gateways, this means sysmon won't spend
## its time talking to pager software, allowing
## it to monitor the network instead.


## As of 0.80.2.2 (and newer), this is the example of
## how you can configure the various checks.
## Things in square brackets are optional

## Spawn *must* be in quotes, all others can be
## in quotes, either single or double ie: "" or ''

## /* ex: hostname tcp # desc ["spawn"] [email] [{]  */
## /* ex: hostname udp # desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname ping desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname nntp desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname smtp desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname sysmon desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname ssh desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname x500 desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname imap user pw desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname pop3 user pw desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname pop2 user pw desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
## /* ex: hostname http /file text desc ["spawn cmd"] [email] [{] */
