Description:

For a monitoring system to receive more information from an endpoint other than that it is simply accessible, help is required from the target system. For example - how else can Checkmk know how full a server's storage volume is without that system somehow providing the information? The component that provides this information is always an active piece of software - namely a monitoring agent, usually just referred to as an agent. An agent collects data relevant to monitoring from a host at specified intervals and transmits that data to the monitoring server. For servers and workstations, Checkmk provides its own agents, these are known as Checkmk agents. Checkmk agents are available for a wide variety of operating systems - from the commonplace such as Windows and Linux to exotics such as OpenVMS. The agents are passive and listen on TCP port 6556. Only on receiving a Checkmk server query will these agents be activated and respond with the required data.

07 Sep 2022 21:58:51	Stefan Eßer (se)	Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on WWW: lines in pkg-descr files. This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these pkg-descr files. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
2.0.0.p20 07 Sep 2022 21:10:59	Stefan Eßer (se)	Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
