We use mon to monitor the qmail queue size (qmailqsize) on several email servers. To centralize the monitoring result, we setup mon on all email servers to send montrap (as alert) to a centralized mon server. However, the status of the qmailqsize on the centralized mon server remains "uncheck". Could we set this status to "success" when startup or when no failed trap is received?
I think you're better off sending success traps (upalerts), in a 'heartbeat' mode, with a trap timeout configured. Otherwise its entirely possible that mon on the remote system could either fail or be unable to send traps, and you wouldn't notice.
Also, there are quite a few bugs with traps in the current Mon release. You may want to use the mon devel snapshot. (But I don't know if they're all fixed there either. Jim hasn't fully incorporated all the patches I've sent him, as far as I know.)
