Re: Detecting of a host is being logged by pmlogger

I have been watching the avahi stuff. However, I needed this 
functionality in September 2013, and have a working kludge (in 
production) where the client announces itself to the pmlogger server via 
a simple script sitting behind xinetd on the pmlogger server.
This is done via puppet, and I currently have a semaphore file to 
prevent the client announcing itself more than once. Trying to use  
pminfo -ft pmcd.client.whoami was a way to try and improve this.
Once 3.9.0 is out, I will work on using pmmgr.
