I already supposed that. There's not so much more information available from
calling ipvsadm than the one I wrote the module for. But, that's the reason I
said ipvsman can help me, to find out all the one which is available. I'm not
an expert in LVS, so I'll be probably missing something important, so that's
why I wanted to take a deep look into ipvsman :-)

I think you misunderstood me.
Our costumer already has want he wants, he paid us to do what he wanted and we
did, that's all.
The point here is trying to use your knowledge about ipvsadm to improve our
Free Software Project, just trying to make PandoraFMS to be able to keep
monitorice LVS with a new module. As I said on my previos emails, I wrote
down one, but I suppose it's not as good as it could be.
I mean, if someone wants to use PandoraFMS with a LVS+Keepalive system, it's
possible to use the module I wrote, it's actually quite good and keep the
basics or the useful information about LVS and Keepalive under control.
But on the other hand, if they satisfy the requirements of ipvsman, this
person can use the other module in order to find out all that ipvsman is able
to get.
Hope you understand more or less what I mean right now.
As a resume, a text file with the output of ipvsman could let me write another
module which let the user get much more information. Aside from the one I
already wrote.
All the best.
