Hello Benoit,

Thank you for your kind words !

I used your metadata.xml to create a Technique (I created the folder for 
the Technique as you did, I put the metadata.xml, and I added into git 
and commited), and then updated the Techniques in the Web Interface.
The Technique indeed did not appears, and the Rudder logs ( 
/var/log/rudder/webapp/2014_05_19.stderrout.log ) showed that there is 
an error in the descriptor.

Indeed, the TRACKINGVARIABLE refers to XYMONSERVER_REMOTE_SERVER ; which 
is non existant. Replacing it by XYMON_IP_REMOTE_SERVER solves the 
issue, and the Technique appears in the "Reference Technique Library" 
and you'll have to copy it to the "Active Techniques library" to be able 
to use it (in the Administration/Techniques pages)

Does it solve your issue ?
