<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’ve been banging my head against an issue for about 3 days now. I’ve been trying to get MQ monitoring working on a BBWin client, however,
despite having written a powershell script that works perfectly as an external script when I run it from command line it doesn’t work properly when I add it to BBWin.cfg (it extracts the data from mq but one of the commands further in the script doesn’t work).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’ve just changed the output from my script so all it does is pull the data from MQ, write a header line to a file (client hostname.mqcollect
mqcollect) then append the MQ data. If I drop that file in the BBWin tmp directory, BBWin changes it before it sends it to the server however, if I drop it in /ext and I then use your script to send that file to Xymon “Xymonsend.ps1" server @ "C:\Program
Files (x86)\BBWin\ext\mq..result", it works perfectly. The server correctly sees it as client data and I can add Queues to monitor into analysis.cfg.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

and data messages.<o:p></o:p></p>
