<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Today I have uploaded a new version of the Xymon Powershell client to SVN (in sandbox/WinPSClient). We (Accenture) are very pleased to be contributing these changes to the
open source community. I've been working on this now for around 8 months on and off and hopefully the changes made will be of benefit to everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Whilst making changes, we have focussed mainly on making it work, improving reliability and most importantly improving performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">In most cases, on our 64 bit OS virtual machines, a data collection now takes around 5 seconds. On heavily loaded (CPU load or event log load) servers, the script is now
considerably faster than originally. Key to this has been reducing the amount of WMI usage as this was a major culprit.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">We have also implemented some new features, largely based on our in-house requirements but hopefully useful to others:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
