<div dir="ltr"><div>Jason</div><div><br></div>The Xymon server has support for receiving client messages over CGI, which means whatever protocols and (optionally) authentication your webserver can support. This is achieved via the xymoncgimsg(8) CGI binary, which accepts a client message in POST data, and returns the Xymon server response in the body of the HTTP(s) response.<div><br></div><div>The xymoncgimsg CGI is not enabled by default, but just requires copying (or symlinking, if permitted by your web server configuration) to a cgi-bin directory.</div><div><br><div>I'm no Powershell programmer, but it might be possible for someone to enhance the Powershell client to have an option to submit client messages via web services, apparently using "Invoke-WebRequest". If I had time, I'd have a crack at it myself.</div><div><br></div><div>This technique has been used with curl in the past: <a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.hobbit/27772">http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.hobbit/27772</a>. One can get curl for Windows.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(13,19,255)">The client does not support SSL/TLS directly. There was talk on the dev mailing list in 2015 of the server having TLS support built-in,
I don’t know how far this got, whether it made it into a stable release and how easy it would be to adapt the Powershell client to use TLS. I think there are probably still questions over authentication (i.e. the message can be encrypted, but how do you determine
it is from who it says it is from). Henrik would know.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I was just wondering if anyone had any step-by-step instructions or advise about sending the client data from the powershell client over a secure connection, we have a few external servers that we
would like to start having their disk usage etc. sent back but would prefer if this was done over SSL or similar.</span>
