<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The PowerShell client is much better than BBWin, it’s actively maintained and has a whole bunch of extra functionality and it’s written
in PowerShell. On top of that it can replicate mostly everything BBwin already did with the exception of local mode. It even has its own update mechanism built into it and does hash checking on external scripts. It really is worth switching to.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">For slimmode, I don’t actually use it but I do recall seeing something on this list about a bug in the current implementation, I’m
not sure if that has been patched yet. You might be misunderstanding what slimmode does, it basically just stops certain sections of information being sent to the server so you can send smaller messages that contain less data. I assume this is for performance
/ security reasons. This is the information you will see in the clientlog column for the host in xymon. Or in you xymon powershell directory in the xymon-lastcollect.txt if you have that turned on. It is also the data that the server parses for each test so
if you omit a bunch of services using slimmode then you won’t be able to report on their status.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There is a windows client called BBwin:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/</a><br>
<br>
and bbwingui, also on sourceforge, for configuring bbwin.<br>
<br>
I think there is also a client written in powershell. powershell irratates me so I don't use it<br>
