Hi all

I'm testing the new PowerShell client.

I'm seeing Windows nodes with loads of above 5% being reported as high
use such as the below.

I've got the following in /etc/xymon/analysis.cfg
---
CLASS=powershell
    LOAD=80 90
---

and in /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg
---
[powershell]
eventlog:security
ignore success
ignore Success
ignore "The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer"
eventlog:system
ignore "Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again"
adreplicationcheck

Any ideas how I can get the thresholds in the analysis file to be honored?
