[Xymon] clientconfig.cfg not getting updated

[Colin Coe]

Hi Brandon

Thanks for the reply.

Yep, read through the doco a couple of times now trying to get this working.

1. Yep, c:\program files\xymon\xymonclient_config.xml exists (and
xymonclient.ps1 is in this directory) and contains:
---
<XymonSettings>

  <servers>xxx.xx.106.11 xxx.xx.176.11</servers>

  <clientlogfile>c:\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile>
  <clientconfigfile>c:\program files\xymon\clientconfig.cfg</clientconfigfile>

  <clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn>
  <clientlower>1</clientlower>

  <clientremotecfgexec>1</clientremotecfgexec>
</XymonSettings>
---

2. On the server (RHEL6.7, Teribithia RPM 4.3.24),
/etc/xymon/client-local.cfg contains:
---
[powershell]
clientversion:2.04:http://http.url.to.file/pub/
tssessions
adreplicaton
---

I've changed "[os=powershell]" to just "[powershell]" and removed all
but the above (for the powershell client)

3. I've stopped/started the powershell client and waited for a while
with no joy.

I've confirmed that the clients can manually download the file.

Not sure what I'm missing here...

Thanks

Make sure you have copied the .xml file that contains the configuration for the client to the local machine into the same directory where the xymonclient.ps1 script lives http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/xymonclient_config.xml and that this contains a path for the client-local.cfg file and has clientremotecfgexec set to 1 (this is already done by default in the .xml file in that link)

Wait for or manually run the PowerShell client (by restarting the XymonPSClient Service in windows), you need to do this at least twice as the first time you run it, it will get the commands you have in your client-local.cfg file on your xymon server and write them to the clientconfig.cfg (or whatever you called it in the .xml file) the second time it runs it will start reading it.

I had thought that changes on the Xymon server to client-local.cfg would result in changes on the Windows clients.  Am I wrong here, and if so, what's the correct way to get these changes propagated out?
