[Xymon] Windows Xymon PS Client 1.98

[Gavin Stone-Tolcher]

And one final one for the list.
If this is the final output of "disk" for the new powershell client, then it would be nice if the Xymon server module

xymond/rrd/do_disk.c

could be trained to graph the mountpoints in addition to the driveletter. I am running server v4.3.18 and the mountpoint is not being RRD collected or graphed.
I should point out that the BBWIN collected mountpoints were also not being graphed either, so it that sense it is the same situation.

I see we have a couple of windows client types handled in that module, DT_NT and DT_BBWIN.
Both of these clients are getting on a bit and it appears that the powershell client might be the way to go for the future with Windows platforms, so maybe DT_PS is needed?

For reference, an example chunk from client message from my test system is:

[disk]
Filesystem         1K-blocks         Used        Avail  Capacity  Mounted                   Label                Summary(Total\Avail GB)
C                  104753148     41374564     63378584        39% C:\                       SYSTEM               99.90\60.44
MountPointTest     104753148     41374564     63378584        39% C:\MountPointTest\        SYSTEM               99.90\60.44

The module looks to be treating this as BB_NT output as we begin with "Filesystem" like the BB_NT client.

I think this is the codethat might be causing an issue:

if ( (dsystype == DT_NT) && (*(columns[5])) && (strchr(columns[0], '/')) )

where BBNT client would have something like "/FIXED/C" being evaluated?

I attach a previous email to the list where the same issue was seen. In that case modifying the poweshell client to display something like "/FIXED/F:\ORAARCHIVE" for a mountpoint caused the mountpoints to be collected/graphed.

If someone could look into this for a future update it would be appreciated, as my windows guys would like to see graphs for their mountpoints.

Hi

I've just committed version 1.98 to the project repository - http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/.

This update has a number of fixes and additions thanks to the suggestions and reaction to the previous patches, thanks to Gavin, Brandon and others for your feedback.

List of changes:


*         Mount points are now shown in the disk section, similar to BBWin. The drive label has been added and the column alignment adjusted to suit drives up to 999TB.

*         The eventlogswanted directive now supports wildcards in the list of event logs field. So you can now return all event logs like this:

eventlogswanted:*:250000


*         The eventlogswanted directive also supports an optional fourth field to specify which levels of event should be returned - critical, error, warning, information, verbose. By default, all are returned. Values in the field should be comma-delimited, e.g.:

eventlogswanted:*:250000:error,warning,critical


*         The dirsize directive now works for files as well as directories.

Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate your feedback.

Regards
Zak
