[Xymon] Xymon PowerShell Windows client

[Brandon Dale]

That works

[ifstat]
fe80::25a5:b99d:55cd:951f 2725199676 586864638
10.250.100.163 2725199676 586864638

And it displays on the trends page. Still not perfect however as in most cases you don’t want to see both graphed as the traffic is going to be exactly the same. Ideally some logic  to choose which to display would work best.

Regards,


Brandon

Hi

Thanks for the patch.

Regarding the BBwin / powershell identifier, my proposal is to default to bbwin but to allow this to be overridden using the local client XML config – does this sound reasonable?

The %<number> stuff is the zone index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Link-local_addresses_and_zone_indices) – i.e. the adaptor number.

I'm not sure how useful this is to Xymon and could probably be removed with a slight amendment to your patch like the following:


function XymonIfstat
{
    WriteLog "XymonIfstat start"
    "[ifstat]"
    [System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface]::GetAllNetworkInterfaces() | ?{($_.OperationalStatus -eq "Up") -and ($_.NetworkInterfaceType -ne "loopback")} | %{
        $ad = $_.GetIPv4Statistics() | select BytesSent, BytesReceived
        $ip = $_.GetIPProperties().UnicastAddresses | select Address
        # some interfaces have multiple IPs, so iterate over them reporting same stats
        $ip | %{ "{0} {1} {2}" -f ($_.Address.IPAddressToString –replace '%\d+'), $ad.BytesReceived,$ad.BytesSent }
    }
    WriteLog "XymonIfstat finished."
}

I have not tested this but I think it should work.

Thanks
