[Xymon] Xymon PowerShell Windows client

[zak.beck at accenture.com]

Hi David 

 

First of all, thanks for providing us with a great starting point with the Powershell client.

 

We've discussed this in-house and agree that the best long term solution would be to fix/extend the server code. Now, it's been a long time since I looked at any C code, but it looks to me (looking at commit 7594 in trunk) that do_ifstat.c needs the following addition:

 

                                  case OS_SCO_SV:

                                        if (pickdata(bol, ifstat_sco_sv_pcres[0], 0, &ifname, &rxstr, &txstr)) dmatch = 7;

                                                break;

                                                

+                               case OS_WIN32_POWERSHELL:

                                  case OS_WIN32_BBWIN:

                                                if (pickdata(bol, ifstat_bbwin_pcres[0], 0, &ifname, &rxstr, &txstr)) dmatch = 7;

                                                break;

Zak

Of course the best option is to extend the server to match the features of the client. It wouldn't take much (like one line) to add the powershell OS into the ifstat handler, running the same code as for bbwin.

I took a look at the current code in trunk today - the powershell client (however that is detected) looks like it is treated the same as BBWin at present. Server-side extension in the C code is fine for those comfortable with that, but makes it difficult for those wanting to just try out the new client against an existing server.

David.
