[Xymon] Windows Powershell client v2.00

Absolutely agree, the reason we added it to the client was frustration with the current alert capabilities.

 

What we really wanted was more granularity for alerts – the workaround enables this, but it's far from ideal.

The big new feature is repeattest – this may be useful if you have multiple teams looking after different aspects of your servers, for example, a DBA team responsible for databases and an Ops team responsible for everything else. Repeattest allows you to create duplicates of your test data that appear as extra entries on the dashboard and therefore you can create separate alert configurations. It also allows you to trigger red or yellow statuses depending on the data in the duplicated test result.


This is an interesting feature.  I think it would be useful for this to be implemented server-side so that any OS can benefit from it, and also to reduce duplicated messages.  Although it will take a bit more work to implement and fully test it server-side.
