[Xymon] [EXCH Prio5]R: [EXCH Prio5] Monitoring Multiple Windows Services with BBWin

[Dominique Frise]

Yes, Zak's WinPSClient is definitely the way to go !?


BBWin does not report correct memory values at least for Windows Server 2012/R2.

Thanks Alessandro :)

I am the current maintainer of the client Alessandro mentions. We've added a lot since it was originally created by Henrik Storner and David Baldwin and it's used in some very large environments globally, so it is well tested.

Some advantages over BBWin:


·         It's maintained

·         It's more like the Linux client (in terms of configuration)

·         You can push configuration from the server (via client-local.cfg) rather than editing config files on clients

·         More test types, including a few Windows specific tests, built-in

There's documentation in the location Alessandro gives, plenty of people here on the list use it so please feel free to ask any questions.

Zak

Hi and welcome

If you are "restarting from scratch", you should really start using the brand new and great powershell client.
It works better, currently developed and supported by its creator Zak ;)

WinPSClient works and is maintained. It can be found @ http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xymon/code/sandbox/WinPSClient<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.code.sf.net_p_xymon_code_sandbox_WinPSClient&d=DwMFAw&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=6iyT3q16s3LxlKUHiVjRYOz5qnA5vlInFB_iLu7XzOA&s=VVS4NWiP8tex1LPZarcBjuU0_XpQaf8CtErnpEA3Xxs&e=>

Greetings!

I am brand new to this list.
Also, I'm brand new to Xymon and BBWin.
However, I have worked with an old version of Big Brother for several years.

I have created a brand new Xymon environment, with Xymon 4.3.27 on Linux as my master server.
