[Xymon] Xymon mtime (on Windows client)

Mon Dec 18 22:52:48 CET 2017

Hi David
I tried using xymonPSClient but get then same results.

I think the problem is somewhere in the  analysis file.
The line I am using is

FILE    /bginfo/Junk.txt RED mtime<600

I have also tried

FILE    c:/bginfo/Junk.txt RED mtime<600

without success.

Peter,

Which client are you running? BBWin or Powershell?

I was just dealing with this issue - I have some files that should be 
generated each day and so wanted to check MTIME did not get too old. 
Problem was, when the file was generated it appeared to be really old, and 
took about 11 hours before the test worked - coincidentally what the local 
time zone offset is. Turns out BBWin generates epoch time (seconds since 
1/1/1970) with timezone offset applied.

So I switched to using Powershell client on those hosts and problem 
solved.

Windows client XymonPSClient has been updated to v2.27. You can download 
it here: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/

David.
Hi 
 I am attempting (without much luck) to get the mtime working. I want an 
alert to change to red if the file is older than 10 minutes. The file 
resides on a Windows 2012r2 box. 
The details are 
Server Ubuntu 16.04.3.LTS 
Xymon:        xymon-4.3.28 
Client-local.cfg 
[MGTPW0D01W] 
FILE:C:/Bginfo/Junk.txt 
Analysis.cfg 
HOST=MGTPW0D01W 
        FILE    /Bginfo/junk.txt mtime<300 RED 

XYMON 
The Xymon display page shows the file is older than 10 minutes but does 
not update the display. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Cheers 
Peter
