[Xymon] xymon powershell client

[zak.beck at accenture.com]

Hi David

Processruntime is a test for determining if a process has been running longer 
than the set time - not what you're looking for. Most of the tests shown in 
the XymonPSClient are additional to the normal default tests (cpu, memory, 
disk etc) and so thresholds are defined in client-local.cfg.

However, for the normal default tests, thresholds are defined as normal in 
alert.cfg. This is similar to how the Linux client works and may be different 
to bbwin, I don't recall.

Hi Zak,

Thanks for the reply. I have a question about CPU load.
I get red for my SQL server, but the load is 16%.

Normally, I get red when it's overt 75%.
I see in "processruntime" how to setup the threshold, but can I use it for all 
process or I need to list each of them ?

The learning curve from bbwin to xymonPS is not easy for me ...

thanks

David

Hi David

The external directive is used in client-local.cfg, not the client-side XML 
file.

One of the key differences between bbwin and XymonPSClient is that you have 
the option to push configuration from the Xymon server via client-local.cfg, 
rather than being configured on the client side.

This is a major advantage as you can control the configuration centrally.

You could create a local client-local.cfg and switch the option off to use the 
remote (Xymon) client-local.cfg, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm looking at the xml config file, about the external script, what do I need 
to run something like "  external:everyscan:sync:fsmon.vbs "
The other value have each <test></test>

I do add "  externalscriptlocation>c:\scripts</externalscriptlocation> "

Thanks

WinPSClient works and is maintained. It can be found @ 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.code.sf.net_p_xymon_code_sandbox_WinPSClient&d=DgIGaQ&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=rnonCHukR9RISqBkM8T01IA9jPhtQ4C_tyzfBYbAuW8&s=4eKO57q0kRLxksMBDsC3eMqA7Ek2HCht7QpG4hrRvU0&e=

If you have svn installed the following command will download it for you:
"svn checkout
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.code.sf.net_p_xymon_code_sandbox_WinPSClient&d=DgIGaQ&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=rnonCHukR9RISqBkM8T01IA9jPhtQ4C_tyzfBYbAuW8&s=4eKO57q0kRLxksMBDsC3eMqA7Ek2HCht7QpG4hrRvU0&e=

Best I can tell bbwin is dead and suffering from bit rot.
