[Xymon] Clientlog in UTF8

[zak.beck at accenture.com]

Hi Luboš

I think you’re talking about the ASCII encoding in function XymonSend.

I don’t know the reason for choosing ASCII encoding, that code was written before I was involved.

If the server can accept UTF-8 on all platforms then there is no reason why it should not be changed – maybe one of the server developers (Japheth ?) could comment?

Subject: [Xymon] Clientlog in UTF8

Hi,
We use powershell client on computers with localized windows (Czech language). EventLog messages are in Czech with non ASCII characters. I modified the winpsclient to send clientlog in UTF8. Messages are displayed on xymon web correctly, I was able filter messages, e.g.

LOG eventlog_System "%Zpracování zásad skupiny selhalo" COLOR=red

Exists some pitfalls, why not send clientlog in UTF8, but convert into US-ASCII?
