Windows XymonPSClient v2.42

[Beck, Zak]

Hi

v2.42 has been committed - this contains a minor change.

Download from SVN<https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/> (the documentation has been updated also).


  *   added maxloop client-local configuration item - this causes the XymonPSClient Windows service to be restarted periodically (after a set number of data collections)

This is useful for a few servers where the memory usage of the client appears to grow over time. We've found and fixed a number of causes of this but it is still occurring on some servers. There are so many variations of Windows version & patch level / .NET version & patch level / Powershell version & patch level and we don't have a great deal of control over when Powershell manages memory. For these problem servers, restarting the Windows service periodically seems to be the best solution.

Maxloop is specified in client-local, with the number of collections to restart after (maxloop:288) - by default the client collects data every 5 minutes so there are 12 collections per hour and 288 collections per day.

If you do not specify maxloop, the service will not be restarted.

Thanks to Andy Smith (abs at shadymint.com<mailto:abs at shadymint.com>) for the initial patch and testing.

Zak
