[Xymon] Windows PS xymonclient

[Root, Paul T]

Nope, 2.34. That was what was on github, or where ever it was that I got it.

I’m not a developer, and don’t really get how to use git.  I poked and prodded until I got the file.

I’ll try to find 2.28 and try it on those 2 machines.

Hi Paul,

Do you mean v2.37 (that's the latest)?  If so, I had the same issue on one of our servers.  Downgrading to v2.28 fixed it, restarting the new version fixed it multiple times for just the 1st cycle, I got it working in a powershell admin prompt (running for at least an hour), then closed it and restarted the service on the new version, and it's been fine since then!  I'm not touching it now!  ;-)

Clutching at straws a little bit, but I wonder if it might be related to not much memory being available.  On the first run, it's using less memory so it works...  (We have a process hogging almost all the RAM on that server.)

BTW, the empty sections I was getting are:

[netstat]
[ports]
[ipconfig]
[route]

Kind regards,

SebA

Old version was 2.19, not 2.18.

I put it back in on one of the machines and ports and who are back to normal.

Thanks Kris,
                No, these are all 2008R2 servers.   Both ports and who worked with the 2.18 version, that I was using.

Paul.

Not sure if it's your issue or not, but I've found that 'who' is blank for Windows Home editions.  Only Pro editions or Servers shows me 'who' output.  Also, Windows Home editions don't have RDP, so it wouldn't be there anyway.  Also, I've seen these sorts of issues on my servers before, and a reboot usually fixes it.

So I only have 6 windows servers that I’m concerned with in my xymon installation.

Today, I decided to upgrade the service. So I downloaded the v2.34 ps1 file. And I copied the file in place and restarted via the services window.

This worked just fine on 4 machines.   But on 2 machines, I get the ports test gone red because I’m looking for RDP, but I’m getting no output at all.  Going into who, it is also blank.
Processes and SVCS are both fine.

So next I started the powershell as an administrator, and did the ‘Set-ExecutablePolicy RemoteSigned” and then did a .\xymonclient.ps1 install. Then a stop and start.

Still stays the same blank page.

Does anyone have any ideas?
