Hi there,

I used to run big brother, like 12 – 15 years ago, and now I’m trying to setup Xymon. I’ve got the server side working (at least for pings, telnet checks, etc.), but I can’t seem to get XymonPSClient to work. I’ve downloaded the files from SF, installed the service and it’s running, but it doesn’t seem to be sending any data to my Xymon server. I can verify connectivity with XymonSend from the Windows host, but I don’t see any client logs, nor do I see any added checks on the web page.

Am I supposed to create a local config file on the Windows host? Or do I add something to hosts.cfg on the server? The README file wasn’t super explanatory and I can’t seem to find any other instructions. Do these exist and I just missed them?

Thanks,
Jason
