windows powershell client

David,

Still get the error in powershell, but xymon receive info anyway.
So, I see we can get xymonconfig.cfg in %temp% folder. This file is
empty. How can I set some feature like bbwin.
I would like to monitor some services and other external scripts like
bbwin does.

As I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, the PowerShell does not run
external scripts at present, so you will need to use BBWin or set up
Scheduled tasks if you want to use the PowerShell client for xymon
client reports.

I think I can piece together what you tried to do from the exception
reports below.

PS C:\xymon> . .\xymonsend.ps1
PS C:\xymon> xymonsend "ping" "xymonhost"

Is your xymon server called "xymonhost"? If not, that is the problem.
Substitute its real name.

I've updated the README.txt and the code to better handle the case of
using a name which does not lookup to an IP address.

PS C:\Xymon> XymonSend ping xymonhost
XymonSend : No IP addresses could be found for host: xymonhost
At line:1 char:10
+ XymonSend <<<<  ping xymonhost
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Write-Error],
WriteErrorException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId :
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,XymonSend

David.

Thx.

David Raymond

Tom,

What's the status of the powershell windows client?  I have a few 
windows servers that need to be monitored and thought I'd try the 
power shell client instead of BBWin, if the shell client is ready.

The following is still the state of play:
http://lists.xymon.com/oldarchive/2011/01/msg00244.html

On the only Windows host where I need to run external scripts, I am
running XymonPSClient as the client and BBWin with everything else
turned off except externals to run those scripts.

David.
