Step missing to get XymonPSClient working?

I did check that, but nothing showed up there. I also did check the config
on the client and it¹s name matches the name I have in hosts.cfg. The
Xymon server is pinging the Windows client just fine, so I do have the
minimal data.

I just ran a tcpdump and I can see traffic when I run the XymonSend ping
from the Windows client. Running as Local System as a Windows service
doesn¹t seem to be sending any data, but running it directly from a
PowerShell window does seem to work. I now see data. Any thoughts there?

P.S. I used to live in Alaska and worked for Internet Alaska and then GCI
Internet back when I used Big Brother. Funny coincidence to hear back from
somebody up there!

Hi there,

I used to run big brother, like 12 ­ 15 years ago, and now I¹m trying
to setup Xymon. I¹ve got the server side working (at least for pings,
telnet checks, etc.), but I can¹t seem to get XymonPSClient to work.
I¹ve downloaded the files from SF, installed the service and it¹s
running, but it doesn¹t seem to be sending any data to my Xymon server.
I can verify connectivity with XymonSend from the Windows host, but I
don¹t 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?

Do you see your host on /xymon-cgi/ghostlist.sh  ?

Unlike Big Brother, Xymon does not blindly accept client messages from
arbitrary hosts. If you don't add an entry for your client to the
hosts.cfg, your host will be listed as a "ghost" client and messages it
sends will not make it to the web page.
