Xymon mtime (on Windows client)

Hi David
I tried using xymonPSClient but get then same results.

I think the problem is somewhere in the  analysis file.
The line I am using is

FILE    /bginfo/Junk.txt RED mtime<600

I have also tried

FILE    c:/bginfo/Junk.txt RED mtime<600

without success.

Peter,

Which client are you running? BBWin or Powershell?

I was just dealing with this issue - I have some files that should be generated each day and so wanted to check MTIME did not get too old. Problem was, when the file was generated it appeared to be really old, and took about 11 hours before the test worked - coincidentally what the local time zone offset is. Turns out BBWin generates epoch time (seconds since 1/1/1970) with timezone offset applied.

So I switched to using Powershell client on those hosts and problem solved.

Windows client XymonPSClient has been updated to v2.27. You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/

David.
Hi  I am attempting (without much luck) to get the mtime working. I want an alert to change to red if the file is older than 10 minutes. The file resides on a Windows 2012r2 box. The details are Server Ubuntu 16.04.3.LTS Xymon:        xymon-4.3.28 Client-local.cfg [MGTPW0D01W] FILE:C:/Bginfo/Junk.txt Analysis.cfg HOST=MGTPW0D01W         FILE    /Bginfo/junk.txt mtime<300 RED           
XYMON The Xymon display page shows the file is older than 10 minutes but does not update the display. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Peter
