I recall having purple issues when I moved from BBwin to the PSclient.  
I upped our acceptable size to 1024 and haven't had issues since.

On the problem machines, check the xymonclient.log file on the server,

    Thanks.I was on github, it’s only up to 2.34.

    So I upped my MAXMSG_DATA, and MAXMSG_STATUS to 768. It was 648.
    That cleared up the cisco ASA through devmon. But didn’t help
    here. So my xymond test for the server is now green.

    A 3^rd machine dropped to red, but came green again, about the
    time I increased the message sizes. So maybe that’s something.

    Dropping down to 2.28 didn’t help. Ports is still empty. As is who.

    I’ll give 2.37 a try.

        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?
