help with xymonpsclient
I have to edit the file so that it starts/runs on some machines. Try changing about line 2499 from if ($serviceexclds -ne '') TO: if ($serviceexclds -ne "") *Timothy L. Williams* On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 8:58 AM Beck, Zak <user-aada0fa38bf8@xymon.invalid> wrote:
Hi
You did copy nssm.exe to the same location as the client script?
You could try running it without the service ? this is often helpful with
startup issues.
You need to start a powershell prompt with Administrator permissions ? you
can usually do this by using Run (Win+R) and type in powershell.exe.
Then use cd to change directory to the location where you installed the
client ? e.g.
cd "\program files\xymon"
and then to run the client:
.\xymonclient.ps1
You?ll a load of logging, if there are any exception messages in red you
have a problem.
Cheers

Hi Timothy
Yes, the same location. I backed up the older files, deployed the new
files and started the install process.
Are there any logs I can look at that can reveal why the service fails to
start?
The client logs didn?t change during the install and start process.

Is that the same location as the older client was? Myself I use a C:\Utils
folder to avoid permission issues in Program files. Xymon XML config files
tell it where to create logs, etc. Make sure service has permission to
create files there.
here is an excerpt of my xymonclient_config.xml:
<XymonSettings>
<servers>xymon.xxxx.xxx</servers>
<clientlogfile>c:\Logs\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile>
<clientconfigfile>c:\Utils\clientconfig.cfg</clientconfigfile>
<clientlogretain>3</clientlogretain>
<clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn>
<clientlower>0</clientlower>
<clientremotecfgexec>1</clientremotecfgexec>
</XymonSettings>

Hi Timothy
Please ignore my previous post
I managed to get past the error and the client installed successfully.
When I run the start command I get the following error:
PS C:\Program Files\xymon> .\xymonclient.ps1 install
Service "XymonPSClient" installed successfully!
PS C:\Program Files\xymon> .\xymonclient.ps1 start

Chris,
You are using an outdated script. I could not find the WMI process in any
recent versions. I did go back and find it in a 2.19
Version 2.42 now contains:
WriteLog "XymonCollectInfo: CPU info"
$script:cpuinfo = [ProcessorInformation]::GetSystemInfo()
$script:numcores = $cpuinfo.NumberOfProcessors
WriteLog "Found $($script:numcores) cores"
Latest version properly shows all 24 cores on my Dell R540.

Good day
I have a windows server 2016 that I use winpsclient to collect the server
matrix and send to xymon
Problem is the server has 24 cpu?s allocated and on xymon it reports only
12 cores if you open the cpu page for the monitored host
Looks like this is the part in the xymonclient.ps1 script that collects
the cpu count:
WriteLog "XymonCollectInfo: CPU info (WMI)"
$script:cpuinfo = @(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor)
#$script:totalload = 0
$script:numcpus = $cpuinfo.Count
$script:numcores = 0
$script:numvcpus = 0
foreach ($cpu in $cpuinfo) {
#$script:totalload += $cpu.LoadPercentage
$script:numcores += $cpu.NumberOfCores
$script:numvcpus += $cpu.NumberOfLogicalProcessors
}
#$script:totalload /= $numcpus
WriteLog "Found $($script:numcpus) CPUs, total of $($script:numcores)
cores"
How do I modify the script to count the correct number of processors?
Kind regards
