Peter,
It's Windows, so uses "\" not "/" as path separator.
Two pieces required in two config files:
section in client-local.cfg under host to be checked - can use either
file: or log: depending on whether you are just interested in metadata
or also want to inspect new content (e.g. logfile):
[myhost.mydomain]
file:C:\MyFolder\MyFile.log
log:C:\MyFolder\MyFile.log:10240
section in analysis.cfg - example will go red unless file is created in
past 10 days:
FILE C:\MyFolder\MyFile.log MTIME<864000 red
On the "files" test for the host, there should be a link for the file
test which should display the section of the client report - sample
below is based on using log: in client-local.cfg:
[logfile:C:\MyFolder\MyFile.log]
type:100000 (file)
mode:777 (not implemented)
linkcount:1
owner:0 (MYDOMAIN\myuser)
group:0 (MYDOMAIN\mygroup)
size:11100
atime:1510103234 (2017/11/08-12:07:14)
ctime:1509427381 (2017/10/31-16:23:01)
mtime:1513142264 (2017/12/13-16:17:44)
FileVersion:
FileDescription:
If that is missing, there is also a link at the foot of the page to
"Client data" - look for [file:...] or [logfile:...] headers

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.
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Xymon] Xymon mtime (on Windows client)
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:

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_ <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
