Hi,

I found this Xymon client :
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/sandbox/WinPSClient/
I tried to install it the way I found logical.

1st : I fought with Windows 7 Home Premium to allow execution on
PowerShell scripts. I finally edited registry and allow it manually.
2nd : As administrator, I ran "powershell", then tried to install the
service this way :
.\xymonclient.ps1 install

But I got many errors about adding service and modifying registry (all
errors are related to permission denial).

Can D Baldwin, or anyone else informed about powershell and Xymon client
installation, help me ?
You'd need to have Administrator access to install I'm pretty sure.

Please send me the errors and I'll see what I can do. I can probably
find a Windows 7 box to test on.

Thanks, David.
Hi,

Can you give me informations about XymonPSClient.exe ?
XymonPSClient.exe is just a renamed copy of ABC_SRVANY.EXE which is just
the service runner that spawns the powershell process to run the script
- it is xymonclient.ps1 that is the actual client code.
Where logs and temporary files are stored ?
%TEMP%\xymonclient.log - contains date stamp and a copy of the last
client report - written out as a debugging aid, the script doesn't
actually need any temporary files
%TEMP%\xymonconfig.cfg - contains the config returned from the server
after each report is sent (i.e client-local.cfg section).

Note that value of %TEMP% - or in PS $env:TEMP - will depend on whether
you are running the service as specific user or just as a local service,
and on the version of Windows you are using.

David.
Hi,

I finally installed XymonPSClient in following the readme. The logfile 
is generated in c:\windows\temp. But I can't see anything sent to xymon 
server. The following command :
xymonsend "ping" "xymonserver"
reports me the xymon version running on server. But nothing else. The 
windows client is defined in bb-hosts file. All I can see is "conn", 
"info" and "trends".

Any idea ? I'm new to windows 7 (home premium), and don't understand 
everything about how it works (or how it doesn't)
