help with xymonpsclient
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.
Regards

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You are using an outdated script.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
