Mr Big - Windows client for Xymon
list Mark Felder
Has anyone seen this before? It's a C-based client for Windows. https://mrbig.365-24.se/ https://github.com/xymon-mrbig/MrBig Mark

I think it would be great if there were an official Xymon client for Windows.
For what it's worth, I have been using the PowerShell based client for a long time with all my Windows systems.
Installation is really easy. I downloaded a copy and edited xymonclient_config.xml to have my server's FQDN. When I set up a new Windows system, I just copy that folder to C:\Program Files\Xymon, open the PowerShell prompt and type:
c:cd '\program files\xymon'unblock-file xymonclient.ps1.\xymonclient.ps1 install.\xymonclient.ps1 startexit
I usually don't need the "c:" or "unblock-file xymonclient.ps1" commands at all.

From my point of view, the Powershell client is the official Xymon Windows client.
I think I heard of this C-based client code for Windows some years ago, but I really believe Powershell is the way to go in a Windows environment - so much easier to adapt and enhance than C code. And for the client you really want something that can be tweaked by non-programmers. That was one of the reasons that the client code shipping with Xymon is mostly scripts (shell, Perl, Python ...)

Henrik

Hi, this was written by my colleague Ulric Ericsson and used to monitor thousands of windows servers with central configuration management. It was created in the early 2000 when we were running BigBrother and there were no really good windows client alternatives. It was still if full use when I left the company around 2014. br Johan Björklund

Hi, I have used xymon for many years. We are still using it on our unix/linux environment on >800 servers We used also to have some of the important Windows server in xymon We use BBwin that is a reasonable good and simple to install. I have also tested a pure powershell script that worked OK.

Hi, I made some major changes and enhancements to the windows client. I posted this some time ago in this list. Changes are published on a private github repository, but I will clean these up and publish them on a public repository. Stef
