I'm using the new Xymon Powershell Client (xymonclient.ps1).

I use dirsize and it works great for directories, but can't find a file 
size checker?

Thanks,

Martin.

According to the PS client documentation, "same as standard
client-local.cfg".  So define the "file:" entry the same as "dirsize",

file:/name/of/file

and then on your Xymon server in analysis.cfg, set your threshold,
something like:

FILE /name/of/file SIZE>10M yellow
FILE /name/of/file SIZE>1G red

Yes, that what I thought too.  But since moving to the xymonclient.ps1, the FILE bits in analysis.cfg file is ignored...
