XymonPsclient
list Mario Andre
Hello all, I´ve started to use the xymonPSclient. The client is doing good in a windows 2008 server but I would like to choose which "agents" to run. I don´t want to run all client features. Is there a way to setup this? My other doubt is where to setup/config the services/procs to monitor? Thanks in advance, Mario.

Hello, I´ve configured on hobbit-clients.cfg (server side) HOST,SVC and PROC and xymonPSclient configuration looks fine now. Regards, Mario.

Mario, XymonPSClient works exclusively in central mode (i.e. all tests configured on server). Note that it does not support running external scripts, so if you need that use BBWin or some other alternative - even Scheduled tasks would work if you test can send direct to the Xymon server. David.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying out the PS client again after using it 1-2 years ago and it causing too many problems. I'm hoping the impact on the clients will have been lessened since I tried it last.
I have the PS client installed and configured, but I never show any connection to the xymon server while monitoring with tcpdump. Also, I never get any files created in the temp directory. Here's the dump of the config below:
PS C:\Xymon> .\xymonclient.ps1 config
XymonPSClient config:
servers : xymon.internal.hq
loopinterval : 60
maxlogage : 30
clientlower : 1
Settable Params and values:
clientbbwinmembug=1
clientconfigfile=C:\Users\skreien\AppData\Local\Temp\xymonconfig.cfg
clientfqdn=1
clientlogfile=C:\Users\skreien\AppData\Local\Temp\xymonclient.log
clientlower=1
clientname=corpvskreien.na.lzb.hq
clientremotecfgexec=0
loopinterval=60
maxlogage=30
reportevt=1
servers= xymon.internal.hq
slowscanrate=72
wanteddisks=3
wantedlogs=Application System Security
The Xymon server is running as it is receiving messages from hundreds of other clients. This is an internal only server so iptables is off, Windows firewall is off, and I can successfully telnet from the client to the Xymon server port so there is nothing standing in the way.
The server is Redhat 5.5, client is Win7. Any ideas?

Scott, The first thing I would do if I were in your position is make sure the client machine is listed in the hosts config file on the xymon server. Then I would restart the xymond service to force it to reread the hosts config file. Next, I would load up PowerGUI (a free PowerShell editor) and open the xymon PowerShell client. Scroll down to the bottom of he file and find the lines of code that will build the string of report data that will be uploaded to the xymon server. Also find the function call that uploads the data to xymon. Set breakpoints that allow you to pause the execution of the code and make sure the report string is populated with valid data. Also step line-by-line through the uploading process and keep an eye open for any errors that might get thrown. This is as far as I can take you without actually being there and seeing what happens.

Thanks for the recommendation Greg. When I loaded the PowerGUI it would not let me run the powershell client, it keeps returning errors about "execution of scripts is disabled on this system" despite trying unrestricted, bypass, etc, and confirming with get-executionpolicy that those settings were indeed set correctly. Never did figure that one out. I did finally get it to work running it from a powershell command line. On an otherwise Idle system the powershell client was taking 30-40% of CPU for 2-3 minutes at a time. That's too heavy of an impact to justify putting any effort into it. BBWin is really showing issues with the newer versions of windows, it's getting hard to monitor windows clients anymore. Scot Kreienkamp

I don't know the PS client at all, but if you consider that the client is accessing quite a bit of system info, including event logs I presume, and considering how poorly PS performs (compared to Linux/Unix equivalents - I know, they aren't equivalent, but...), the CPU use is not surprising. We have had the same issue with BBWin (on virtual machines) - the systems became actually unresponsive for brief periods when BBWin was collecting its data - and had to add a second CPU. These montiors do collect a lot. BBWin is a dinosaur but it mostly gets the (simple monitoring) job done. We still have to look out for when it mysteriously dies on win 2012 and restart it - no fix for this as I understand.

Scot, I've had a chance to go through the PS client in a semi-thorough manor and have decided that it is not supportable in our enterprise environment. Therefore, I and one or two other developers/admins I work with will be restructuring, rewriting the PS client for internal use. Our bosses have engaged our legal teams about the possibility of releasing our version of the client back to the community. I can tell you that we have identified several inefficient methods of data collection in the existing PS client and have re-engineered them. They run much faster now. Greg DeCecco Sent from my iPhone

I really hope you guys release this or get in touch with the maintainer for the current xymonpsclient to improve it as xymon needs a better windows client. I tried the powershell client but it’s too heavy on cpu when it runs, doesn’t collect critical events from the event logs and the filtering of the eventlogs with the clientlocal.cfg file doesn’t appear to work. Like most I am using the bbwin client but considering It has no support and is not being developed it’s a bit of a problem, I also have a few servers where bbwin just seems to stop working at random. I still use the xymonsend however that comes with the psclient to send custom status messages to xymon and run them as scheduled tasks, as it works much better than the externals in bbwin.

Greg, I really hope your company will to allow you to share your improvements. It would really help the Xymon community. I have no experience with powershell or I would try it myself. In the meantime I started working on a script that will report what it can gather from SNMP polling, in case you’re not able to share your efforts. It can’t do nearly as much as a client, but it can get the basics like procs, load, uptime, disk space, etc. I will be sharing it when I finish.

BBWin is a dinosaur but it mostly gets the (simple monitoring) job done. We still have to look out for when it mysteriously dies on win 2012 and restart it - no fix for this as I understand.

Thanks for the recommendation Greg.
When I loaded the PowerGUI it would not let me run the powershell client, it keeps returning errors about "execution of scripts is disabled on this system" despite trying unrestricted, bypass, etc, and confirming with get-executionpolicy that those settings were indeed set correctly. Never did figure that one out.
I did finally get it to work running it from a powershell command line. On an otherwise Idle system the powershell client was taking 30-40% of CPU for 2-3 minutes at a time. That's too heavy of an impact to justify putting any effort into it.
BBWin is really showing issues with the newer versions of windows, it's getting hard to monitor windows clients anymore.

Scott,
The first thing I would do if I were in your position is make sure the client machine is listed in the hosts config file on the xymon server. Then I would restart the xymond service to force it to reread the hosts config file. Next, I would load up PowerGUI (a free PowerShell editor) and open the xymon PowerShell client. Scroll down to the bottom of he file and find the lines of code that will build the string of report data that will be uploaded to the xymon server. Also find the function call that uploads the data to xymon. Set breakpoints that allow you to pause the execution of the code and make sure the report string is populated with valid data. Also step line-by-line through the uploading process and keep an eye open for any errors that might get thrown.
This is as far as I can take you without actually being there and seeing what happens.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying out the PS client again after using it 1-2 years ago and it causing too many problems. I'm hoping the impact on the clients will have been lessened since I tried it last.
I have the PS client installed and configured, but I never show any connection to the xymon server while monitoring with tcpdump. Also, I never get any files created in the temp directory. Here's the dump of the config below:
PS C:\Xymon> .\xymonclient.ps1 config
XymonPSClient config:

loopinterval : 60
maxlogage : 30

The Xymon server is running as it is receiving messages from hundreds of other clients. This is an internal only server so iptables is off, Windows firewall is off, and I can successfully telnet from the client to the Xymon server port so there is nothing standing in the way.
The server is Redhat 5.5, client is Win7. Any ideas?

Hmm OK, I think I see what you mean :) The client just pulls the command line from what Windows has for the process – so if it had double quotes, we report them. We don't change this data. You can see exactly the same thing happening in Windows Task Manager if you add the Command Line column – some processes have double-quotes, some do not. I'm not saying the client should match Task Manager exactly as I don't know how Task Manager gets its data, but the content should be the same. Zak

I have cc'd it on this message. 1. Not sure what your question is :) 2. No – the script includes everything to run as a Windows service, and running as a service is the only configuration supported. The documentation includes installation instructions ( <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sourceforge.net_p_xymon_code_HEAD_tree_sandbox_WinPSClient_XymonPSClient.doc&d=DQMFaQ&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=DUnALgT8I0yFfCNaOlGY7a9YqAGWdVDLJdqXYEJoHPc&s=PBGjQkRyvW4sNTJAsn2Vk9VXat_CJuk6PZ9HXdRGbW4&e=>; https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/XymonPSClient.doc). 3. This is normal – analysis.cfg is not for configuring what is shown, it is for configuring what colours should be assigned to what values (see <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.xymon.com_help_manpages_man5_analysis.cfg.5.html&d=DQMFaQ&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=DUnALgT8I0yFfCNaOlGY7a9YqAGWdVDLJdqXYEJoHPc&s=k6CpjMd4bsFesugD9bH7UWry4QW9_ZTa_n3nYSRcvxQ&e=>; https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html) Zak From: user-4d56554dcd21@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-4d56554dcd21@xymon.invalid> [ <mailto:user-4d56554dcd21@xymon.invalid> mailto:user-4d56554dcd21@xymon.invalid] Sent: 14 October 2016 09:51 To: Beck, Zak <user-aada0fa38bf8@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-aada0fa38bf8@xymon.invalid> >

Subject: xymonPSClient Hi,
I'm new to use your xymonPSClient. Here I have three questions.
1. In the section [procs] are the CMD Line with and without quotion Marks. C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe
"C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe" "C:\Windows\system32\taskschd.msc" /s
2. Is it possible the start the script also as an schedule? It's the first time for me with powershell.
3. I have configured the disks in the analysis.cfg DISK C 85 95 DISK D 85 95 but shown in xymon are all disks. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted Label Summary(Total\Avail GB)
C 184178684 60439008 123739676 33% /FIXED/ C:\ 175,65\118,01
D 102399996 39305448 63094548 38% /FIXED/ D:\ Daten 97,66\60,17
F 143341564 40635888 102705676 28% /FIXED/ F:\ Recovery 136,70\97,95
Thanks.
