XyMon client for Windows - XyWin.Net

Hi,

I am starting to develop a new client for Windows systems. 
While BBwin is a very solid product, but my wishlist is LARGE and my knowledge of C++ and Windows DLL development is very limited.  However, I am VERY comfortable with the .NET framework.  So, to save (my) time, I am writing a "from the ground up" new XyMon client for Windows.  Written in C# on .NET v2.0 framework.  (V2.0 is standard Win 2003 and up.)

It's still in the early design stages, but the XyWin.Net core framework is firming up quickly.  The core framework will make building separate "plug-ins" very easy.

I welcome all input (and help).  It is at SourceForge.

Thanks.

Fred,

Is there something wrong with the existing Xymon Client for Windows?

Rich,

That is bbwin.  Not the xymon client.

It was stated "While BBwin is a very solid product, but my wishlist is

I'll find a Windows box to monitor here shortly and give it a whirl.

Hi Rich,

No. BBwin does everything it says it can do. 
It is just that I want it to do a lot more.  To name a few items.

    * Instead of initiating a connection to the XyMon server to deliver
      its messages, I want it to also wait for XyMon to initiate a
      connection and then accept the Windows client messages.  This is
      required with clients in a company DMZ.
    * Support SSL encryption of client messages to XyMon
    * Become a "proxy" to accept BBwin client messages from nearby
      clients and then forward them to the XyMon server (either
      immediately or wait for XyMon connection)
    * Support sending to different combinations of servers
    * Support alternate message formats (Standard BB text, XML, web
      services, etc)
    * etc

Take a look at my "about" page at the http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/xywinnet/about-xywin-net/

Thanks.

Josh,

XyWin.Net is now a big collection of a lot of code pieces.  I am getting 
closer to having something to install, but not yet.  I would like to 
have an installable alpha within the month.

The code is out there and is up on SVN.  I am new at SVN so I haven't 
set up any branches or trunk yet.  I need to do that REAL soon.

Thanks.

I can wait a month.  I don't use Windows much so it can be down
between now and then.

Please do share with the list when you have an installer =)

Fred, Congrats on taking up this challenge!!!

Will the new app still allow non-.net apps to place files within the tmp
folder to be sent to the xymon server? Also will you have the same
functionality as bbwincmd.exe? 

Bbwin has a VERY low footprint on the server.. Do you expect xywin.net
to be as small?

Good luck!!

Sounds like an excellent idea. I've hacked on BBWin code and it has some quite serious bugs and badly written code - especially in central configuration mode (all due respect - it does the job superbly most of the time). Using C# is definitely the right way to go with modern versions of Windows as it makes it a lot easier to link into the OS (e.g. CIM).

Hi There

We have a plug in for bbwin that we created called SQLMon. It allows you
to configure sql scripts to run for testing anything on MSSQL. I use it
to monitor my servers. We want to release it as open source. Maybe you
would like the code to incorporate into your system. It is written in
C#. With this plug-in we monitor replication status, performance
counter, sql transactions per second and so. If you can write a query
and define green, yellow or red status in a simple xml file you can
monitor it with this. While being used for bbwin it can help you lay out
the foundation for SQL specific tests.

Would you be interested?

Regards
neil

Hi There

We have a plug in for bbwin that we created called SQLMon. It allows you to configure sql scripts to run for testing anything on MSSQL. I use it to monitor my servers. We want to release it as open source. Maybe you would like the code to incorporate into your system. It is written in C#. With this plug-in we monitor replication status, performance counter, sql transactions per second and so. If you can write a query and define green, yellow or red status in a simple xml file you can monitor it with this. While being used for bbwin it can help you lay out the foundation for SQL specific tests.

Would you be interested?

neil

Hi Neil,

Very interested.  Take a look at the code section under the JBoss 
directory in the XyWin.Net project.  The example, JBossJvmStats inherits 
from the XyWinModule class.  The main method, ModuleRun, is called by 
XyWin control.  The XyWinTask reference passed to the module has a 
method which you use to pass any status messages for delivery to the 
server.  The plugin just create messages and leave it to XyWin main to 
worry about formatting and delivery.  The ConsoleTest directory has a 
simple minded example I use for testing.

We should probably take this conversation offline or to the maillist I 
setup for XyWin.Net discussions since this is not directly XyMon 
development related.

Thanks.

Hi Neil,

Very interested.  Take a look at the code section under the JBoss
directory in the XyWin.Net project.  The example, JBossJvmStats inherits
from the XyWinModule class.  The main method, ModuleRun, is called by
XyWin control.  The XyWinTask reference passed to the module has a
method which you use to pass any status messages for delivery to the
server.  The plugin just create messages and leave it to XyWin main to
worry about formatting and delivery.  The ConsoleTest directory has a
simple minded example I use for testing.

We should probably take this conversation offline or to the maillist I
setup for XyWin.Net discussions since this is not directly XyMon
development related.

Thanks.

Fred

Hi There

We have a plug in for bbwin that we created called SQLMon. It allows
you to configure sql scripts to run for testing anything on MSSQL. I
use it to monitor my servers. We want to release it as open source.
Maybe you would like the code to incorporate into your system. It is
written in C#. With this plug-in we monitor replication status,
performance counter, sql transactions per second and so. If you can
write a query and define green, yellow or red status in a simple xml
file you can monitor it with this. While being used for bbwin it can
help you lay out the foundation for SQL specific tests.

Would you be interested?

Hi Rich,

No. BBwin does everything it says it can do.

It is just that I want it to do a lot more.  To name a few items.

     * Instead of initiating a connection to the XyMon server to

deliver

       its messages, I want it to also wait for XyMon to initiate a
       connection and then accept the Windows client messages.  This
is
       required with clients in a company DMZ.
     * Support SSL encryption of client messages to XyMon
     * Become a "proxy" to accept BBwin client messages from nearby
       clients and then forward them to the XyMon server (either
       immediately or wait for XyMon connection)
     * Support sending to different combinations of servers
     * Support alternate message formats (Standard BB text, XML, web
       services, etc)
     * etc

Take a look at my "about" page at the
http://sourceforge.net/apps/wordpress/xywinnet/about-xywin-net/

Bless you for taking this on, Fred.  It will offer a more capable
alternative to BBWin, which can still be used where it meets
requirements and a .Net footprint is not desirable.

On your "about" page, where you say "formally Hobbit", I think you
meant to write "formerly".

Quite confident it's Freenode, yes.

No idea who set it up.

There's already a #xymon IRC channel that is grossly underutilized.
