Zak (or anyone else who knows),

If I want to configure a Windows server running the XymonPSClient using the clientconfig.cfg file, where can I find documentation on how to configure each of the checks?

In particular, I'd like to run checks on services (SVCS), processes (PROCS) and files (FILES).

If you have examples, I would appreciate seeing them.

I understand I have to configure alerting on the Xymon server. If you feel strongly about client configuration belonging on the Xymon server, feel free to point me at documentation for that too.

Thanks.

Ray Storer

Hi

XymonPSClient uses the standard configuration, so have you tried the Xymon help pages: https://www.xymon.com/help/xymon-config.html

In particular: https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html

Zak

There is a Word document in the repository with the PS client (
https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/).  Here
is an example from my clientconfig.cfg (on server, local or remote
downloaded from Xymon server) that I use for File and SVC restart.
Monitoring of services running and the handling of the Files (present,
absent, etc.) are in the Analysis file.

file:c:\utils\Xymonclient_config.xml
servicecheck:SAVService:10
servicecheck:SAVAdminService:10
servicecheck:Sophos Agent:5
