I'm down to 26 windows servers now but I also use central configuration on these and can't say I've had any problems. We've used quite a lot of custom tests and rolling those out using the central config is so easy. Unfortunately, due to a takeover of the Company Xymon is in decline and will disappear this year.
Real shame as I've really enjoyed using it over the years. I may yet install it on my homelab but that will be all Linux.

Hi,
Just a small poll.
- Is anyone using xymon.ps1 to send data to the Xymon server?
- Who is using the Powershell client and in what kind of setup?
What are the issues and special stuff?
I monitor 800 Windows servers and have around 60 Xymon instances.
2 of the Windows servers are still running bbwin since they don't have the required Powershell installed.
The communication is mostly via https (xymoncgimsg.cgi) so it's encrypted. This is directly to the Xymon server or via internet (reverse proxy that forwards the data internally to the correct Xymon server).
All the communication is protected with username & password.
We manage everything from the Xymon server.
We wrote a script that generates the xml configuration file based on ini-files downloaded from the xymon server. This enables centralised management of the client configuration.
We also wrote a script that checks if a MSSQL server is running and if yes, it will download a MSSQL check script and runs it.
We are expanding this to Veeam.
Stef
