I've tried to run the winupd.vbs script with Xymon WinPSClient and it runs fine having added the following to client-local.cfg:
external:slowscan:async:bb://winupd.vbs|SHA256|ab7fdf4a1cdb93d39eaad60748a9872ae9f224760a0ebb5ee4a79139865a0a9a
But it is not getting reported to the server because it is getting written to root of C drive.
I can see the script is looking for where to write the output to, but it's checking the Windows registry:
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ' Check to see If used with BBWin or Big Brother client and set extPath. extPath = oShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\BBWin\tmpPath") If extPath = "" Then extPath = oShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Quest Software\BigBrother\bbnt\ExternalPath\") End If
Xymon WinPSClient doesn't write these registry keys. I use the following for backwards compatibility / consistency in it's xymonclient_config.xml, but the script doesn't know that:
<externaldatalocation>C:\BB\BBNT\Logs</externaldatalocation>
How should this (and potentially other) scripts be altered to work with the WinPSClient? I guess adding the registry key value is one solution, but is there anything less dirty?
Kind regards,
