All -
I've installed a prototype of the PowerShell client, XymonPSClient.ps1 (2.1.5), and it is successfully reporting data back to the server. However, I'm trying to eliminate all Windows event log data from being sent to the server (i.e. suppressing the "msgs" column for that client on the Xymon display).
According to the documentation for the xymonclient_config.xml file, the "reportevt" XML tag value controls this behavior: "reportevt ... Whether to scan and report event log ... 0 = no 1 = yes". However, even after adding the necessary tags and restarting the service on the Windows client, the "msgs" column keeps coming back.
Here's the config file:
<XymonSettings>
<servers>xxx.xxx.txaccess.net</servers>
<clientlogfile>C:\Users\millsda\Desktop\Xymon PS Client 2.1.5\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile>
<clientconfigfile>C:\Users\millsda\Desktop\Xymon PS Client 2.1.5\clientconfig.cfg</clientconfigfile>
<clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn>
<clientlower>1</clientlower>
<reportevt>0</reportevt>
</XymonSettings>
Here's the output of the currently active configuration on the client:
PS C:\Users\millsda\Desktop\Xymon PS Client 2.1.5> .\xymonclient.ps1 config XymonPSClient config:
