Guys
I thought some of you might find this useful. It's an implementation of the "xymon" client program written in 6 lines of Powershell, It lacks the ability to wait for data returned by the Xymon server, but it's fine for sending status and data messages.
param($xymsrv=$(throw "ERROR: Specify xymon server and message lines"))
$socket=(new-object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient($xymsrv,1984))
$writer=new-object System.IO.StreamWriter $socket.GetStream()
if ($args[0] -eq "@") { foreach ($line in Get-Content $args[1]) {$writer.Write($line+"n")} } else { foreach ($line in $args) {$writer.Write($line+"n")} }
$writer.close()
You could run it like this:
C:\>powershell -file xymon-powershell.ps1 %XYMSRV% "status %COMPUTERNAME%.mytest green %DATE% %TIME%" "The status of 'mytest' is 'satisfactory' at %DATE% %TIME%" "" "here's the last line"
or if you have the status/data message in a file:
C:\>powershell -file xymon-powershell.ps1 %XYMSRV% @ statusfile.txt
