Hi,
It's rather high on my TODO list to make xymoncgimsg.cgi a part of the default installation for xymon. I already have made most of the changes on my local xymon branch for this. Including wget and curl version for the *nix clients to enable https for communication.

Yes, I use the Windows ps1 client a lot, also for many client networks. We use the SSL version when possible, but it would be great if that was the default and was baked into Xymon as the official Windows client. https://krisspringer.com/posts/xymon-ps-client-over-ssl.php

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.
