Might be this <servers>xxx.xx.106.11 xxx.xx.176.11</servers> then I know you can have more than 1 server here but I don’t know the syntax just double check this, maybe try with just a single server listed here.

OK, by adding heaps of debug "WriteLog"s, I believe I've found the problem.
Version 2.04 of the script.
2474 function XymonClientConfig($cfglines) 2475 { 2476 if ($cfglines -eq $null -or $cfglines -eq "") { return } 2477 WriteLog "DEBUG - " + $cfglines
The above prints "DEBUG - " and nothing more, which tells me that it is not successfully talking to the server.
The XymonSend function worked though...

I appreciate your help with this.
The log file (c:\xymonclient.log) is being written to and I can see "Using new remote config, saving locally" however the clientconfig.cfg while the files time stamp updates, the content doesn't change. I ended up putting that section of code in a try catch block but no error was generated.
Doing the XymonSend resulted in the whole file being downloaded being downloaded from the Xymon server.
I've done the Windows equiv of chmod 777 on the client-local.cfg to run out permission problems.
It looks

It should be writing a log file when it runs c:\xymonclient.log, do you see that log file being written, does it contain any errors? And in xymon are you seeing any of the data make it to your xymon server, you should see all the data in the clientlog column.
One thing I have done in the past when having issues is use xymonsend from http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/xymonsend.... to confirm I can talk to the xymon server. You can dot source this into powershell and run something like
XymonSend "config client-local.cfg" "xymonservername" > c:\temp\client-local.cfg
At least then you can see if you can actually pull down the files on that server or not.

Hi Brandon
Thanks for the reply.
Yep, read through the doco a couple of times now trying to get this working.
- Yep, c:\program files\xymon\xymonclient_config.xml exists (and xymonclient.ps1 is in this directory) and contains:
<XymonSettings>
<servers>xxx.xx.106.11 xxx.xx.176.11</servers>
<clientlogfile>c:\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile> <clientconfigfile>c:\program files\xymon\clientconfig.cfg</clientconfigfile>
<clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn> <clientlower>1</clientlower>
<clientremotecfgexec>1</clientremotecfgexec> </XymonSettings>
- On the server (RHEL6.7, Teribithia RPM 4.3.24), /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg contains:
[powershell] clientversion:2.04:http://http.url.to.file/pub/ tssessions adreplicaton
I've changed "[os=powershell]" to just "[powershell]" and removed all but the above (for the powershell client)
- I've stopped/started the powershell client and waited for a while with no joy.
I've confirmed that the clients can manually download the file.
Not sure what I'm missing here...
Thanks

If you haven't already I would read through http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/XymonPSCli... it's pretty decent documentation.
Try double checking this stuff:
Make sure you have copied the .xml file that contains the configuration for the client to the local machine into the same directory where the xymonclient.ps1 script lives http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/HEAD/tree/sandbox/WinPSClient/xymo nclient_config.xml and that this contains a path for the client-local.cfg file and has clientremotecfgexec set to 1 (this is already done by default in the .xml file in that link)
Put your settings into the client-local.cfg file on your xymon server, I have put an example below, the valid commands are listed in XymonPSClient.doc
[powershell] eventlogswanted:*:250000:warning,critical,error ifstat:ipv4 clientversion:2.04:\\somepath\goes\here
- Wait for or manually run the PowerShell client (by restarting the XymonPSClient Service in windows), you need to do this at least twice as the first time you run it, it will get the commands you have in your client-local.cfg file on your xymon server and write them to the clientconfig.cfg (or whatever you called it in the .xml file) the second time it runs it will start reading it.
Note: make sure you read the documentation for the eventlog ignore rules, the syntax is different. You can still use the IGNORE PATTERN but the way you select which eventlogs to check has changed in the powershell client compared to bbwin.
Personally I ignore eventlogs in the analysis.cfg on the xymon server rather the in client-local.cfg as you can use regex to match on eventid + Source rather than just the description.

Brandon

Hi all
I'm noticing that the Windows Powershell Xymon client isn't being updated to reflect changes in client-local.cfg. I had thought that changes on the Xymon server to client-local.cfg would result in changes on the Windows clients. Am I wrong here, and if so, what's the correct way to get these changes propagated out?
I'm wanting the following to be pushed out to the clients:
tail -n 2 /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg [os=powershell] clientversion:2.04:http://benmon1p.scada.horizonpower.com.au/pub/
clientlocal.cfg contains:
eventlog:security ignore success ignore Success ignore "The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer" eventlog:system ignore "Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again" tssessions adreplicaton
Thanks
