Great, thanks!
For now, this is what I added to xymonclient.ps1 in the function XymonClientConfig($cfglines) [and have a corresponding entry "netstat_listening" in clientconfig.cfg] -or $l -match '^netstat_listening' ` and in the function XymonPorts if ($script:clientlocalcfg_entries.ContainsKey('netstat_listening')) { "[ports]" netstat -an | findstr LISTENING} Else{ "[ports]" netstat -an } WriteLog "XymonPorts finished." }
Also, we recently had a CRAC unit go down in a remote location. On the server team, we were able to see temperature warnings on the Linux boxes, but Windows is silent on this. Any thoughts on how to monitor salient temperatures in Windows? (CPU, mainboard, fans, etc?)

Hi
Yes, sounds very feasible and worthwhile. I’ll look to add this in the next week or two.
Thanks

We are in the process of migrating 300+ servers from BBWin client to powershell client. All works well, except our anti-virus servers create a huge data file that gets truncated, causing FILES, SVCS, WHO to go Purple. We have set the MAXMSG_STATUS AND MAXMSG_CLIENT Xymon server parameters to 1024, but the AV servers still blow past that. The PORTS function reports all of the TCP ESTABLISHED and TIME_WAIT connections for every AV client on servers and desktops. We only need to know that the AV server is proper LISTENING. Using Slimmode and excluding the Ports section doesn't work as we do need to know the listening ports.
I have modified the Xymonclient.ps1 script as follows to limit the data in the function XymonPorts
"[ports]" netstat -an
to:
"[ports]" netstat -an | findstr LISTENINGRather than manually editing each new version of script released, I would rather have a client-local.cfg entry that would turn this on per group similar to what you have for IFSTAT. Less desirable would be a statement in Xymonclient_config.XML, or as a mode in Slimmode.
Does this sound like a doable enhancement?
