I did check that, but nothing showed up there. I also did check the config on the client and it¹s name matches the name I have in hosts.cfg. The Xymon server is pinging the Windows client just fine, so I do have the minimal data.
I just ran a tcpdump and I can see traffic when I run the XymonSend ping from the Windows client. Running as Local System as a Windows service doesn¹t seem to be sending any data, but running it directly from a PowerShell window does seem to work. I now see data. Any thoughts there?
P.S. I used to live in Alaska and worked for Internet Alaska and then GCI Internet back when I used Big Brother. Funny coincidence to hear back from somebody up there!

Hi there,
I used to run big brother, like 12 15 years ago, and now I¹m trying to setup Xymon. I¹ve got the server side working (at least for pings, telnet checks, etc.), but I can¹t seem to get XymonPSClient to work. I¹ve downloaded the files from SF, installed the service and it¹s running, but it doesn¹t seem to be sending any data to my Xymon server. I can verify connectivity with XymonSend from the Windows host, but I don¹t see any client logs, nor do I see any added checks on the web page.
Am I supposed to create a local config file on the Windows host? Or do I add something to hosts.cfg on the server?
Do you see your host on /xymon-cgi/ghostlist.sh ?
Unlike Big Brother, Xymon does not blindly accept client messages from arbitrary hosts. If you don't add an entry for your client to the hosts.cfg, your host will be listed as a "ghost" client and messages it sends will not make it to the web page.
Do things because you should, not just because you can.
