I think the goal is to configure thresholds from the client like we do with bbwin, not necessarily the alerts.
If it's not currently an option, is anyone working on making it possible?

Hi
You cannot manage alerts locally from the Powershell client, it is simply not supported.
Sorry!

Subject: [External] [Xymon] Windows PowerShell Client
I’m trying to configure alerts to be managed locally on the Windows PowerShell clients instead of controlling them from the Xymon server. I want to have the clients manage their own thresholds in this situation.
I have my xymonclient_config.xml set to use local settings and reference a localclient.cfg file that has all the values in it. Even with it setup this way, it isn’t reporting on the correct thresholds. I can have my CPU at 101 and still receive alerts when it hits 6%. Am I missing something since the localclient.cfg comes defined with Linux values? I.e. 6.5 9.5 instead of 65% 95%? I know it’s designed to managed all from Xymon but I’d like the option to manage locally on some machines.
Xymonclient_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<XymonSettings>
<servers>xymon.example.com</servers>
<clientlogfile>c:\Xymon\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile>
<clientconfigfile>c:\xymon\localclient.cfg</clientconfigfile>
<clientname>Server.Name</clientname>
<clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn>
<clientlower>0</clientlower>
<clientremotecfgexec>0</clientremotecfgexec>
</XymonSettings>
Localclient.cfg
DEFAULT
These are the built-in defaults.
UP 30
LOAD 95.0 100.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
Thanks for the help!

The obvious question is what problem are you trying to solve? You can set thresholds and much more on the xymon machine. It can be done either per host or per class (group).
Setting things on the client machine does not scale. Especially if you have groups of machines that are basically the same. I have several classes of machines defined. That way, I install the PS client, set the servers, clientname and class and you are done. From there everything is controlled on the Xymon display.
HTH,
