Hi Stef

That would be me, in a very lightweight sense of the word maintainer ?.

I haven't updated the client for ages, although I do have some minor patches compared to sourceforge running in my environments.

Share me some diffs and I'll try and figure out how we merge them.

Thanks

Zak Beck Accenture

Hi,

Who is the current maintainer of the Windows powershell client? It lives in the sandbox tree of the of the xymon project, but I think it deserves some more credits :)

I patched the client quit a lot and want to share the patches. Who can I contact fot this?

Hi,

I cleaned up the code, see the attached patch.

Some bugs: Remove `r from message ?-> This corrupts the procs check

Use [text.encoding]::ascii.getbytes to encode the data stream ?-> On some server sometimes the original code gives 0 bytes. I never found out in the orignal datastream what was the reason. The option xymonlogarchive was used to keep the logfiles and the collected data but we never found a difference.

Allow to download a file when serverUrl is used via the bb: syntax

Other changes: Option ping to test connection to the xymon server ?- Test the new version with the 'ping' option to make sure it works

Environment variable YMONCLIENTCFG can be used to point to an alternatieve xymonclient_config.xml configuration file ?-> We use this in combination with the 'ping' option to test a new XML configuration file with an external script

Download configuration files from xymon server to etc directory ?- Add config option to the clientconfigfile to download configuration files to the etc directory ?- Add function XymonManageConfigs to download configuration files to the etc directory ?-> We use this to distribute configuration file for external scripts to the servers. One of the scripts is used to generate a new xml configuration file.

Allow to send something via the 'usermsg' channel ?-> We use this to send inventory data collected by an external script to the xymon server. Of course, you need a scripts on the xymon server to process this data.

Allow multiple serverUrl that will receiving the same data, separated with space ?- Same serverHttpUsername/serverHttpPassword ! ?-> We have used this to migrate to a new xymon server so both receive all data.

Disable server certification validation when sending data to a https server ?-> This was needed for a Xymon server with https with self signed certificates. Maybe do this via an option?

Add xymonlogarchive to the clientconfigfile to copy the logfiles and send data to an alternative directory ?? - Usefull for debugging ?? - Also some changes in XymonLogSend

Add slowscanrate option to the clientconfigfile to overrule the default slowscanrate setting of 72

Duplicate bb to xymon in the clientconfigfile

Add scan|<number> to the clientconfigfile so you can run an external script every <number> run ?- Also some changes in XymonExecuteExternals

Make slowscanrate a random number during startup
