client-local.cfg an powershell client
Hello, I am a little bit confused right now, maybe you guys can help me. Right now, I have a bunch of windows Servers, which report their status via Zacks Powershell client to my Xymon Server [4.3.17]. Since the netstat Graphs are not working properly, I tweaked the code a little bit, and changed the collector OS from powershell to bbwin:
was (HOST.OS CLASS): [collector:] client myserver.powershell powershell XymonPS
is (HOST.OS CLASS): [collector:] client myserver.bbwin powershell XymonPS
This worked, and now I can see the netstat trends.
In order to get all the client logfiles, I added a new section in the client.local.cfg: [os=bbwin] eventlogswanted:*:10240:Warning,Critical,Error clientversion:2.05:http://xymonserver/psclient/ eventlog:system:10240
Unfortunately the rules won't get applied. I also tried it without the OS= prefix, which doesn't work either. Regarding the manpage it should work: https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/client-local.cfg.5.html
Do you have any Idea, whats wrong here ?
P.s.: If anyone is interested in the netstat Code, I can post it here.
Kind regards,
Lukas Kohl

Hi,
I believe the latest version of Powershell sends the correct info by default, and 4.3.19 fixed the incorrect netstat processing from PS (https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7609/); I'd suggest updating on both.
Have you tried using [class=powershell] in client-local.cfg? I'm curious if that would actually work, there. If not, can you flip xymond into debug mode (send a -USR2 signal to toggle) during a client submission from this box? That should let us see what record it's sending back.
Regards, -jc

Hello Japheth, thanks for your suggestion with Xymon 4.3.19, I will give it a try.
class=powershell works as expected, the client almost immediately got the new config. This is the snippet from Debug mode: 2015-11-17 14:38:41 -> do_message/1 (78555 bytes): client myserver.bbwin powershell XymonPS
Is it possible, that the [powershell] entry had precedence over [os=bbwin] ?
[os=bbwin] eventlogswanted:*:10240:Warning,Critical,Error clientversion:2.05:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/ eventlog:system:10240
[sub] clientversion:2.04:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/
[powershell] eventlogswanted:*:10240:Warning,Critical,Error clientversion:2.04:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/ eventlog:system:10240
Maybe Xymon searched for a class named powershell, and found the last entry (if class has precedence over os).
I did some research, and it seems like os= is generally not working. [os=powershell] had also no effect.
P.s.: --merge-clientlocal is not activated

Hello again, sorry, os= is working for powershell. I was a little bit confused by the new class=powershell entry ;-)
I prefixed now all custom entries in my client-local.cfg, and things work as expected:
[class=sub] clientversion:2.04:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/
[os=bbwin] eventlogswanted:*:10240:Warning,Critical,Error clientversion:2.05:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/ eventlog:system:10240
[os=powershell] eventlogswanted:*:10240:Warning,Critical,Error clientversion:2.04:http://zyklop.qv.de/psclient/ eventlog:system:10240
Without this prefixes, things can very messy and complicated....
Thank you !

I prefixed now all custom entries in my client-local.cfg, and things work as expected:
Yes, taken from the man page, https://xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/client-local.cfg.5.html:
By default, xymond will look for a matching entry by matching the client hostname, classname or operating system name against the section expressions. Hostname matches are used first, then classname matches, then OS matches. The first match found is the one that is returned to the client.
So the OS match was being overridden by the class match. OS is seen more as a backstop default, while "CLASS:" gets to be administrator-defined into a grouping that might be more appropriate for your org.
