Yes, I was hoping to use the built-in TCP tests and their TCP Connection times.
Any idea on how to do that?

Are you sure that's necessary? I think that might be configurable built-in with the TCP tests.

I'm trying to figure out how to get "bad performance" alerts.
Here is my bb-hosts entry:
192.168.10.121 mbox1 # imaps
I want to get an alert when the response time goes above 100 ms.
Any thougths?

Doesn't look possible. The builtin TCP tests use bbtest-net - see 'man bbtest-net':
GENERAL OPTIONS --timeout=N Determines the timeout (in seconds) for each service that is tested. For TCP tests (those from BBNETSVCS), if the connection to the service does not succeed within N seconds, the service is reported as being down. For HTTP tests, this is the absolute limit for the entire request to the webserver (the time needed to connect to the server, plus the time it takes the server to respond to the request). Default: 10 seconds

Hi,
I found this Xymon client : http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/sandbox/WinPSClient/ I tried to install it the way I found logical.
1st : I fought with Windows 7 Home Premium to allow execution on PowerShell scripts. I finally edited registry and allow it manually. 2nd : As administrator, I ran "powershell", then tried to install the service this way : .\xymonclient.ps1 install
But I got many errors about adding service and modifying registry (all errors are related to permission denial).
Can D Baldwin, or anyone else informed about powershell and Xymon client installation, help me ?

You'd need to have Administrator access to install I'm pretty sure.
Please send me the errors and I'll see what I can do. I can probably find a Windows 7 box to test on.
Thanks, David.

After a reboot, the script works fine and the service is up & running. Thank you for your job

Hi,
Can you give me informations about XymonPSClient.exe ? XymonPSClient.exe is just a renamed copy of ABC_SRVANY.EXE which is just the service runner that spawns the powershell process to run the script
Note that value of %TEMP% - or in PS $env:TEMP - will depend on whether you are running the service as specific user or just as a local service, and on the version of Windows you are using.

Hi,
I finally installed XymonPSClient in following the readme. The logfile is generated in c:\windows\temp. But I can't see anything sent to xymon server. The following command : xymonsend "ping" "xymonserver" reports me the xymon version running on server. But nothing else. The windows client is defined in bb-hosts file. All I can see is "conn", "info" and "trends".
Any idea ? I'm new to windows 7 (home premium), and don't understand everything about how it works (or how it doesn't)

Xymon mailing list Xymon at xymon.com http://lists.xymon.com/mailman/listinfo/xymon
In the file xymonclient.log the section at the top has the config values
- most of these can be overridden in the registry as per README
Two values to check: clientname is the name that is being reported to the server in the client report - it needs to match an entry in hosts.cfg/bb-hosts (probably exact case match) - check "Ghost Clients" report. servers is the address or list of addresses the client should be reporting to.
The fact that you can "ping" the xymon server means you're pretty close to it working.

Thank you for your support .It seems that HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node is an hidden registry key, as I can't see it, nor create it with that name (error tells me that another key has the same name). In log file, everything was OK, but nothing was sent to Xymon servers. I set it manually with ".\xymonclient.ps1 set servers "1.2.3.4 2.3.4.5"". And it's OK ! I can see reports on the xymon servers. I had to change a few things in xymonclient.ps1 file, to get "usual" format for disk space (used/total instead of total\used). Everything is OK now ! Is there any docs on using/creating plugins for your windows client ?
