Installation steps

Installation of the client is straightforward:

1. Review xymonclient_config.xml and at the least, set the Xymon server address.
2. Copy the following files to a directory on the target server (e.g. c:\program files\xymon)
a. Xymonclient.ps1
b. Nssm.exe
c. Xymonclient_config.xml

You may need to "unblock" execution of the downloaded scripts and files depending on your Windows settings. To do this, right-click each file and select Properties. If you see the option to unblock, please click the Unblock button.

Either run "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" from an administrative PowerShell prompt or start powershell using "powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned" from Start->Run


3. Run the following command to install the service from a PowerShell prompt (may need to be an administrative prompt):
a. .\xymonclient.ps1 install
4. Either review and start the service in Windows services control panel or run:
a. .\xymonclient.ps1 start
