I am using the prtgshell powershell module with http://blogs.lockstepgroup.com/2013/09/monitoring-citrix-licensing.html to monitor citrix license usage. I am getting Error reading response: Invalid XML (XML Parser mismatch: Wanted </channel>, got </result>) after setting it up. the script runs correctly and outputs to the file correctly when setting PRTG to output.

The following is the contents of the results file:

Hi,
just to update this post with a solution, if you are getting above error most likely a line break is added to the output because the Powershell session has only a buffer width of 80. To resolve this open your script in an editor and before the first Write-Host statement add the following line:

$host.UI.RawUI.BufferSize = new-object System.Management.Automation.Host.Size(150,5000)

This should fix your issue. Best regards

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. The XML-Output does of course look correct. Was this created by running the script on commandline?

best regards.

Hi,

The output was created by the PRTG sensor using the save output to file option.

Thanks, Andreas
