error with BBWin_0.12.msi

Hi Jurgen No firewall on, before I change "local" to "central" everything work fine since longtime. Like I say, few server have this error, other are good, no matter is they are 64 or 32 bits. I need to still use this client on windows, cause for now, PowerShell client don't handle external script. And I don't want to use task scheduler to do external script. I like the way bbwin work, so ... Still work around the problem to see what's wrong.

4.3.3 nongreen host.cfg DESCR tag issue
by icepickjazz＠gmail.com 26 May '11

26 May '11

I've been testing the 4.3.3 version and stepped through an upgrade from version 4.2.3. I have noticed a problem with the nongreen page displaying both the name and the DESCR tag from the hosts.cfg. In the old version only the host name was displayed (no descr tag). The descr tag is only showing up on the nongreen page. It doesn't show up on any other pages. Any thoughts on how to make the nongreen page not show the DESCR tag from the hosts.cfg? Thanks,

upgrading from xymon 4.2.3 to 4.3.3

I was looking over the documentation and I had a quick question. The version of Xymon I'm using still uses the old file names from BB. Does the "Upgrading from Big Brother to Xymon" document apply to the version of Xymon I'm using? Any differences I should be aware of?

Devmon on Xymon 4.3.2 - if_load and temp issue for all devmon hosts
by willowbrookmagic＠hotmail.com 24 May '11

24 May '11

I hope someone can help me. I set up a test server and installed xymon 4.3.2 and i didn't feel confident with upgrading so i moved all my content and custom configruations into the new test xymon 4.3.2 i got everything looking good on the test server and moved it over to production. i changed my httpd.conf devmon.cfg (BBHOST= /xymon/server/etc/host.cfg)and copied over the /data directory to the never version and started xymon and devmon. i got everything working but having issues with specific devmon graphs. cpu memory and tcp are graphing but no if_load or temp for any host using devmon is graphing. all other graphing is working. This is the last thing from holding me up from moving this into production. Nick

xymon4.3.2 and vmware
by jkokino＠gmail.com 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi I think it would be great that Henrik or someone else puts up a blank virtual machine with snmp support preconfigured of the latest stable Xymon e.g. xymon4.3.2 and vmware. It can be CentOS, Fedora or anyother Linux based OS. This will help to make Xymon available to the general public and much easier to work with. I know there is Debian one available. Its too old 4.2.0. The troubling part is upgrading/updating Xymon to the latest, also risky for non-advanced users. For Henrik or others is a piece of cake. Henrik you can do it on a regular basis if you find this worth. Just my 2c Thanks
