Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the BBWin Project...What's,uh...What's wrongwith it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead,that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead project when I see one, and I'mlooking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable project, theBBWin, idn'it, ay? Beautiful coding!
Mr. Praline: The coding don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!With apologies to Monty Python :-)
I have no idea how things hang together in Wintendo-land, nor am I able to code in anything that could be useful, so I am going to have to sit on the sidelines and cheer for those who do attempt to revive this one.
Cheers Vernon

There is someone doing a Windows client (XymonWin?) that just started a short while back, I can't recall the details.
As you can tell I'm not too much into Windows servers so I am sorry I can't give you many more details.

Beginning to sound like BBWin might be in need of an upgrade or refit. Is the project still active? If so, who is the maintainer? If not, where do we go from here?

Vernon,
Hi all
Hoping for a little help on this one. Got a stream of errors coming through from some wintendo clients running bb-win. See example below. We would like to ignore some errors related to certain messages. I was under the impression that the following in client-local.cfg would do it.
[win32] eventlog:Security ignore Success eventlog:System ignore Information *eventlog:Application ignore Citrix System Monitoring ignore MetaFrameEvents*
Appears to not be the case. How do we configure the client-local.cfg to ignore instances of the first and last error, but not instances like the middle one below? (The messages are for illustrative purposes only - their relative importance and why I should or shouldn't ignore them is not under discussion)
Regards Vernon
I grappled with the same problem for ages. My situation was complicated by the fact I have success and failure auditing also enabled, which means the client messages could be huge, and even bumping up MAXMSG_CLIENT to around 15MB was still not enough. I never worked out how to filter a single message out.
My eventual solution was to disable msgs reporting entirely in BBWIN (comment out the BBWIN.CFG line loading the msgs DLL), and set up event log forwarding using SNARE ( http://www.intersectalliance.com/projects/SnareWindows/index.html ) to rsyslog on the logging/monitoring server (running xymon/hobbit) and then write a test to filter the forwarded logs. This also allowed me to filter on severity, error code, etc. so was a better solution due to some of the bizarre errors Windows generates which can be safely ignored (browser service, etc). Been meaning to contribute it and write it up but haven't had time yet.
Note also that the event log reporting in BBWIN doesn't work at all well for Windows 2008/Vista/7 due to the new event log system. The old BBNT client doesn't cut it either.
David.
