Hi everyone
I have setup xymon and I am trying to add a windows XP client. This client is already monitored by big brother(old version) and it has bbwin.exe version 0.12 installed.
How can I make this particular windows XP client to be also monitored by
xymon?
I have added a second line in the BBWin.cfg inside C:\Program Files\BBWin\etc\BBWin.cfg
<setting name="bbdisplay" value="IP_Address" />
but xymon does not display any information.
Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report in xymon. It is quite possible that your Windows server uses a hostname different from what you have in hosts.cfg (e.g. with/without domain name).
If the server is not listed in the ghost clients report, then the client is not sending any data to Xymon. Could be all sorts of problems - wrong configuration, network issues, firewall, ...
