Is there a definitive guide for how to configure BBWin central mode, in particular the msgs part? I'd like to know what can be specified, how to configure multiple ignore entries, how to configure host-specific sections and the win32 section, and what limitations currently exist with the 0.13 version.
The documentation link on the BBWin page is invalid as it refers to a man page that predates the full name change. The man pages currently found in Xymon and the various things that I can find with Google seem to all contradict each other as far as how to actually configure analysis.cfg and other server-side config files.
Also, if any of the newer windows client replacements are mature enough to actually use (and have decent documentation), please point me in that direction. BBWin development seems to have completely stalled, and last time I went looking for a replacement, none of the other projects I found were even ready for alpha, much less production.
I have a lot of Windows clients in BBWin local mode, but I am doing my central mode experimentation on Server 2008 R2, which is only available in a 64-bit flavor.
Thanks, Shawn
