From: iain To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Need Help Configuring BBWin on DMZ
BBwin is a client, not a server so you are probably on a loser here....
Based on your response, so is the "client" that is compiled, but "it" can be setup in this manner, although I've never done so, yet...
Well - you did not compile the BBWin client did you/
No, I did not, I merely downloaded the msi.
You need the hobbit / xymon server package and a linux / unix server. If you wanna test this I guess you could setup a VM on your windows machine
I recall seeing this described in a thread sometime ago, but for *nix clients, are you saying that it will just not work at all on a windows client? What about using the BB windows agent?
Again - BB windows agent is a client and not a server
Yes, no kidding, but I am not trying to make it one neither...
AFAIU you are trying to setup a system whereby you have a DMZ, and clients within the DMZ can send their status to a server on the DMZ which then forwards onto the main server OR you want a server within the DMZ to be able to pull the data from your clients and send them to the server. Is this correct? Which are you trying to achieve?
My windows machine exists on a DMZ which has no access to my xymon server. My xymon server however has access to the DMZ located windows client. I wish to have the windows DMZ client collect its own data and hold it for the Xymon server, which in turn will get it with a datafetch. My restrictions are based on rules from our security team and are not negotiable. I do not wish to create a VM running the Xymon server, although doing that will require the bb-proxy, which I assume is what you were referring to as proxy?
I think you need to look at the proxy system here
Can you please describe what in the proxy I should be looking at/for?
First things first :)
