I've got a remote client that I'm try to get working. I am sending scripted alerts up usingthe xymon command, and the alerts are coming to the server just fine, and reporting as they should. So I know the bbd service is working, yet it still reports red.
The one anomaly that I can think of is that this particular host does not resolve over the network, so I had to put an entry in the hosts file for it to property resolve. However, when I do, the only system colums that display are bbd(red) conn, trends, and info, all green.
If I take the entry out of the hosts file, all of the normal system alerts display green... cpu, disk, msgs, etc...but the bbd service still reports red. And, unfortunatly, the ping test resolves to the wrong machine.
