I'm having trouble getting BBWin to run on my Windows 7-SP1 64-bit machine. The bbwincmd command works fine from the command line, so I'm guessing that there may be a problem with my BBWin.cfg. Could someone take a look at it, and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Here's what happens when I run bbwincmd:
C:\Program Files (x86)\BBWin\bin>bbwincmd BasementServer status BigShot cpu green Test bbdisplay defined to : BasementServer port defined to : 1984 hostname defined to: BigShot Sending status ...
Sending to BasementServer : status BigShot.cpu green Test
And I see on my Xymon server that the test appears. However, nothing reaches the server from my bbwin service. In fact, I've watched port 1984 using Wireshark, and I see the traffic when I run bbwincmd, but nothing from the bbwin service. Bbwin logs that it starts up, and logs "The agent externals generated this event message : No externals have been specified", and sends nothing to the Xymon server.
Here's my BBWin.cfg file. I modified it from the default to set the bbdisplay and hostname. Later, I added the loglevel. I've modes of central and local, and see the same results.
