Hi There

I am monitoring mostly windows servers with BBwin. I would suggest that you read the help file included with the program. This would be located in a folder like this C:\Program Files\BBWin\doc by default but if you installed it somewhere else then go look there.

"The begin with BBwin" section of the CHM file explains what you need to do.

Basically there are a couple of steps after installing to get it to work with XyMon

Server Side Step

1. Edit the bb-hosts file under the /xymon/server/etc directory and add the new windows machine in there e.g. 172.27.1.1 XPserv1

Client Side Step

1. Edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BBWin\hostname key on the WindowsXP box and the name as you configured it in Xymon's hosts file i.e. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BBWin\hostname XPserv1

2. Edit the BBwin.cfg file in the etc directory of your BBwin installation Change this setting to your xymon server IP Address <setting name="bbdisplay" value="1.1.1.1:1984" />

3. Start BBwin and give it 5 or so minutes and you will see data flowing to the xymon server.

If you need more help let me know. I can also help you with developing your own custom plug-ins for xymon.

Cheers Neil

Not really. We have very little servers so I guess I wont have that problem. However at our current rate of expansion I might run into that in the next 6 months.

Have you had any issues with the system/security logs flooding xymon?
