Getting Xymon alerts to the desktop
Hi there,
we've got wall monitors showing different xymon status pages, email and pim notification configured. But, often when it comes to failures, no one notices this instantly because of doing work and having the focus on it. For this reason, I decided to write a desktop notifier. A small icon at the system tray shows the current color of the configured xymon page, if the color changes, a balloon message pops up and virtually any command can be triggered.

Under Windows 2000 I have two errors:
error popup "Die Ordnungszahl 2821 wurde in der LIBEAY32.dll nicht gefunden."
and it can't write the configuration. The field for the configuration file is greyed out. It points to "D:cygwin/home\ha.ini" and can't be changed. I'm using Cygwin und $HOME points to the above path.

Hi,
HTTPS/SSL doesnt work under Win7. I get the following Error: Error creating SSL CTX:SSLCTXNew.
And what about BBTray-SSL? http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=33 Works fine for me.

Hi all, i find this program really useful but.... how can i set up hobbit in the way it never becomes red for 'msgs' colums which, on windows servers, always become red for not as important problems.
is it possible from server configuration or i need to set up bbwin cfg files? (i don't have centralized its config)
thank you for helping alessandro

Add "--nopropred=msgs" to the bbgen-command in your hobbitserver.cfg

I prefer to do this in BBWin.cfg - that way I can set up some messages to be red if I want to:
<msgs> <match logfile="System" type="error" delay="1h" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="System" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="Application" type="error" delay="1h" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="Application" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="Application" type="error" delay="1h" source="MyApp" alarmcolor="red" /> </msgs>
Regards,
Malcolm
-- Wouldn't the sentence "I want to put a hyphen between the words FISH and AND and AND and CHIPS in my FISH-AND-CHIPS sign" have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before "FISH," and between "FISH" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "AND," and "AND" and "and," and "and" and "CHIPS," as well as after "CHIPS?"

You need to edit the BBWin configuration so that it only becomes red on the messages that you want. We have configured it to only go yellow on errors, and don't alert at all for warnings. Then we have identified some specific messages that we have configured it to go red on.
