Thank you, Kris! I'm could have sworn I read somewhere the exact opposite - "Service Name" instead of "Display name" or "Description"! Many of my services (third-party software) have no "Description". So, I tried "Display name" instead. This appears to work for me.

And thanks for pointing me to the BBWin GUI. I'll check it out.

Again, many thanks!

Kris Springer <kspringer at innovateteam.com> 04/06/17 6:43 PM >>> Use the name of the service that appears in the 'Description' column when you view all the running services in Task Manager. You've got all the actual service names in your config, but BBWin looks at the 'Description' names instead. If you use the 'BBWin Gui' you can avoid many of these sorts of config issues. https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwingui/

   Thank you.

                      Greetings!
   
   
   I         am brand new to this list.
   Also,         I'm brand new to Xymon and BBWin.
   However,         I have worked with an old version of Big Brother for several         years.
   
   
   I         have created a brand new Xymon environment, with Xymon 4.3.27 on         Linux as my master server.
   
   
   I         am attempting to use BBWin 0.13 on various Windows 2008 and 2012         servers.
   All         is working well with one exception.
   
   
   I         need to monitor multiple Windows services on a given Windows         server.
   Even         though I add all of the services to the BBWin.cfg file, only one         shows up on the "svcs" webpage for that server.
   Perhaps         I have an error in my syntax?
   
   
   I         will appreciate any help anyone can provide.
   
   
   Here's         is an excerpt from the BBWin.cfg file on the server in question:
   
   
            <svcs>
      
      <setting             name="alwaysgreen" value="false" />
      
      <setting             name="autoreset" value="false" />
      <setting             name="alarmcolor" value="yellow" />
      <!--             The line bellow show you svcs rules. If the "Automatic             Updates" service is stopped,  it will be automatically             restarted and a red status will be sent
      until             the service get it's correct status 
      <setting             name="Automatic Updates" value="started" autoreset="true"             alarmcolor="red" />
      -->

Thanks Alessandro :)

I am the current maintainer of the client Alessandro mentions. We've added a lot since it was originally created by Henrik Storner and David Baldwin and it's used in some very large environments globally, so it is well tested.

Some advantages over BBWin:

· It's maintained

· It's more like the Linux client (in terms of configuration)

· You can push configuration from the server (via client-local.cfg) rather than editing config files on clients

· More test types, including a few Windows specific tests, built-in

There's documentation in the location Alessandro gives, plenty of people here on the list use it so please feel free to ask any questions.

Hi and welcome

If you are "restarting from scratch", you should really start using the brand new and great powershell client. It works better, currently developed and supported by its creator Zak ;)

Some cut&past for instructions. You will find an how to included in the downloaded files

WinPSClient works and is maintained. It can be found @ http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xymon/code/sandbox/WinPSClient<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.code.sf.net_p_xymon_code_sandbox_WinPSClient&d=DwMFAw&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=6iyT3q16s3LxlKUHiVjRYOz5qnA5vlInFB_iLu7XzOA&s=VVS4NWiP8tex1LPZarcBjuU0_XpQaf8CtErnpEA3Xxs&e=>

If you have svn installed the following command will download it for you:

"svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xymon/code/sandbox/WinPSClient<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__svn.code.sf.net_p_xymon_code_sandbox_WinPSClient&d=DwMFAw&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=S-aLwpx-PHBTBMIG_c2JczRC0SfuZCmsiH9Iams25FI&m=6iyT3q16s3LxlKUHiVjRYOz5qnA5vlInFB_iLu7XzOA&s=VVS4NWiP8tex1LPZarcBjuU0_XpQaf8CtErnpEA3Xxs&e=> ."

Hi,

Is there any official documentation about what Windows Server-versions WinPSClient supports?
