Xymon does not display any information about windows client
Hi everyone
I have setup xymon and I am trying to add a windows XP client. This client is already monitored by big brother(old version) and it has bbwin.exe version 0.12 installed.
How can I make this particular windows XP client to be also monitored by xymon?
I have added a second line in the BBWin.cfg inside C:\Program Files\BBWin\etc\BBWin.cfg
<setting name="bbdisplay" value="IP_Address" />
but xymon does not display any information.
Could someone please let me know if I am missing something?
Many thanks Yanni

delayred and delayyellow do not appear in the info column status page (svcstatus.sh?HOST=<hostname>&SERVICE=info). I would expect them to appear perhaps under Other tags, or perhaps at the top of alerting before the table of alerts. This is on 4.3.7.
192.168.4.56 Db1 # delayred=special:10 delayyellow=special:5
Or does delayred and delayyellow not apply to custom tests? (If so, the docs do not mention this.)
Kind regards,
SebA

Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report in xymon. It is quite possible that your Windows server uses a hostname different from what you have in hosts.cfg (e.g. with/without domain name).
If the server is not listed in the ghost clients report, then the client is not sending any data to Xymon. Could be all sorts of problems - wrong configuration, network issues, firewall, ...
