BBWin 0.12 and disk use

Which version of BBWin could you not get to work?

I've got BBWin 0.12 and 0.13 clients all running in centralised mode and
all installed to C:\program files\BBWin with no issues other that the
File modified time monitor which seems to be down to the way Windows
sees UTC time anyway. (For anyone who was wondering if I'd found a fix
for that yet, we've written an external script to do it and that works
perfectly)

Phil, 

Can you post up your whole analysis.cfg file? (I know there might be
good reasons you can't). 

I suspect it must be some other entry in your analysis.cfg that is
getting picked up first. Try moving the lines for this host to the top
of the file and see if that solves the problem. It's not really a fix
but it will at least help you see if there could be something else that
is currently matching before this.

Regards,
Neil.

I know that I was never able to get the windows client to work
properly with the
"centralized configuration", and instead opted to just modify the
bbwin.cfg file in the
\etc directory of the installation. I also ensured that when I
installed the bbwin client,
I put it in a folder with no spaces (c:\bbwin instead of c:\program
files\bbwin), as
that seemed to cause some issues with the logging function or the
externals (I can't
remember which now).

Xymon
will pick up the first entry in analysis.cfg

Ah, that make sense, but the default entry is at the bottom, sigh, but
it isn't using
those either - it goes yellow on 85%, not 90:

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97


This default 90% disk entry works with linux clients but not with the
windows one.

thanks.

Ok, this might be really obvious but sometimes that can be why you
can't
see it.

Are your default entries the last thing in analysis.cfg?

I seem to remember hitting this problem myself and it was because

Xymon

will pick up the first entry in analysis.cfg that matches even if
that
is the default.

Probably something easy, but I just can't get the analysis.cfg
entry
to
work:

HOST=whatever.orix.com.au
        DISK C  95 98
        DISK G  97 98

I've tried various disk labels, quotes, etc, instead of the drive
letter -  no difference - Xymon still alarms on the default disk
use
levels. I have no problem with the linux disk thresholds. Here is
what
is reported on the host's disk web page:
