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.
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, ...
