Found it - the bbwin client came with an effective local client config
entry for the disks:
<setting name="default" warnlevel="85%" paniclevel="95%" />
This overrides the settings in analysis.cfg on the server. If I just
remove that entry, everything in analysis applies.
many thanks all for helping.

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.

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:
