Hi tj,
I've been using BBwin for several years now with great success.
In your BBWin deployment experience, Does BBWin really can do client
binary update like the Unix client does ?
I am going to deploy BBwin at my work place, any advice is welcome.
I am also hoping to create my own BBWin012.msi so that I can include
the customization I need inside .msi file.

I would like to help the xymon community but I've 2 major problems with
the participation to BBwin or Mr. Big.
First of all I'm not a developer so I cannot write C programs.
As a system engineer I can however write some scripting languages (Perl,
vbscript,..) to provide some customized monitors.
The latest year I had some issues with the mechanism of the BBwin or Mr.
Big agents.
We are monitoring some servers through a L2L VPN connection. In these
link we are working with a dynamic NAT protocol so we do not know to
which IP address the messages should be send.
Our company does not allow connections being initiated from the outside
network. (Which is the way BBwin works)
No experience in this area, others may be able to help.
Another problem is the big bandwidth problem. On windows 2008 servers,
the port check produces much info making the messages too big.
we should be able to configure BBWin to send in offending messages to
xymon server.
Due to this problem I can't use BBWin nor Mr. Big.
I found however a monitoring agent that perfectly matches with my
previous mentioned remarks. (the Nagios check_nt agent that listens to
the xymon server through a perl script.)
So I would like to share my experience on this agent but unfortunately
my lack of development skills don't permit me to participate in tha
BBWin or Mr. Big agents.
Despites the many man hours already put in the existing agenBB-win and
Mr. Big, I have to continue with the Nagios agent (But I'm working on
the nagios check_nrpe pligin that replaces the nagios check_nt plugin)
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Bart Gillis

Hello,
I am developing another windows client based on the nagios nrpe
plugin.
The script is based on the checkwin monitor that you can find in
http://code.google.com/p/checkwin/
Tests are going well but I have a problem with the graphs that are
generated
for the disks, cpu and memory values.
Can anyone help me with the format that I have to send to the xymon
server?
I don't know on which parameters the rrd files are generated for these
particular tests.
Hi, Bart
Would you consider participate the maintenance of BBWin or Mr. Big ?
These two projects have many man-hours put in already and they are
currently stale/dead at the moment.
We need people to maintain or enhance xymon windows client.

Thanks in advance
