Dumping the config or running the xymond_client in test mode doesn't reveal anything unusual..

Thanks for your input.

Try running "xymond_client --dump-config" to dump the config and verify that it matches what you think it should.

Also try running xymond_client in test mode.  I've never done this for a Windows server, so not sure how helpful this will be for SVC tests.

Cheers

Hi,

I have installed Xymon 4.3.17 on CentOS 6, using bbwin .13 on the Win hosts in central configuration mode.

I'm seeing an odd issue when monitoring Windows services- the service status color matches the state of the service (red=service down; green=service up), but the text displayed does not.

For example, service1 is running, and shown as green as it should be. But the status text displayed is 'service1 is stopped/disabled - want started/any'. I've confirmed the service is running, and the data sent by the client (via client data link on xymon page) shows it as such.

What I have in analysis.cfg is simply:

HOST=host1
            SVC service1 STATUS=started

I've seen some reports with previous xymon versions having similar problems when monitoring Windows hosts in central mode. Is there a way around this besides from switching to local mode?

Thanks,
Rob.
