Hi David


Is the name "Netbackup Client Server" listed on the svcs page in the name column?


In Windows, services have a display name and a name. The display name is what is generally shown in Control Panel -> Services.


The name is what is listed on the svcs page in the left-most column (display name in the right-most) and I believe it is the name you will need to match.


Sometimes these can be quite different, for example, the service "SMS Agent Host" (displayname) has the name CcmExec.


Cheers


Zak

I'm using Xymon 4.3.27 server and WinPSClient 2.15.

I've put the following lines in the analysis.cfg file.

SVC "Netbackup Client Service"

SVC XymonPSClient


Xymon correctly matches up the XymonPSClient on the SVCS page,

but the "Netbackup Client Server".

I've tried it with/without the quotes in the analysis.cfg file.

What am I missing?


Thanks,

Dave
