Hello,
As a happy user of Xymon for linux, z/VSE and z/VM monitoring since years, I now entered into the world of Windows.
We have a win server with a big amount of auto-generated services, which should be centrally monitored by Xymon server. The problem is that the Display names of the services are human readable, like INV_ABC, but the Service names are generated and horrible, like D070AF2E-E343-40B9-9F23-45B8572309F4.
I am running bbwin in centralized mode and Xymon server version 4.3.12, and I cannot find any other way to start to monitor these services than putting
HOST=SRV123
SVC D070AF2E-E343-40B9-9F23-45B8572309F4 startup=automatic status=started
in analysis.cfg instead of
HOST=SRV123
SVC INV_ABC startup=automatic status=started
which I would like to use.
Is there a way (a setting in the bbwin client or xymon server) to use Display names instead of Service names when referring to the services in analysis.cfg?
To clarify, the data the client sends now already includes the display name:
[svcs]
Name StartupType Status DisplayName
D070AF2E-E343-40B9-9F23-45B8572309F4 automatic started INV_ABC
...
BR,
Juha Vuori
