Use the name of the service that appears in the 'Description' column when you view all the running services in Task Manager.  You've got all the actual service names in your config, but BBWin looks at the 'Description' names instead.  If you use the 'BBWin Gui' you can avoid many of these sorts of config issues.

Thank you.

Greetings!

I am brand new to this list.
Also, I'm brand new to Xymon and BBWin.
However, I have worked with an old version of Big Brother for several years.

I have created a brand new Xymon environment, with Xymon 4.3.27 on Linux as my master server.

I am attempting to use BBWin 0.13 on various Windows 2008 and 2012 servers.
All is working well with one exception.

I need to monitor multiple Windows services on a given Windows server.
Even though I add all of the services to the BBWin.cfg file, only one shows up on the "svcs" webpage for that server.
Perhaps I have an error in my syntax?

I will appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Here's is an excerpt from the BBWin.cfg file on the server in question:



Many thanks!
