Hi=2C Tom

You are welcome.

The hobbit windows client does use the syntax of bbdisplay per-line=2C
Mine looks like following and it work in an intranet setting.


<bbwin>
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbdisplay" value=3D"hobbit1.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbdisplay" value=3D"hobbit2.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 <!-- BB Pager Part -->
=A0=A0=A0 <!--<setting name=3D"usepager" value=3D"false" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbpager" value=3D"hobbit1.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"bbpager" value=3D"hobbit2.test.com" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"pagerlevels" value=3D"red yellow" />=20
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 -->
=A0=A0=A0=20
=A0=A0=A0 <!-- proxy connection settings -->
=A0=A0=A0 <!--
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"useproxy" value=3D"false" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"proxy" value=3D"[user:password@]host[:port]'/>
=A0=A0=A0 -->
=A0=A0=A0=20
=A0=A0=A0 <!-- bbwin mode local or central -->
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"mode" value=3D"central" />
=A0=A0=A0 <setting name=3D"configclass" value=3D"win32" />
<snip>=A0=A0=A0=20

It helps when you understand what you read.
Thanks T.J. Yang for the assistance - I is now working on the Linux serve=
rs.
I'll have to look at the BBWin fields next.

Thanks=2C

Looks like you have both BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS configured wrong=2C see fo=
llowing example.


BBDISP=3D"0.0.0.0"             # IP address of the Hobbit server
BBDISPLAYS=3D"hobbit1.test.com hobbit2.test.com" # IP of multiple Hobbit =
servers. BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".

Sorry for this entry being so long. I am trying to
include as much info as possible.


Running Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.


I am trying to send to 2 xymon servers (Primary - monitor1=2C
Secondary - monitor2) from multiple clients.


CLIENTS
BEING TESTED:


o
Linux (tomvip)


o
BBWin (sltst03)


o
Current BB clients that are in service (slcts00)


It
worked after we set the 1984 TCP port in the firewall for a short time a=
nd then
quit.


I am also having the same problem when setting the BBWin to
point to both server (it works and then it stops to one of them).


If I add both addresses to the actual BB windows client=2C they
both report the exact same icons to both servers and the BB server.


I was able to get both the BB and the BBWin clients to run
on the same Windows server.


We setup a different registry name for the BBWin client
(e.g. slcts00 vs. slcts00.csw.L-3com.com for BB).


I have the iptables firewalls
on both monitor1 and monitor2 OFF.


cd
/etc/init.d


./iptables
stop


I get PURPLE icons on monitor1 and OK icons on
monitor2: (for Linux=2C but just dashed for BBWin).

For setup up of an extension script to monitor swap space.


#-----------------------------------------------------------------------=


# TO REPORT TO MORE THAN ONE XYMON SERVER
JUST ADD MORE THAN ONE BBDISP=3D LINE


# You can use either the IP
Addresses or the URLs.


#-----------------------------------------------------------------------=


BBDISP=3D"monitor1.csw.l-3com.com"
# IP address of the 1st Hobbit server


BBDISP=3D"monitor2.csw.l-3com.com"
# IP address of the 2nd Hobbit server-if setup


BBDISPLAYS=3D"0.0.0.0"
#
IP of multiple Hobbit servers.


#
BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".


CONFIGCLASS=3D"$BBOSTYPE"
# Default configuration class
for logfiles


#
PATH setting for the client scripts


PATH=3D"/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc"


I have tried it without the BBDISPLAYS=3D""
set - still the same output.

I can ping the monitor1 server with no problems.
