Santosh,
 
A UNIX Hobbit server can support Windows clients.  However, there are no
native windows clients, so people use either the Big Brother windows
client (available under the "better than free" license under specific
conditions) or a separately-developed Windows client called BBWin.
 
The details for setting up the Windows client vary by client.  In each
case, you have to tell the client the IP address of the Hobbit server,
so they know where to send status updates.  Each client has their own
startup method.  I am most familiar with the BB Windows client, and it
runs as a service, and there is a configuration program you can run to
set the various parameters.  Once this is set, the client runs
automatically.

1.       Yes, Windows clients running BBWin can report to a *nix server
running Hobbit.

2.       In the bbwin.cfg file look for 'bbdisplay' and 'bbpager'.

3.       It installs as a Windows service and starts
automatically...else use the Services MMC.

 
Cheers.

Thank you very much for your help and response

 
    I installed hobbit client (bbwin) on windows server and put entry in
bb-hosts file.

 
   IPADDRESS    COMPUTERNAME

 
  But I can monitor and see only conn, info, and trends (tcp conn test

  I need to monitor other services such as cpu, disk, memory..etc...  do
I have to modify or add something on client side or server side to get
this working.

 
Please help me to get this working.

To monitor cpu, disk, memory ... on your windows boxes you have to install the BBWin client on these machines.

It can be found here:

Did you read the documentation included in BBWin? It answers most of your 
questions.

Have you checked the Ghost clients ?
very often a Windows server uses a different name that what you expect, capital letters in stead of lowercase of don't use the full qualified host name.
