bbwin woes
list Mark Felder
Is there any known/documented way to make bbwin client behave more like the xymon client? I really just want to be able to control disk/cpu/mem threshholds on the server as well as see the entire process list and choose which processes to monitor. It's quite annoying having to login to Windows servers to make changes to their configuration.

Oh hey, I get to answer my own question! I had not kept up with bbwin development and didn't know the "central" mode was added. Whoever did that -- thanks!

You also need to remove the tests (<cpu>, <disk>, etc) from the BBwin.cfg as they take preference to the centralised settings.

Correct, but we've been using a mostly stock config. So far it has been easy enough to log into servers, view config for any changes to disk and service monitoring, and then replacing the config file entirely with a prepared one using "central".
