Hi all

Should I be using BBWin or the PowerShell client on my Windows nodes
(mix of Windows XP, 7, 2008R2)?

Thanks

I use both (and I built up the PS client from Henrik's first cut). The
PS client is a bit heavyweight, especially on memory footprint - it
would probably be a good idea to restart it everyday to reduce that.
Windows doesn't really support PS scripts as a service properly,
although it seems robust enough (doesn't fall over on any of my
systems). It also doesn't handle external scripts.

The latest BBWin 0.13 still doesn't do ifstat reporting properly. At
least I've worked out how to run Powershell scripts as externals in
BBWin which means the best of both worlds. It would be even better if
BBWin had an easy way to call out to a script to generate part of the
client report like the latest Xymon client does.

Hi , Is there a way to change the icon mouse over text ? The current deisplay has “Test:Color:Time” and needs to be chaged to “Error” in case of Red etc .

I did find the following in the archive

I fear that the only solution would be to add the hostname to the htmlalttag, line 474 of bbdisplay/pagegen.c

You'll then have to recompile using make clean make and copy the resulting binary on your server.

However I was unable to find pagegen.c in the installed folders .Has this file changed in the later releases or are there alternate ways of doing the same change .

Thanks for all your help ,

Regards,
Venky

That looks about right.  You might want to just rename the old xymongen
instead of overwriting it.  That way you can revert back if the new edition
doesn't work properly.
