Not sure to be honest, I never had to change anything in the registry I just updated the XML file to include:
    <setting name="hostname" value="fully.qualified.domain.name<http://fully.qualified.domain.name>" />
But I'm also running in central mode, so not sure if that makes any difference?

Subject: BBwin Setup issue

Hi All ,  I have installed BBWin on my host (server that needs monitoring that is running on 64 bit windows 2008) and have setup  the BBWin.cfg as follows

bbdisplay is the Xymon IP address and Port  .I have added an additional setting called hostname that has a complete name of the host  and  have changed the regedit hostname value  from %COMPUTERNAME% to %COMPUTERNAME%.%USERDNSDOMAIN% in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BBWin .

However I do not see any counters being  monitored on  xymon page .Could you please point me to the troubleshooting steps or anything additional that I might have been required to do ? Any help  is appreciated . I do not see any errors in the BBwin log .

I did run the following test from the host machine and got the below results . But I was unable to see any change in the xymon display .

C:\Program Files (x86)\BBWin\bin>bbwincmd  XXX.XX.XX.XXX:1984 status WinsXXXXP.ad.infosys.com<http://WinsXXXXP.ad.infosys.com> cpu green Test
bbdisplay defined to : XXX.XX.XX.XXX
port defined to : 1984
hostname defined to: WinsXXXXP.ad.infosys.com<http://WinsXXXXP.ad.infosys.com>
Sending status ...

Sending to XXX.XX.XX.XXX:
status WinsXXXXP.ad.infosys.com.cpu green Test
