Ok.


I see the problem.

Change :
<setting name="mode" value="central" />

to

<setting name="mode" value="local" />


Then every thing should work. Then, customize the rules of the
different agents to trigger alerts. Take a look at the bbwin.cfg
example under the doc folder and the bbwin documentation guide.

central mode is implemented in BBWin but the hobbit server part which
parse the data from bbwin is not ready, so you have to use the local
mode which send status instead of clientdata message.

Regards,

Etienne.
