[Xymon] Problem with bbwin and purple

[me at tdiehl.org]

Hi,

I have bbwin 0.13 running in central mode on several boxes talking to xymon
4.3.7. Most of the boxes are reporting as advertised. I have 3 of them that
intermittently stop reporting and turn purple. The servers still seem to be
talking to xymon but I get the following errors in the eventvwr:

BBWin failed to send the client data successfully to the Xymon server. The
error was : Can't send message : An existing connection was forcibly
closed by the remote host..

BBWin failed to send the client data successfully to the Xymon server. The
error was : Can't send message : The operation completed successfully..

The above errors are from 2 different machines.

tcpdump shows that the client and server are communicating. There is nothing
in the xymon logs that gives any hints.

The bbwin.cfg is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<bbwin>
     <setting name="bbdisplay" value="my.xymon.ip" />
     <setting name="bbdisplay" value="my.other.xymon.ip" />
     <!-- BB Pager Part -->
     <!--<setting name="usepager" value="false" />
     <setting name="bbpager" value="yourfirstbbpager" />
     <setting name="bbpager" value="yourfirstbbpager" />
     <setting name="pagerlevels" value="red yellow" /> -->

     <!-- proxy connection settings -->
     <!--
     <setting name="useproxy" value="false" />
     <setting name="proxy" value="[user:password@]host[:port]'/>
     -->

     <!-- bbwin mode local or central -->
     <setting name="mode" value="central" />
     <setting name="configclass" value="win32" />

     <setting name="autoreload" value="true" />
     <setting name="timer" value="5m" />
     <load name="bbwinupdate" value="bbwinupdate.dll"/>
     <load name="cpu" value="cpu.dll"/>
     <load name="disk" value="disk.dll"/>
     <load name="externals" value="externals.dll"/>
     <load name="filesystem" value="filesystem.dll"/>
     <load name="memory" value="memory.dll"/>
     <load name="msgs" value="msgs.dll"/>
     <load name="procs" value="procs.dll"/>
     <load name="stats" value="stats.dll"/>
     <load name="svcs" value="svcs.dll"/>
     <load name="uptime" value="uptime.dll"/>
     <load name="who" value="who.dll"/>
     <setting name="loglevel" value="3" />
     <setting name="logpath" value="..\logs\BBWin.log"/>
     <!--  If true, the agent will report reporting failures as warning events -->
     <setting name="logreportfailure" value="false" />
</bbwin>
</configuration>

I have the following in analysis.cfg:

CLASS=win32
         LOAD 80 90 # Load threholds are in %
         MEMPHYS 99 101
         MEMSWAP 90 97
         MEMACT  97 99
         SVC Dhcp startup=automatic status=started
         PROC svchost.exe 3
         PORT STATE=LISTENING MIN=0 TRACK=Listen TEXT=Listen

Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem?
