Feasibility of Windows Client<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi Steve, Hi
Peter,<BR><BR><BR>Well, with BBWin, you will be able to compile it without
cygwin because I use all win32 possibilities :) And the source code of BBWin
is under GPL, so no more problem :) <BR><BR>About the hobbit protocol, the
agent will be able to use data messages so, I some agents will be able to send
status message used for the web page, and data message in an easier format to
be able to parse it on hobbit server side. For the moment, I'm trying to get
the same format than the original quest bbnt client to be able to use the
existing rrd parsing scripts. Of course, in the future, we can imagine to
report status and data in a similar format than the today hobbit unix client.
<BR><BR><BR>About WMI, I will only use if I can't do it using native C++ api.
For example, I have made a nice external vbs using WMI to monitor my windows
wlbs (NLB) clusters because no C api was available. However, for the MSCS
clusters, even if it's possible to make it with WMI, I had prefered make the
external with the native C api. So, note that you will be soon be able to
monitor easily the two sorts of Microsoft clusters :) These 2 probes will be
integrated in the preview release. (If I have enough time, MSCS external will
be released as a native bbwin agent :) ) <BR><BR>After posting the preview
release, I think I will be able to implement a new probe each 2 weeks, so I
will try to work as Henrik :<BR><BR>1) first post the idea with my
implementation idea<BR>2) recolt all your ideas and remarks <BR>3) merge the
all and implement it <BR><BR><BR>If anyone has ideas about the project, don't
hesitate to post or to send me directly an email :)<BR><BR><BR>Peter : I did't
get the attached file you posted, it doesn't seem to be present
