believe I have the same issue. Nothing in the event viewer, not much in my logs
either. Also, bbwin process will crash/disappear for me. Only hangs around
when I have the debug level at 3 or 4. The only time I have seen it run, and
actually send an alert is when I just have the cpu module loading. I can also
load the external module, but I do not have any external processes so far. It
stayed up with the procs module but I never got a report for it, and I was
unable to stop the process, had to kill it. I believe the disk & memory
modules crash it instantly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><SPAN lang=EN-US>Hello everyone,</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB><BR>I publish today the second preview of BBWin, a free
Big Brother Hobbit Windows client.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>You can download the MSI installer of this preview from
<A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin"
target=_blank>http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin</A></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>This preview contains the new following
stuffs:</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB><BR>* The Cpu agent dll : it will monitor your cpu with
a full ps report sorted by cpu usage </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Disk agent dll : it will monitor your disks
usage</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Memory agent dll : it will monitor your memory
usage </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Stats agent dll : just to send statistics reports
like netstat for trends purpose </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The external fsmon: a small script used to monitor
folders (files counting for IIS smtp queue for example)</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The externals agent can now work with report file
using lifetime feature</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The uptime agent doesn't use anymore the pdh
library</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The converting tools: migrate your current bbnt
configuration to the BBWin configuration format instantaneously</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB></SPAN> </P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Note : the cpu, disk, memory and stats agents are bbnt
trends back compatible. So, you will be able to keep your trends history if
you are moving from bbnt client.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Also, it contains the already existing stuffs with some
bugs corrections. You may look at the change log file to get more
details.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The executable BBWin: it is the native service in
charge of executing the agents</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The executable BBWinCmd : it is a command line utility
to send messages to an hobbit server</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Externals agent dll: it is an agent in charge of
executing all your existing BB scripts or executables</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Procs agent dll : it is an agent in charge of
checking running processes</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The Uptime agent dll: it will monitor uptime of the
server including an alarm if reboot recently. It was interesting to separate
this alarm from cpu column.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The external wlbs.vbs: monitor wlbs (nlb) windows
clusters</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The external cluster.exe: monitor mscs windows
clusters</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* The agents SDK: contains an example and the necessary
headers to develop your own C++ BBWin agents</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>After installing the BBWin package, please read the
Readme.txt file to understand its working. It is located in C:\Program
Files\BBWin\doc if you installed it by default.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Note : If upgrading from BBWin 0.4, just install the new
version, it will upgrade your BBWin agent without erasing your existing
configuration files.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>The centralized BBWin version is not ready (I have to
provide some hobbit server side code to Henrik) so BBWin agents need local
configuration for the moment.</SPAN></P><BR>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>The next preview (0.6) should be delivered on April
17<SUP>th</SUP>. It will contain :</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* the Services agent dll : monitor Windows services with
autorestart features</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* the Event agent dll : a small version to monitor the
windows event log</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* Improvement of the cpu agent</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* Improvement of the BBWin core service (To be more
robust)</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>* A better documentation</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB><BR></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Also, I created a newsletter that you can use for
questions, requests or bug reports about BBWin.</SPAN></P>
