the cpu.dll line in BBWin.cfg so that you are not running the standard CPU
test, then have your script write the file into %BBWIN%/tmp called ‘cpu’<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

output show up in the cpu column as if it was the normal BBWin test. If you are
already writing it into /tmp as cpu but still have the inbuilt test switched
on, that could be your problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Does
anyone know if it's possible to build an externals test and have it sent in
with the regular collected data with BBWin?<br>
<br>
I have a machine with a large number of cores and BBWin's CPU section is unable
to handle reporting on it. I've made an external whose output exactly
matches the CPU section of the data collected and sent to Xymon by BBWin but
I'm struggling on how to get the data sent to Xymon. When I write out the
data to a file in %BBWIN%/tmp it is sent to the Xymon server but it seems like
nothing is happening with it. Likely because the server is expecting a
full external test and I'm not sending like that. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
