[hobbit] BBWin 0.5 available

Fri Apr 7 19:38:53 CEST 2006

I 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.

	I have not been able to successfully start the BBwin service on
WIndows 2000 Server SP4.  It worked on my XP machine and I tried the
same settings on 2000 but it just won't start.  I tried verbose logging
(4) but it does not show much. 
	My event log shows the following:
	Event Type:    Warning
	Event Source:    BigBrotherHobbitClient
	Event Category:    Service 
	Event ID:    5
	Date:        4/7/2006
	Time:        12:41:51 PM
	User:        N/A 
	Computer:    XXXX
	Description:
	The configuration file bbwin.cfg in namespace bbwin has an
unknown setting : logreportfailure 

	Event Type:    Error

	Description:
	The Big Brother Hobbit Client service terminated unexpectedly.
It has done this 4 time(s).  The following corrective action will be
taken in 0 milliseconds: No action. 

	I tried to remove the logreportfailure setting, but it makes no
difference.

	any help is appreciated.

		Hello everyone,

		I publish today the second preview of BBWin, a free Big
Brother Hobbit Windows client.

		You can download the MSI installer of this preview from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin

		This preview contains the new following stuffs:

		* The Cpu agent dll : it will monitor your cpu with a
full ps report sorted by cpu usage 

		* The Disk agent dll : it will monitor your disks usage

		* The Memory agent dll : it will monitor your memory
usage 

		* The Stats agent dll : just to send statistics reports
like netstat for trends purpose 

		* The external fsmon: a small script used to monitor
folders (files counting for IIS smtp queue for example)

		* The externals agent can now work with report file
using lifetime feature

		* The uptime agent doesn't use anymore the pdh library

		* The converting tools: migrate your current bbnt
configuration to the BBWin configuration format instantaneously

		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.

		Also, it contains the already existing stuffs with some
bugs corrections. You may look at the change log file to get more
details.

		* The executable BBWin: it is the native service in
charge of executing the agents

		* The executable BBWinCmd : it is a command line utility
to send messages to an hobbit server

		* The Externals agent dll: it is an agent in charge of
executing all your existing BB scripts or executables

		* The Procs agent dll : it is an agent in charge of
checking running processes

		* 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.

		* The external wlbs.vbs: monitor wlbs (nlb) windows
clusters

		* The external cluster.exe: monitor mscs windows
clusters

		* The agents SDK: contains an example and the necessary
headers to develop your own C++ BBWin agents

		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.

		Note : If upgrading from BBWin 0.4, just install the new
version, it will upgrade your BBWin agent without erasing your existing
configuration files.

		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.

		The next preview (0.6) should be delivered on April
17th. It will contain :

		* the Services agent dll : monitor Windows services with
autorestart features

		* the Event agent dll : a small version to monitor the
windows event log

		* Improvement of the cpu agent

		* Improvement of the BBWin core service (To be more
robust)

		* A better documentation

		Also, I created a newsletter that you can use for
questions, requests or bug reports about BBWin.

		You can subscribe to the list on : 

		http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=136450

		Etienne.
