In central mode, bbwin behaves like a normal, regular Xymon client.
Which means: show all information available and have it checked
(validated) on the server.

> For example, services in central mode list all available services, whereas in local mode it only shows the ones you want to monitor - centralised mode also doesn't allow spaces in the service name.
See above. In central mode, there is only one place where you
configure your hosts.

Also, here you have to modify on the central server your configfiles.
You must tell the clients to monitor the local logfiles:

Central mode? Configure clients-local.cfg as follows:

[win32]
eventlog:security
ignore some_example_string
eventlog:application
ignore information
eventlog:system
ignore information

This might help.
