Hi Jeremy,

Yes - Log-SVR is also a windows server. I've checked the BBWin.cfg files on
both and both are the same

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<bbwin>
<setting name="bbdisplay" value="z.z.z.z" />
 <!-- bbwin mode local or central -->
<setting name="mode" value="central" />
<setting name="configclass" value="win32" />
 <setting name="autoreload" value="true" />
<setting name="timer" value="5m" />
<load name="cpu" value="cpu.dll"/>
<load name="disk" value="disk.dll"/>
<load name="externals" value="externals.dll"/>
<load name="filesystem" value="filesystem.dll"/>
<load name="memory" value="memory.dll"/>
<load name="msgs" value="msgs.dll"/>
<load name="procs" value="procs.dll"/>
<load name="stats" value="stats.dll"/>
<load name="svcs" value="svcs.dll"/>
<load name="uptime" value="uptime.dll"/>
<load name="who" value="who.dll"/>
<setting name="loglevel" value="3" />
<setting name="logpath" value="..\logs\BBWin.log"/>
<!--  If true, the agent will report reporting failures as warning events
-->
<setting name="logreportfailure" value="false" />
</bbwin>
</configuration>

I've restarted the Big Brother Xymon service on the ACS-Svr and in the log
file I get

2013/12/18 11:09:21 [INFO]: bbwin is stopped.
2013/12/18 11:09:22 [INFO]: [filesystem]: failed to load logfetch status
C:\Program Files\BBWin\tmp\logfetch.status : The system cannot find the
file specified.
2013/12/18 11:09:22 [INFO]: bbwin is started - using central configuration

I thought I'd restart the service on the Log-Svr and I get the same
messages.....

Thanks
