[Xymon] BBWIN Central Mode - Auto Reset Services

[Simmons Clint]

Scot,

The server is configured to auto restart if the service stops, but we have had in the past that windows didn't do the job however BBWIN was able to restart the service. Now those same servers in central mode no longer automagically fixing themselves.


Carl; I completely agree. Unfortunately the server team doesn't :)


Thanks for everyone's feedback. I thought this may be a lost cause.

Why not set the Windows server to auto restart the service if it stops?

Thanks,

If memory serves, the autorestart option only works in local mode and is a specific BBWin feature.

It's been stated in the past that the philosophy of Xymon is to not automatically fix things; humans should investigate why it stopped and try to fix the issue.

Subject: [Xymon] BBWIN Central Mode - Auto Reset Services

It seems that after switching to central mode on all of our BBWIN clients we have lost the ability to auto restart services.

This would work with the client using a local bbwin.cfg:
<setting name=" Symantec_AntiVirus" value="started" autoreset="true" alarmcolor="red" />

However, now that we have moved to a central config the autoreset doesn't work.
SVC " Symantec_AntiVirus" startup=automatic status=started  autoreset=true

Is there a certain syntax that needs be used in analysis.cfg?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Clint Simmons
