[Xymon] BigBrother client - interaction with Win Resource Manager

[John Thurston]

Note: This question does not relate to xymon, except that the client is 
sending messages to a xymon server.


We have some customers running windows servers on vmware. Those servers, 
for historical reasons, are running the Quest Big Brother Professional 
Edition client, version 5.01  They've run nicely for years, and are now 
not reporting CPU information.

The system admin reports some recent changes to the servers:
   added CPU cores through the VM management client
   installed Windows Resource Manager to map processes to cores

I suspect the ancient BBPE client has been blinded by the "Windows 
Resource Manager", but don't know enough about windows to get beyond 
that suspicion.

Is anyone here able to shed any light on the way Windows Resource 
Manager may be confusing an ancient BB client?
