bbwin

##Description installs the bbwin monitoring agent (https://sourceforge.net/p/bbwin/wiki/Home/) to monitor windows servers with Xymon.

##Requirements Tested on Windows 2008R2 and Windows 2012R2

##Recipes ###default Installs the Xymon package (v 0.13) with all defaults.

attributes

To install an older version, you can override node['bbwin']['version'] and node['bbwin']['source_url']

##lwrps ###bbwin_setting Changes a setting in the bbwin.cfg config file. This resource will add the setting if it does not exist, and will add any options that dont already exist. If the section to which it is being added does not exist it will be created as well. Any setting not specified will remain unchanged. You may want to use a template for the config file if you have many settings that need to be changed. Its probably not a good idea to use both a template for the bbwin.cfg as well as this resource, however, as they will probably conflict.

####actions
