Hi all, I'm trying to implement some network tests on the server and i want to do something like the "content" test using = and ; to pass parameters. Example: 0.0.0.0 host1 mytest=cpu:20:40;memory:30:50; But if i use bbhostgrep mytest it will report nothing... It could be useful if it will report also test with parameters like that Francesco

Wow, I don't deal with that kind of complexity. Maybe you can hack up some type of DEPENDS list? http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html Jason Chambers IT Helpdesk Support Geosoft Inc. 85 Richmond St. West - 8th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2C9 Tel: 416-369-0111 x344 Fax: 416-369-9599 www.geosoft.com -----Original Message----- From: PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us [mailto:PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 2:47 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] Alert Setup Question Okay, let me run a scenario... 7:00 HostA generates an alert which gets sent to pageme at here.com 7:05 HostB generates an alert which does not get sent to pageme at here.com because they got paged in the 15 minutes 7:18 HostA is fixed now, but HostB is still broken and generating an alert, which gets sent to pageme at here.com 7:22 HostC breaks now, no Alert to pageme at here.com 7:33 HostB is still Broken, sends an alert to pageme at here.com Duration is for how old the alert is Delay - I haven't seen any documentation on this.

Question

Hi, New to hobbit/bb and have a question. I have a bunch of AIX hosts, and for whatever dumb reason, AIX doesn't have a df switch to do local directories only. I looked into installing GNU df, but in the hobbit configuration files, the "DF" settings say that they don't do anything. I was able to find stuff on excluding directories from RRD, but nothing on excluding filesystems from even being monitored by hobbit. I even tried setting "/CDREL 101 102" in the client configuration file on the server, stopped/started server but still have a red alert on that filesystem. So my question is, how can I exclude a filesystem from being monitored in hobbit? NFS or not, is there a way to simply say "hobbit just totally forget you even know /foo exists period" :-) Thanks, Jeff
