Debian3.1-Exim4 and Alerts in Hobbit
by Todd.Costa＠state.ma.us 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any experience with setting up the email alerts in Hobbit to be sent via Exim4 on a Debian server to external recipients? This seems to be one of the last pieces I am putting together to migrate from BB to Hobbit. And I am kinda stuck with what I need to do to get it working. I am not very familiar with email servers settings of any kind right now. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Todd Costa Commonwealth of Massachusetts ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "Work Smarter not Harder...use Open Standards with Software that supports it."

Okay, I thought my logic was broken there.

It's just not the way Hobbit (or BB, for that matter) works. The latest status received is always the current one - sending a status with "+30" only indicates that an update must be received within 30 minutes. It doesn't mean that this status is valid for 30 minutes no matter what else is received. >From my point of view, sending a "green" for a status that is down is broken. Either send another "red", or don't send anything at all. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Status Changes Question
by PNIXON＠ci.somerville.ma.us 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hey all, I'm looking to add hobbit to a script I have. I've coded in sending the messages at the appropriate places with the right colors based on the situation. However, if the status goes red, and then during the next cycle of the script, it goes green, HobbitServer changes the status to green, even though the red was sent with status+30 Ideally the behavior I'm looking for is.... Time Status 0 Green 15 Red 30 Green (Hobbit ignores this because it was red for only 15 minutes, not 30 minutes) 45 Green (Hobbit changes the test status to Green now, because it's been 30 minutes). If it doesn't make sense, please send follow up questions so I can flesh it out some more. Thanks, --Pat

Hi, I get this when I check a smtp server: Address=195.86.128.62:25, open=1, res=0, err=0, connecttime=0.002863, totaltime=1.153169, banner='501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments ' (45 bytes) Other smtp servers are working fine. This is the smtp server of the ISP. How can I find out what the exact conversation is between my hobbit server and the smtp server ? Stef

I don't know if the --debug flag will help this time, otherwise you can use any sniffing software (tcpdump, tethereal) for the complete conversation. Hope this'll help Nicolas Figaro > > Stef

I would have to agree it doesn't sound right. :-) It'a also core dumping, and not showing the status page. Any ideas? Regards Vernon ----- No trees were killed in the creation of this message.

bb-warnconfig2.pl for hobbit
by David_Honey＠workcover.vic.gov.au 01 Dec '05

Hi All I'm new to list so I hope this has not been asked before I am just about ready to switch over from big brother to hobbit but my users wish to retain all the bb features as well as the additional hobbit benefits. We use the bb-warnconfig2.pl, So my question is has anybody converted/rewritten this perl script, to reflect the hobbit alert cfg file. And if so where can I get a copy.
