[hobbit] possible alerting bug in RC2?
by blysik＠shutterfly.com 16 Feb '05

> > And here's the alert I just received: > > > > im68:cpu yellow [-1] > > yellow Mon Feb 14 13:13:56 PST 2005 up: 208 day(s), 1 > users, 115 procs, load=529 > > The alert you show here looks like a recovery-notice (the "-1" I > assume is the acknowledgment cookie, and this value indicates that > there is no active alert). Argh. That's bitten me before. I have to figure out how to get the actual word 'recovered' in there to make it easier to understand at 4am. > Could you check the following in hobbitlaunch.cfg: > > * The "hobbitd" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple > --okcolors=green" > * The "hobbitd_alert" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple" > > This setup should give you alerts when a status is red (or purple), > and recovery notices only when they go green (after being red or > purple). Hmm. I didn't have --okcolors=green, so I added that to the hobbitd command. Just to clarify about the hobbitd_alert command, that's in the bbpage module, correct? I didn't have --alertcolors there, but I've just added it: [bbpage] ENVFILE /opt/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log hobbitd_alert --alertcolors=red,purple Thanks for your assistance. -- Bruce Z.

Can't see my alert in the "info" column
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi all I'm playing with alerts and Hobbit 4.0-rc2, and I must say the ease of use is fantastic ! The only problem is that I can't see my alerts in the "info" colum. My $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg contains this : HOST=foo TIME=W:0900:1800 SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=* EXSERVICE=disk,mem,procs SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=disk DURATION>5m REPEAT=2h SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=mem COLOR=yellow REPEAT=24h SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=procs TIME=*:1145:1150 REPEAT=24h Alerts work fine, but I have this in the "info" column : "No e-mail/SMS alerting defined" Any hint ? Thanks in advance. Regards, -- Frédéric Mangeant

Hardware tests

This possibly doesn't belong in this list, but: Are there any (NT based?) scripts that test for existence of a keyboard & mouse? I have a school who's pupils like cutting leads, and unplugging plugs; so it would be good to know in advance of some problems. Thanks to all for any thoughts. -Gerard
