Separating alarms
by JamesHorwath＠glic.com 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Does hobbit allow alarms to be sub-partiitoned? Let me explain. Can I say filesystem X goes to the DBA, filesystem Y goes to the admins, filesystem Z goes to a WEB developer? Same question for processes. I remember it was a no go in vanilla BB, how about hobbit. Second, hobbit does support notification escalation, correct?

DURATION tag
by Kevin.Hanrahan＠novainfo.com 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

I have been seeing what I think is a problem with the "DURATION" tag. I keep getting alerted for very short outages on different tests when I have a duration tag that I don't think is ever exceeded. For instance, I have the following rule: HOST=$UNIXPROD MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red EXSERVICE=cpu,iostat,vmio,oracle,oracle9 REPEAT=30m RECOVERED MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=oracle DURATION>10m REPEAT=30m RECOVERED MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=oracle9 DURATION>10m REPEAT=30m RECOVERED MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu DURATION>1h REPEAT=1h RECOVERED TIME=W:0800:1700 MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=purple REPEAT=1h RECOVERED Then I got this alert: red Sat Mar 26 21:23:09 EST 2005 Oracle test on "RM01": WARNING And here is the data from the "hist" log [root at sknxmon02 hist]# tail sfdomain2.oracle Sat Mar 26 20:43:05 2005 yellow 1111887785 2404 Sat Mar 26 21:23:09 2005 red 1111890189 I get alerted immediately upon a red state! I have put in durations of up to 5 hours, just to be sure but when a test goes red, I get the alert right away. Does anybody else have these problems?

Problem with TIME in hobbit-alerts.cfg
by tbarnes1＠hfhs.org 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

I am having difficulty with the TIME paramter on one of my hosts. There is a weekly downtime scheduled from Saturday evening at 9:30 pm until Sunday morning at 5:00 am. I have the following entry in hobbit-alerts.cfg: HOST=myhost SERVICE=myservice TIME=W:0000:2359,6:0000:2130,0:0500:2359 The bb-display.log shows: Bad timespec (missing colon or wrong weekdays): W:0000:2359 This is one of about 45 entries in hobbit-alerts.cfg, but the only one where I am using W for weekdays, per the NKTime defs from man bb-hosts. I do not see wht I am doing wrong here.

Hi I saw in the hobbitd section of hobbitlaunch.cfg file an option --purple-conn=conn. What is that mean? I did a man on hobbitd and I did not see any such option.
