[hobbit] Extend timers to avoid purples
by Kevin.Hanrahan＠novainfo.com 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

OK, ...thanks for the reply... I tried that, I think. I made a custom script for checking domain registration expiration dates and I am calling it from hobbitlaunch as such: [Domain Registration] CMD /home/hobbit/server/ext/ext-domainname.sh INTERVAL 1400m I am passing the status of the test (using an allready existing BB test) like this: # Get Status proc - used to get all responses # get_status() { DaysLeft=`$PROBE $1` RESULT="OK: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="green" if [ "$DaysLeft" != "Record not found" ] then if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTWARN" ] then RESULT="WARNING: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="yellow" fi if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTERROR" ] then RESULT="ERROR: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="red" fi else RESULT="ERROR: $DaysLeft" COLOR="red" fi echo "$COLOR+1430m `date` $RESULT" } # Main body $GREP "$TEST" $BBHOSTS | while read line; do TESTNAME=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}'` STATUS=`get_status $TESTNAME` if [ ! -z "$STATUS" ] then # NOW USE THE BB COMMAND TO SEND THE DATA ACROSS SDISPLAY="status $TESTNAME.$TEST $STATUS" echo "$SDISPLAY" >> /tmp/ext-domainname.output $BB $BBDISP "$SDISPLAY" fi done After 30 minutes it always goes purple! I thought I was adding 1430 minutes to the result time...am I wrong? I am no coder so please be patient but I could use some direction here please.

bb-mysqlstatus.tar.gz
by iqbala-hobbit＠qwestip.net 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi All Has anyone used the bb-mysqlstatus.tar.gz--found in deadcat--or any other mysql script as bb external script? I like to use one that will work with hobbit. I am mainly interested in "how to setup the mysql larrd with hobbit" that comes with bb-mysqlstatus. The setup of larrd with mysql is explained for bigbrother daemon. I know it is quite different with hobbitd.

New debian hobbit install

Hi, I've just installed hobbit using the deb file, and thought I might provide some feedback :) It seems hobbit should depend on fping which it doesn't seem to at the moment. Possibly more comments later... Regards, Adam
