hobbit-alerts config and PAGE definition
by sblee＠tazmania.org 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

How does the syntax work in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for the PAGE directive if multiple pages are to be defined? In our environment, the bb-hosts file contains an entry for itself followed by x number of "include" lines. Each included file then contains some number of "page" directives. I don't think PAGE=/ will work here. What would be the right to define PAGE=pagea,pageb,pagec

4.1.1 client vmstat under RedHat
by Dirk.Kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi, the new hobbit client doesn't recognize the different vmstat versions that exist under RedHat. Using the bbclient, I changed the BBOSTYPE in vmstat-bf.sh to debian3 or redhat or whatever. What can I do in the new hobbit client? Dirk

Alert Escalation
by PBMURRAY＠syr.edu 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

I'm trying to set up an alert so that it goes to a specific user after 10 minutes. If not acknowledged in 10 minutes, I want it to go to a second user. If he/she doesn't acknowledge it in another 10 minutes, I want to alert the first user again, and repeat in this fashion until it's acknowledged (or fixed). So, "user 1" would get the alert after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 50 minutes, etc. and "user 2" after 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. For testing, I have the alert defined like: HOST=testhost.syr.edu RECOVERED MAIL user1 at syr.edu FORMAT=TEXT DURATION>10 REPEAT=20 MAIL user2 at syr.edu FORMAT=SMS DURATION>20 REPEAT=20 What happens is the first alert (FORMAT=TEXT) goes out at 10 minutes, nothing at 20 minutes, both at 30 miuntes, nothing at 40 minutes, both at 50 minutes, and so on. I obviously don't understand how REPEAT works. What's the proper way to accomplish this? Thanks, Peter Murray Computing and Media Services Syracuse University Syracuse NY 13244 <pbmurray at syr.edu>

It just annoys everyone. Some of them get caught by the moderation system, but some do slip through.

R: [hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released

Hi, I'm starting to try to use the bb-hostedit tool because I need that other people without unix knowledge can manipulate the bb-hosts file to edit it and configure new client/test. I've a problem with pageset. bb-hostedit don't recognize them so i get errors when he load the file. For example i get a "Syntax error: inetpage Web Web Servers" It's possible in a future version to have pagesets work with bb-hostedit (if not to edit them at least to leave them where they are)? Thanks for the real good work.
