HTTP Test Timeout & Delays
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I'm having problems with the HTTP test. Yesterday, I added additional URL's to monitor. We monitor a load of URL's, and yesterday, I added a lot. After adding the additional URL's, I started getting Timeouts across the board. If I look at the graph for old URL's, it shows the graph increasing at the same time I implemented all the new URL's yesterday. ie. I went from about 30 to 60 URL's. Does Hobbit stager URL checks? Is there a way to stager them? Thanks.James

Length of lines in bb-hosts
by plardinois＠be.tiauto.com 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hello, I have this error in bbgen : Warning: Lines in bb-hosts too long or has no newline: ' ' Is there a maximum limit for the lenghts of lines in BB-HOSTS. I must admit that I have lines that are exceeding 430 characters. Is there a way to use a line break such as "\" in the bb-hosts ? Thanks for your feedback.

What if you just sent in a red/yellow status from the commandline to test the trigger? -----Original Message----- From: Asif Iqbal [mailto:vadud3 at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 1:56 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Re: how to test route tag On 11/14/06, Asif Iqbal <vadud3 at gmail.com> wrote: > Is there a way to quick test the depends tag besides changing the > host's ip to a fake one that the service depends on? changing the IP of hosts won't do the test with route tag (or depend tag for that matter).

[hobbit] hobbit-alerts TIME

It discards the alert. It would be pretty horrible to all the alerts from overnight first thing in the morning. -----Original Message----- From: Jones, Jason (Altrincham) [mailto:JasonAS_Jones at mentor.com] Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 9:01 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] hobbit-alerts TIME Hi Guys, Just looking for some confirmation, if you specify a TIME for an alert for example: HOST=%.* MAIL foo at bar.com TIME=W:0700:1750 If an alert happens at 22:00 does hobbit disregard the alert or does it wait and send it out at 07:00 the following day?

Hey All, Has anyone written an external application to monitor/graph the amount of email that a Barracuda Spam Appliance handles? Preferably, the XML page parsing, not SNMP, but if you got it, I can hack at it to make it work :) Thanks! --Pat

Commercial support for Hobbit
by Johann.Eggers＠teleatlas.com 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi Henrik, It seems that the support at hobbitmon.com <mailto:support at hobbitmon.com> is not working (I got a "undeliverable" message from our mail-server several times). So I will resend it over the list. (Sorry for bothering the others...) Thanks Johann ________________________________ From: Johann Eggers Sent: Dienstag, 14. November 2006 09:52 To: support at hobbitmon.com Subject: Commercial support for Hobbit Hi Henrik, It's quite a couple of days ago that I asked you regarding the availibility of commercial support for Hobbit. Recently I re-checked your "Support"-Link (http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/support.html) and it seems to me that you made the decision to provide commercial support. Is this correct? Can you give us more detailed information about paid support, so that we can decide wether to use it or not? Thanks in advance Johann Eggers Sr. Systems Engineer Data Center & Operations Tele Atlas

LDAP Test
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

I've compiled the LDAP test in hobbit, and I'm trying to test the login ability. However, I'm not sure it's working. All the test status shows me is O.K.. Here's what's in my bb-hosts file: 192.168.20.1 systemA # ldaplogin=ldapuser:passwd ldap:systemA:389 Am I missing something here? What's a good way to test if I'm actually doing a login test of ldap? What does the status normally show? Thanks..James

We have our own generated ssl certifcates. When I try to login to the page, I get a pop-up telling me that the security site doesn't match the site. Can I have BB ignore this and continue the http test? ie..Automatically answer yes to the prompt? Thanks...James
