For those who want to monitor a cups print server, here's a definition you can put in your bb-services file: [cupsd] send "GET /printers\r\n" expect "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" port 631 Alternatively, you could just use http://host:631/printers in your bb-hosts file. The cupsd is, for monitoring purposes, a web server. -Jeff "Fun with Users #1: ln -s /dev/random /etc/motd"

Email alert based on specific process
by iqbala-hobbit＠qwestip.net 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi All I am using bb-proctab to monitor a list of processes and if any process a whole group get alert. Is there a way I can setup the alert with process specific. So if proc 1 out the list dies only user 1 get alert and so on. I know I could use the SCRIPT feature but like to keep that as the last resort. I am using hobbit 4.1.2 on Solaris 8. The process list I am concern about is running bb1.9c client on Solaris 8 as well. Sorry if it were already discussed in the mailing list.

[hobbit] Hobbit, Net-snmp snmptrap,and HPOV
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

There is an option to snmptrap (from net snmp) to send full OIDs, otherwise they are cut. Instead of "snmptrap -v 1", the options should be : "snmptrap -v 1 -Of" Otherwise only the end of the OID is sent.

descriptions in alerts
by kflavin＠iswest.net 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Hi, We've inserted information using the "Descr:" tags in our bb-hosts file that we'd like to be able to include in some of our alerts. Is there a variable that we can use in our paging scripts to include this information - or is there a way to grab this information about a host when sending an alert? Kevin Flavin

Downsecs wrong?
by patrick_a_vaughan＠hotmail.com 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

I've just noticed that the $DOWNSECS variable seems to be wrong. I've seen lots of times that it's 0. I found one time today where the history page says the duration was 1:49:57, but $DOWNSECS in the recovery message was set to 48. I don't know when this started, but I've got odd recovery times going back a couple of weeks.
