Hi All I just realized that we are not receiving NOTICE alerts anymore when disable or enable host.service through the web. tail -10 /var/log/hobbit/enadis.log. I have always seen them but not showing the host whose service I disabled and then enabled. 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.scanmsg':No such file or directory 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.top':No such file or directory 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.netinfo':No such file or directory Also not receiving any email related to NOTICE. ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config [..] HOST=%(.*) MAIL groupemail at here.net FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 NOTICE NOALERT Version: ./bin/bbgen --version bbgen version 4.1.2 I do not think I made any recent changes.

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.

>Our ops people want: >"Audible Alarm notification of all Business Critical Servers that are DOWN for mornitoring" . >I have not talked to them yet but am assuming they mean not pingable. >IM thinking this could be tied in to the Critical Systems page. I found bbaudio-1.0.tar.gz on deadcat Heres the code: - Edit ${BBHOME}/web/bb2_header <BGSOUND id="bbaudio"> <SCRIPT>  </SCRIPT> AS the author says it works with IE but not tested wih others. He's right! Will not firefox mozilla or netscape 7. First Can anyone fix the code for me to work with the above? Second It works in bb2_header and I guess bb_header (per the author). But not in bbnk_header, where I would perfer it to run? -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://faraday.motown.lmco.com:3000/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortfsb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi, I've done all of that and I didn't get it to work ! Is there another thing to do ? I'm looking at the man-page (hobbitd_rrd) but it's the same example ! I put the line NCV_mysql="Uptime:NONE,Queriespersecondavg:GAUGE" into hobbitserver.cfg but what can I do to have the corresponding graph appear in "trends" ? Thanks a lot for your help !

Look at BBTRAY on deadcat.net. I have not tried it with hobbit, but I do recall it had audible alerts. With any luck your OPS people are Simpsons fans.
