I have a DNS test that is returning a NOT ok message, however a dig/nslookup against it is working just fine. I ran a bbcmd test and all I see for debug output is: 2006-08-15 22:52:54 Adding to combo msg: status dns01,[snip].dns red  Tue Aug 15 22:51:36 2006 dns NOT ok Is there more info I can get to tell me exactly why this test is failing?

Metrics Report for other tests
by jonescr＠cisco.com 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

I only see options to create metrics reports for CPU, Disk, RAM, and Ping. Is it possible to make metrics reports for other defined services as well? Ones I would be interested in are: * Clock offset * Network Traffic * Processes (including TRACKed procs) * Any custom NCV graphs I guess I was expecting to be able to do a multi-host metric comparison of any available graphs. -Charles

[hobbit] Change of IP doesn't seem to take

Thanks...my manual entry for the new IP in /etc/hosts is what clued me to the cause. I've now added "# testip" and removed the entry from /etc/hosts.

That is it!

Your DNS records are probably still pointing at the old IP.

I think I figured it out...it is looking at DNS and that has not been corrected yet. I created an entry in /etc/hosts and now everything looks great. So...never mind! ________________________________ From: Smith, Jim [mailto:JMSmith at stvincenthealth.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 3:52 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Change of IP doesn't seem to take Greetings all! We've been having issues with a terminal server and finally decided to change its IP address. I changed the IP address in bb-hosts and restarted hobbit, but my status page is still showing the terminal server as failing to ping and showing the old IP.

[hobbit] Problems with hobbit-enadis.cgi from info page

I was checking with the help of cgierror.log and yes the problem is the HTTP_REFERER. Now I don't get an error but I remain in the hobbit-enadis page instead of returning to the info page.

Compile error with latest snapshot

I've attached a really quick (read: ugly) fix, which sidesteps it by using the C "define" feature to rename the Hobbit host_t type to something else. I think that should make the compile work.
