Look at Devmon. It does a good job of pulling the information out of SNMP. --Pat -----Original Message----- From: Rich Smrcina [mailto:rsmrcina at wi.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 9:06 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Monitoring Cisco routers I'm looking to hear from the group about monitoring Cisco routers. I see on deadcat that there are a number of external packages to do this, which is the best? Ideally we want to monitor traffic, in addition to the standard ping test, CPU and memory would be a bonus. Thanks, -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

Disable grey columns
by thomas_lange＠hotmail.com 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

Hallo , I have the file and port columns with only the grey indicator ( = no data). Can I disable the columns ? I have tried in bb-hosts : Nocolums : files,port - but it doesn't work. Any idea ? _________________________________________________________________ Sie suchen E-Mails, Dokumente oder Fotos?

file monitoring

hi all, Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file. If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert. in client-local.cfg I have file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1` which produces the oldest file name on the web page. I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200 but I get no alarms. Any ideas ?

Web Page Check
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Does anyone know how I can integrate hobbit with a test that would check web page logins? For example, We have a Web Server which connects to an App. Server which connects to a Database Server. To test functionality, we login to the Web Server, then enter data into a form, which stores the information into the database. This is just a test user account. I'd like to setup a test that does the same thing and have hobbit alert us. For example, you can an error logging in, or an error submitting your data in the form. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks..James

/var/adm/messages, Not noifying
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hello All, Since I move everything over to hobbit, the messages monitoring seems to have changed. I get no alerts on /var/adm/messages file anymore. We just had a database server crater, and the /var/adm/messages file was full of VCS errors. I'm also not getting notified of SCSI errors I've seen on other machines. Am I missing something? Should I have configured something else? Thanks.James
