clientlaunch, LOGFILE to dev null
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hello, I want to have a logfile go to /dev/null for a script I've added to hobbit. - The user wants it to run once a minute and I don't want the logfile to fill up. In the clientlaunch file, can I just do a: LOGFILE /dev/null Any concerns with this other than I'll have to change it if I want to see if I'm having any problems with the script running? Thanks..James

filtering on bbproxy module
by Johann.Eggers＠teleatlas.com 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi, I have a question re: bbproxy... Currently bbproxy is forwarding "everything" to the other system(s). My question: Is it possible (or planned to implement) to do some filtering on which information (means combination client.test) is forwarded. If you want to "only" send information from specific remote clients you have to jump from system to system and configure a second IP-Address to which he sends his information. Doing so you will not take the advantage of sending combined messages to the central system like the bbproxy module does. Also a lot more effort is needed to configure all effected clients seperately. Thanks -Johann

Turning an SSH Yellow into a Red?
by peter.smith＠utsouthwestern.edu 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

I have a system that, periodically, will hang up in such a way that everything appears normal with the exception of SSH not responding in a happy way. The SSH port is still able to be opened but rather the PID for SSH just isn't alive. This results in a Yellow for SSH. I'd like to, just for this host, turn that Yellow into a Red. Any ideas? Thanks, Peter

drop msgs on windows clients?
by apalmer＠shutterfly.com 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hello, I'm trying to remove the msgs check on the windoze BB 1.08d clients. I've ran the "drop <hostname> msgs" command from the host and it doesn't appear to do the trick. I've done this in the past with custom checks I've added, and it has worked fine. I noticed the NOCOLUMNS flag you can add to bb-hosts for *nix hosts, but unfortunately in this case, it's only the windows servers I care about. Any help? Andy

Historical status not available
by rsmrcina＠wi.rr.com 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

When clicking on an icon on the non-Green page, I get a (mostly) blank page with the subject message on it. I tracked this down to running out of inodes, I trimmed history and restarted Hobbit. But, I still can not access the history data. I rebooted the machine and it appears I can see history data for new events, but events from before the reboot still display the above message. -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.
