[hobbit] Summary data: pull from upsteam server instead of pushing to
by gumby3203＠gmail.com 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Here's the situation. I have one hobbit server running on a DMZ'ed machine, and another hobbit server running on the internal network (the protected side of the DMZ). The general policy is to not allow any DMZ host to initiate connections to the internal servers (security policy and all). However, I would like to have a summary of the DMZ hobbit server to be displayed on the internal hobbit server. According to the bb-hosts man page, the "summary" command pushes data to the upstream server--in this case, it would be my internal hobbit server. Is there a way for the upstream server to pull the data instead (i.e. the internal "upstream" server pull from the DMZ'ed hobbit server)? If not currently, are there plans to add this feature to a future release of Hobbit?

I'm thinking that if there is an entry in the hobbit-client-config File on the server then it would be server side. I am new at this so I apologize if my questions seem elementary.

alarm software (sms/mail/call/...)
by stef.coene＠docum.org 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi, We are currently using autodialer software that is capable of sending SMS and calling (with prerecorded messages) if there is an alarm. When the first person is not responding within 1 minute, a new SMS is send. After 3 times, the next person is tried. And so on. An alarm can be acknowledged by SMS or calling to a special number and entering a code. The problem is that this setup is not flexible. The only way to configure this software (running on windows) is logging in to the box. The only way to send an alarm is via a snmp trap. So I want to replace this box to a more setup-friendly (if possible open source) solution. A google search was not very helpfull, so do you hobbiters have an idea for software that I can use? Stef
