one hobbit server - multiple network interfaces and IP's
by paulehr＠gmail.com 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hello everyone!, Currently I am running hobbit 4.2.0 a Dell power edge running Ubuntu. I have two network interfaces with each interface sitting on a different network. I am going to need to monitor devices on both networks and have the display be accessible on both interfaces. Has anyone ever set something like this up? If so how did you go about doing it? We are in the process of moving all of our gear from one network to another and this is not going to be a perm. solution Thanks for the help in advance! Paul Ehrenreich

custom script help
by arosen＠oleh.com 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, I'm writing a custom script that parses a mailbox and sends the contents to the hobbit server. The problem is some emails are large, so I would like the status page to show a list of email subjects which, when one is clicked, would display the contents of that message. Is that possible? If so, how would I go about sending the body of each message and generating a link in the status page. Thanx. Avi R.

BBWin: cluster.exe external
by s_aiello＠comcast.net 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

All, I am still in the process of upgrading from bbgen to Hobbit. After the server upgrade I plan on upgrading all the clients to hobbit and bbwin clients. Since I close to the end of this upgrade project I see no need to install the old bbclients on windows servers, so I have been performing bbwin installs. Today I had the opportunity to use the cluster.exe external module. The module works great when reporting to a Hobbit Server. A problem occurs when it is reporting to a BB/BBGEN server. It seems when the report is sent in BB/BBGEN see the first line as " green" not "green". Looking at the bbwin/tmp/cluster file before it is sent to the server in notepad and wordpad, the first line is "green". But looking at the bbvar/logs/server.cluster file it is " green". So somewhere in the communication of BBWin client --> bbproxy --> BBGen something weird is going on. Since " green" is an unknown color status, BBGen has issue displaying the status icon & background color of the cluster report. I believe the problem is limited to the cluster.exe module and not in the bbwin client since I have written a vbs external script, and it reports fine into BBGen. I do not see this as a high priority bug, especially since I am moving to hobbit soon. Figured it just needed to be reported on. ~Steve

We have it on a bunch of servers here as the software development environment is spread across continents. Same here, beside it is cross continents. it is also cross OS platform. I need to customize the df script to exclude mvfs on Linux,hpux and solaris before I can deploy hb client. tj yang
