I'm doing it for aix. I will adapt my script for linux and let you know the result.

What is the syntax for GROUP=web,web2 ?
by tj_yang＠hotmail.com 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

# You can also associate a GROUP id with a rule. The group-id is passed to# the alert module, which can then use it to control who gets an alert when# a failure occurs. E.g. the following associates the "httpd" process check# with the "web" group, and the "sshd" check with the "admins" group:# PROC httpd 5 GROUP=web# PROC sshd 1 GROUP=admins# In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, you could then have rules like# GROUP=web# MAIL webmaster at foo.com# GROUP=admins# MAIL root at foo.com The above notes in hobbit-clients.cfg explain for httpd process less than 5, send alert to web(webaster at foo.com) But I don't know what is the correct syntax to specify more than one recepients ? is it "GROUP=web,web2,web3" or "GROUP=web web2 web3" or else ?

Hobbit server/client, Nagios server ?!
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 11 Nov '08

Hi ! ... some spinning around this quite recently thread .... > RE: [hobbit] Nagios client, Hobbit server anyone? > > http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/11/msg00212.html "Hobbit Server/Client and Nagios Server" I need something which triggers an alarm from an hobbit-client or hobbitserver (prefer) to our NAGIOS-Server .. .. the reason ? Our Operating-Crew and our hole IT-Division (execept me and my Admin-Colleagues) are using NAGIOS as our first Monitoring-Tool, but i for my own use Hobbit/Xymon ... :-) So, after Hobbit is monitoring, maybe less fewer (?), the half of our 3000 Machines, Hobbit/Xymon is switching from "My" to "OUR" Tool ... that's means more,authoritative and accurate work for me ... .. and using the big advantage of Hobbit/Xymon to adavance the Monitoring of our whole Division "against" our Customers ... ... maybe something trigger an alarm while sending alarm-mails or something around, as told several time before, i'm not a brillant coder :-( .. or maybe traps .. ? Some suggestions ? .. are very welcome :-) thanks & cheers martin Gruss Martin Flemming ______________________________________________________ Martin Flemming DESY / IT office : Building 2b / 008a Notkestr. 85 phone : 040 - 8998 - 4667 22603 Hamburg mail : martin.flemming at desy.de ______________________________________________________

check_logs dont work
by flyzone＠technologist.com 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Just miss the temp directory Log in as hobbit and create the $BBHOME/tmp/checkmsg folder, is the folder "checkmsg" under the tmp of hobbit with mkdir command. Sorry to didn't yet implement a auto-creation in the script. Remember also that some distribution don't let the users read the /var/log/messages and maybe you'll need to give read permission on the file.
