We have a proxy server that I have set up some http tests for as below. Is there a way that I can specify that I only want the test to go red if 2 or more are red? 192.168.4.18 pxy1.domain.com # http://192.168.4.18:8080/http://www.cnn.com http://192.168.4.18:8080/http://www.google.com http://192.168.4.18:8080/http://www.redhat.com ssh COMMENT:"Proxy" -- Stewart The revolution will not be televised.

Purple Status Questions
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

Hi All, Currently the purple status (agent not checking in) only occurs after 30 minutes and then no matter what I set my alert duration to (even immediate), it doesn't alert for another 30 minutes. So it is like this: 1. Turn off agent on server 2. Wait 30 minutes 3. Status turns purple in Hobbit for all except 'conn' 4. Wait 30 minutes 5. Email alert is sent for purple status The alert I have setup for it is for duration>1m though, not 30m ... and it *works fine on red* but not purple. HOST=geoffpc COLOR=purple,red EXSERVICE=msgs DURATION>1m SCRIPT /hobbit/server/ext/email-alert.sh $GEOFF FORMAT=plain RECOVERED My questions are (hopefully someone knows because I didn't find it in the documentation): 1. Can I set 'step 2' above to only wait 10 minutes before a purple status 2. Can I set 'step 4' above for hobbit to check the hobbit-alerts.cfg for purple alerts right away and not wait 30 minutes? Thanks all for any help you can give me. Geoff

It would probably be easier to build a Hobbit .deb package against the librrd2 library you have. First, install the "debhelper", "debmake" and "fakeroot" packages from Ubuntu. Then grab the Hobbit source archive, unpack it and do this: cd hobbit-4.2.0 ./build/makedeb.sh 4.2.0-1 After a while you'll have a ./debian/pkg/hobbit_4.2.0-1_i386.deb package built for your librrd2 libraries.
