Devmon 0.3.0 final has been released, and is available for download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/devmon The changes since 0.3.0rc1 are as follows: - Ensure that send_msgs returns when display server is inaccessible. This change fixes the "Devmon turns purple" issue - Fix Hobbit-only dont-poll-if-down feature - Distribute a more complete patch for hobbit that includes do_devmon.c Significant changes since 0.2.2: -Providing data suitable for generation of trend graphs via the rrd option to tables in templates -A Hobbit rrd collector module to collect this data, to allow the generation of rrd graphs in Hobbit for any template that uses the rrd option. An equivalent perl script is provided for use as an extra-script with hobbitd_rrd. -Support for negative regex thresholds -A 'plain' option for tables, allowing unformatted repeaters -Ignores rows which have empty values for one of the repeaters -Fix numeric thresholds on branch OIDs -Allow FQDN in NODENAME, and use unstripped FQDN by default (so dm test for devmon node works where hostname is FQDN) New templates in the 20080206 templates release: -dell-poweredge for Dell PowerEdge servers running OMSA -ibm-rsa2 for IBM Remote Server Adapters -apc-9617 -f5-bigip-lite and f5-bigip -cisco-asa for ASA or PIX with IOS 7.x, or FWSM 3.x -cisco-pix for PIX 6.x -linux-openwrt, to demonstrate use of 'plain' option -cisco-4500, cisco-msfc2, cisco-5500, cisco-6506, cisco-2811,cisco-3640 -dell-perc for older Dell PowerEdge servers running percsnmp Changes to existing templates in the 20080206 template release: -Tests for fans, power, temp, log added to compaq-server -Add ciscocpu.pl-compatible lines to cpu message files for cisco devices to get cpu graphs from Hobbit -Alarm/graph on any device name that is not explicitly ignored (so Fa.+ works on 6509, S.+ works on 7600 using 6509 template etc.) -Add temp test for cisco-6509 Regards, Buchan

I am trying to make it so server1.imaginenetworksllc.com and sever2.imaginenetworksllc.com both are set as its own alert group.

DURATION explanation in hobbit-alerts.cfg
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Okay, I've read the hobbit-alerts man page and docs. Under Duration the man page says: Rule matching an alert if the event has lasted longer/shorter than the given duration. And then it goes on to give examples and those are in minutes. But for the ping test for a host being down, I only want to send the alert if a host is unresponsive for at least 1 minute (trying to eliminate a bunch of false positives) So I set it up for a single host with the following rule... HOST=test103 MAIL xyz DURATION>1 REPEAT=10 COLOR=red RECOVERED So based on the alerts I've received (see below), Duration isn't per minute. So is there a way to set the alerts so I can specify don't send an alert unless its 1 minute. Service conn on test103 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping System unreachable for 2 poll periods (19 seconds) &red test103 is unreachable
