hobbit-alerts.cfg : how to send an email for an event that gets ACKed?
by etienne.grignon＠gmail.com 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi Henrik, Do you know if we can send emails when an event is acknowledged in hobbit 4.2.3 via hobbit-alerts.cfg? The documentation does not refer it but you might have implemented it. It would be great if the NOTICE option would cover both enable/disable and acknowledgment. I attached an old thread for this request below. Thanks, >On Wed, Aug 16, 2006 at 03:51:46PM -0400, Jerry Yu wrote: >> Is it possible that to send notice emails for an event that gets >> acknowledged (either from the admin page or through email)?

Hello, I never did get any replies on this one, so I thought I'd send it again. What's the best way to do this? Remove the file and let xymon (hobbit) re-create the database and then try to export and import the old data? Is there a way to add the new column? Any help would really be appreciate. I don't want to loose the old data. Thanks.James _____ From: James Wade [mailto:jkwade at futurefrontiers.com] Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 4:46 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Need Help Migrating RRD data Hello, So, I wrote a Hobbit(xymon) Script that gives the number of users accessing specific URL's which goes into the RRD database. I now want to track the number of users accessing another URL, so I modified my hobbit script and the hobbitgraph.cfg. However, I can't see the new data. What's the easiest way to get the new value into the RRD database? I know I can just remove the existing database and have it re-create the database and it will start pulling the new data. However, I want my old data from the other values in there in addition to the new one. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.James

Hello, So, I wrote a Hobbit(xymon) Script that gives the number of users accessing specific URL's which goes into the RRD database.

memory test
by kkelly＠lifetouch.com 15 May '09

Hopefully someone can shed some light! I am running xymon 4.2.3 on Solaris with all solaris clients. I have notice that the memory test is calculating the amount of memory used is incorrect. I have a client system that has 64g of memory. It seems to display the total right, but not what is used. Used total Physical 33313M 65312M 51% When I look on the server, it's using about 5g of memory, not 33g. Can someone give me a fix or tell me what script is doing this?

[hobbit] alert.chk

Hi Dominique, thanks for the answer. I've just changed the script an now it shows the correct status. Didn't think of using "bb ... hobbitdboard". Nevertheless I am just curious why the status is written with a different color to alert.chk.

alert.chk
by bb4＠richter-it.net 14 May '09

14 May '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, I just migrated a script I've written some time ago for Big Brother to XYmon for creating a special page for our operators. Thus I'm using the file alert.chk for evaluating the data that will be displayed on this page. Today I saw that there was a red icon for a test and when I clicked on it the page for the test itself was yellow for over 2 hours. When I grepped for the machine and test in alert.chk I saw that the color there was set to red. I doublechecked with hobbitd.chk and there the color was yellow. I'm talking about the fifth column in alert.chk and the sixth in hobbitd.chk. Maybe I should not use alert.chk for getting the data but use hobbitd.chk instead? But I was wondering why there are differences between these two files. Perhaps someone can turn me in the right direction so that I can see the light :-) Cheers Torsten - -- +---------------------------------------------------------+ | Richter IT-Consulting | | E-mail : bb4 [at] richter-it.net | | | | Homepage: http://www.richter-it.net/ | +---------------------------------------------------------+ Download my public key from: http://www.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x899093AC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3-nr1 (Windows XP) iD8DBQFKCwLF7DlmxomQk6wRAgRxAKDG3IIS4auPYDgvmKWtceJgA0VF2wCgqs32 dLDRcgMaqFsWPh2ooMl3P8w= =TE3/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
