/data/logs directory

Hi All In the old days when I was using the Big Brother monitoring server I always got some files to the /data/logs directory. Since I begun to use Hobbit I have never seen any files there.... Witch is causing me some trouble on custom made script I wrote when using Big Brother, then I got files to this directory, example file1 and file2 and I could compare the two, now ..I just get files to /data/hist and histlogs with timestamp in the name and that files I cannot use..! Is this directory not longer used with Hobbit ?.. and if not.. why does it still exists ? Regards Siggi

Hi All I just realized that we are not receiving NOTICE alerts anymore when disable or enable host.service through the web. tail -10 /var/log/hobbit/enadis.log. I have always seen them but not showing the host whose service I disabled and then enabled. 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.scanmsg':No such file or directory 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.top':No such file or directory 2005-11-30 07:52:15 Could not remove disable-file '/export/home/hobbit/data/disabled/maskit,inet,here,net.netinfo':No such file or directory Also not receiving any email related to NOTICE. ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config [..] HOST=%(.*) MAIL groupemail at here.net FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 NOTICE NOALERT Version: ./bin/bbgen --version bbgen version 4.1.2 I do not think I made any recent changes.

Downsecs wrong?
by patrick_a_vaughan＠hotmail.com 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

I've just noticed that the $DOWNSECS variable seems to be wrong. I've seen lots of times that it's 0. I found one time today where the history page says the duration was 1:49:57, but $DOWNSECS in the recovery message was set to 48. I don't know when this started, but I've got odd recovery times going back a couple of weeks.

Display until ok
by Craig_Whilding＠mentor.com 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Display until ok is an excellent improvement to Hobbit and I have begun to use it. One thing I've noticed is that (on mine at least) the tests disabled this was don't show up under info or on the currently disabled tests page and that there is no ok message when they are disabled. I would like to see them with the other disabled tests so I know what has been taken down although the enable feature wouldn't really be needed for these. Thanks, Craig Whilding

>Our ops people want: >"Audible Alarm notification of all Business Critical Servers that are DOWN for mornitoring" . >I have not talked to them yet but am assuming they mean not pingable. >IM thinking this could be tied in to the Critical Systems page. I found bbaudio-1.0.tar.gz on deadcat Heres the code: - Edit ${BBHOME}/web/bb2_header <BGSOUND id="bbaudio"> <SCRIPT>  </SCRIPT> AS the author says it works with IE but not tested wih others. He's right! Will not firefox mozilla or netscape 7. First Can anyone fix the code for me to work with the above? Second It works in bb2_header and I guess bb_header (per the author). But not in bbnk_header, where I would perfer it to run? -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://faraday.motown.lmco.com:3000/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortfsb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
