Crashes in hobbitd_alert: hobbitd_alert --checkpoint-file=/home/hobbit/server/tmp/alert.chk --checkpoint- To roll back to the previous version that works, I remove the snapshot directory and extract the snapshot from May 18, recompile and reinstall. Suggestions?

Alering on log file entries
by Phil.Wild＠asgardwealthsolutions.com.au 19 May '06

19 May '06

Hello all, I have a requirement to monitor a number of log files on one system and to page different people depending on what it sees in the different files. From what I can tell, this functionality is not available. Am I wrong here? My thoughts on setting this up would be to clone and modify the existing bb-msgs feeder script to accept a different config file and report as a different test and then through hobbit, set up alerts to the different group for the additional test. Is this a sound approach or is there a better way?

hobbit-alerts parsing order
by rmunsch＠solutionsforprogress.com 19 May '06

19 May '06

hello list, i'm having some trouble with my alert priorities. I can't find anything definitive in docs or archives about the order that hobbit-alerts is parsed in (frex, should Service come before Host?). Generally, some rules aren't getting matched on events, and no "STOP"ped rules before them are matching, so I'm not sure why. ATM i have some host-specific rules near the top that have NO rules for conn. Later in the file is a SERVICE=conn. When one of the hosts that matches for HOST= loses conn, i get no alerts. I had assumed that if a service was left out of a HOST block, then the SERVICE= blocks would catch them. Was this wrong, or have I done something else..? Thanks, -- Rob Munsch Solutions For Progress IT

Just make sure you recheck everything, fping installed with the suid bit set? Can you run the external scripts through bbcmd ok? ~David To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Hi all, I have about 200 SGI IRIX systems that I am going to have to start monitoring. Does anyone already have a hobbitclient-irix.sh created???? I guess the other question is will hobbit server handle the data sent to it????? Ken,
