Possible bug
by Doug.Williams＠rhd.com 19 Mar '09

ahhh, my bad, sorry. I see what may be the problem: MESSAGE The message parameter is the message to be sent across to the Hobbit server. Messages must be enclosed in quotes, but by doing so they can span multiple lines. The maximum size of a message is defined by the maximum allowed length of your shell's commandline, and is typically 8-32 KB. If you need to send longer status messages, you can specify "@" as the message: bb will then read the status message from its stdin. Sorry, Cheers!

SMS Alerts

Hello, I am trying to get a custom message sent from Hobbit via sms. All I want is the hostname with a short message sent after it. So far I have #!/bin/bash echo "${BBHOSTNAME:0:160} cpu is red" | gnokii --sendsms 1234567890 I am using gnokii as the gate way. I think my variable is what is causing the problem, can someone see where I have gorn wrong?

Hi, I'm using dbcheck.pl to monitor my Oracle database but check them every 30min produce too much overload. I used dhcheck slow mode (every 2h) but this a way too long for my Hobbit server : the db color switch to purple. Is there a way to define the among of time before the server switch to purple? Any other ideas is also welcome on dbcheck tweaks. Thanks by advance, LMJ

Hi! Do you have any experience with windows monitoring? For clients: BBWin or MrBig. MrBig looks like a small application without support, community. Which windows client is working well under Windows 2000 server, 2003 server, 2008 server without strange behavior? For a webserver under windows there are 2 plugins: iishealth.zip and BuddyTray_1.2.4_Installer.zip Did you use them? Any experience, advice? Gabi

Temperature Graphs
by pnixon＠gmail.com 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hey all, I'm trying to monitor some temperatures from Windows boxes and I have the external script set up to send the message to Xymon, and it's trying to create the graph, but It's not seeing any data, even over the course of several hours worth of data. Does anyone know the exact formatting necessary to create the graphs? Also, is it possible to graph multiple items on one graph? Thanks! --Pat
