Is it possible to play a sound (through bbdisplay) when an alert it triggered (red, purple, whatever)? This feature is used in Sitescope . . . but Sitescope doesn't hold a flame to hobbit. Matt

I'm just wondering what triggers in the Hobbit code is used to make a RED ping status : - after just one no echo-reply each 5min ? - after a couple of no echo-reply ? How much ? - What is the timeout used to declare the host unreachable ? About smokeping : indeed, it looks very nice, I will check it out anyway ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: johan.boye at latecoere.fr [mailto:johan.boye at latecoere.fr] > Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 10:12 AM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] RE: [Disarmed] Re: [hobbit] Hobbit CONN questions > > > -----Message d'origine----- > > De : Josh Luthman [mailto:josh at imaginenetworksllc.com] > > Envoyé : jeudi 8 novembre 2007 16:24 > > À : hobbit at hswn.dk > > Objet : [Disarmed] Re: [hobbit] Hobbit CONN questions > > > > It's very simple.

Is anybody out there monitoring an Oracle Application Server? What software/scripts are you using? In particular I've got a request to monitor the cpu and memory usage of each "container" in the app. server and to alert on a runaway process. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Larry Barber

hobbit-alerts.cfg / hobbit and large files
by Daniel.Hartwig＠telefonica.de 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

hello @ll, I want to change from bb to hobbit. So I would want to know if hobbit can handle large files. I know that bb has problems with large files. My interest in this case predominantly refers to the hobbit-alerts.cfg file. I have 1000-2500 servers and each server has its own warn rule. So the hobbit-alert file would become a large file. Perhaps someone has also many servers and experience with the size of the file. Me interested if hobbit can handle a large file with a good performance? Because BB always made problems with large files. Thanks for your information. Regards, Daniel

problem with CLASS definition
by jonescr＠cisco.com 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

I have a host whose client was started via: "./runclient.sh --class=APP_PRIMARY start" In the hobbit servers hobbit-clients.cfg, I have something similar to: CLASS=APP_PRIMARY PROC "someproc" PROC "/some/other/proc" .... DEFAULT PROC sshd The problem is that only the default proc "sshd" is being checked on the host. The expected behavior is that the CLASS would be used and other other procs checked instead. I know this has nothing to do with the DEFAULT setting, as using HOST=hostname works fine. I just cant get it to check the procs by CLASS. Is there any way to debug this? Shouldn't the CLASS show up in the "info" section? Do I need to put the class name in quotes on the command line? Thanks, -Charles
