Hi all
We have a number of teams, with a large number of servers per team, and I wanted to give each more autonomy over how they set up their Hobbit sub-page. (Also means less work for me)
Same needs here.
I was thinking of having a separate bb-hosts, hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg for each team, and then include in the case of bb-hosts or run a cron job to concatenate the files, in the case of the others.
To my knowledge and practice, only bb-hosts support "include" directive. not hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg. I wish these two cfg files support include also.
Is there a way to "sanity check" any of these files before exposing hobbit to them?
So far, I am using "beacon" approach by bringing down a vmware session's interface for 6 minutes to trigger alarm at certain time each day.
This beacon approach will ensure lots of components in hobbit system monitoring system are functional.

I would probably need to remove the <CR><LF>, which is pretty easy, but are there any other sanity checks available?
Regards Vernon
