My Hobbit server does the display, network testing and alerting. Using the default 5 minute interval for network tests. Some have complained that connectivity tests to certain routers should happen more frequently. But, as far as I can see, network testing interval is an all or nothing variable. So I'm thinking of setting up second network tester and using NET variable in bb-hosts to have the particular routers in question tested by second network tester, running its tests more frequently.
Preamble done - now, how do I go about setting up second network tester? Configuring another server and disabling all unnecessary tasks in hobbitlaunch.cfg? If so, which will I need for the tester to work properly?
Just the bbnet and bbretest tasks (and, maybe hobbitfetch if applicable), and the hobbitclient task if you want the second network tester to report as a client.
