Hi,
Is it possible to have hobbit to monitor the following
Theoretically, it is possible to monitor anything using hobbit
, if yes How do I go about configuring it -hardware if possible (fans, temps) -raid status -dns resolvability -ethernet connectivity status -check if updates are available
But as you point out here, how can you go about doing it? Well, I would say that if you have command line tools to monitor these devices (for hardware, raid, ethernet and updates this should be fairly straight forward). For DNS I guess a simple dig could do the job, although I am sure hobbit contains a DNS check, although this is more is the DNS server working.
The main thing is that you will have to script up the tests yourself. You can see the basic outline of how to do this in the help pages supplied by hobbit in tricks and tips, custom scripts
Cheers and good luck
