Hi all, we manage several hundred hosts, and we?ve noticed when doing maintenance that requires shutdown/reboot that occasionally (seldom) on restart one or more of the memory modules in a given host isn?t detected. Sometimes it requires reseating the memory, sometimes just a reboot, sometimes the memory is bad. Thus we have a need to write a script that will check the amount of memory each host sees, and send an email/alert if its below a given amount.
So I thought why not make use of xymon and the memory test you get for free. A large percentage of our hosts >60% have exactly 6 GB of memory, but a large percentage does not. So I was wondering if there is a way to make use of the hobbit-clients.cfg script where I could set alert thresholds for a new external script.
The default value for any host would be alert if less than 6.0 GB of memory is detected, but I could set custom alerts for given hosts that have more or less than this amount.
I don?t believe its possible to use hobbit-client.cfg file in this way, but wanted to check with the list and hope I?m wrong.
Thanks,
Taylor
