Unsure if anyone interested, but for general FYI, I got beastat.pl working on the Hobbit client(s) by (in addtion to doing everything suggested in supplied documentation):

On Hobbit server, modify bb-hosts to look like:

BEA Servers

0.0.0.0 prdAcrm1_01.crmServer # noconn 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm2_01.crmServer # noconn 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm3_01.crmServer # noconn 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm4_01.crmServer # noconn

On Hobbit client to run the Weblogic tests now, modify bb-hosts:

BEA Servers

0.0.0.0 prdAcrm1_01 # noconn nodisp beastat 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm1_01.crmServer # noconn beaping 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm2_01 # noconn nodisp beastat 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm2_01.crmServer # noconn beaping 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm3_01 # noconn nodisp beastat 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm3_01.crmServer # noconn beaping 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm4_01 # noconn nodisp beastat 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm4_01.crmServer # noconn beaping

Edit Hobbit_fd_lib.pm, find and comment out line:

From:

&check_env_var("BBVAR",1);

To:

#&check_env_var("BBVAR",1);

Edit beastat.pl, and in "sub get_bea_state"

Below line:

    foreach $line (@serverlist) {

Insert the following 2 lines:

            $line =~ s/^\s+//g;
            $line =~ s/\s+$//g;

so, you should have:

    foreach $line (@serverlist) {
            $line =~ s/^\s+//g;
            $line =~ s/\s+$//g;

Find this line a little farther down, and comment it out:

From:

($servstate) = ($status =~ /.*(Current.*"$line".*)\n.*/);

To:

#($servstate) = ($status =~ /.*(Current.*"$line".*)\n.*/);

And put the following line below it (above commented out line) or in

it's place (don't think it's really needed but didn't want to trace through everything, so put it just in case:

$servstate = $status . "\n";

A wee bit farther down, change this line:

From:

$text_event = "$servstate";

To:

$text_event = "$status\n";

Well, not to flog road-kill, but it was only lightning in a bottle. Got it to work for one BEA server instance on the client, and can't duplicate for other BEA instance on that client.

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks Doug

I got it working. The key was to include in client's (papp01) Hobbit bb-hosts the hostname of the server (papp01) where the BEA Weblogic instance resides, so I have the following in the client's (papp01) Hobbit's bb-hosts:

Servers

144.163.58.57 papp01 # ssh ntp

BEA Servers

0.0.0.0 prdAcrm1_01 # noconn nodisp beastat 0.0.0.0 prdAcrm1_01.crmServer # noconn beaping

And all of the above also in the Hobbit Server's bb-hosts

Not sure if commenting out the BBVAR check is the expected way to get it past the missing BBVAR check, but it works.

Thanks Doug
