Hi Group,

How do i add a new column in my hobbit server?

Just send an update about the column.

How do i enable the clients to report on this column? write a plug-in that sends a report about it.

For example, I have the dnsload extention. I added this to /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg on my DNS servers: [dnsload] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bbdl-stats.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbitclient.log INTERVAL 5m

the bbdl-stats.sh file does a bunch of stuff and reports:

LINE="status $HOST.$TEST $COLOR date $MESSAGE"

Send message

$BB $BBDISP "$LINE"

Could someone help me on this please?

You can report any $TEST name you might want, and Xymon will happily track it.
