Hi guys,

just like we use the file hobbit-clients.cfg to manage DISK, CPU,
PROCS etc. for each client, we would like to have a centralized
configuration for the external scripts.

So far I tested two things:

1)  Server-side check:
bb-hosts entry (for the external scripts), additional code entry in
the external scripts (for bbhostgrep), etc.

Problem: this seems to work only with "Network checks" which will be
done from Server-side to check the clients, like advanced
ftp/ping/ssh script etc. It doesnt work for scripts, wich have to
run on the clients, like mysql checks.


2) ONHOST:
the entry ONHOST in the hobbitlaunch.cfg.

Problem: this is not working for me... i tought with this entry
Hobbit would be able to issue an order to the client and then
execute the command in the client, but when looking into the
logfiles, i see that Hobbit have to find the external script on the
Hobbit-Server (i think its the same result as in Problem 1). I
tought it would work as a "bb-bbextab"... but the MAN Pages says it
has to be configured on the server....

I also feel confused... We use ONHOST but in clientlaunch.cfg (which is centrally managed). Don't know why the ONHOST keyword is described in hobbitlaunch.cfg.

Example:

[localtest] ONHOST hostname1|hostname2|hostname3 ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/localtest.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/localtest.log INTERVAL 5m
