Hi all
Here's one that's got me stumped. All the Hobbit docs and list information states that if we monitor a host with a dynamic (DHCP assigned) IP address, we put it into bb-hosts as 0.0.0.0 server01 # Other stuff here.
Ok, not a problem. Been there, done that got the T-shirt.
Now, if a host need to appear twice (or more), in 2 different pages or groups, for instance, then the first entry in bb-hosts is supposed to be
1.2.3.4 server02 # Other stuff here and the second (and subsequent) appearance should be 0.0.0.0 server02 # Other stuff
Also all good. Got a few T-shirts for that too.
Now for what I am trying to do. A host with a dynamic (DHCP assigned) IP address needs to appear twice. So I thought we follow the pattern. First entry 0.0.0.0 server03 # Subsewunt entries 0.0.0.0 server03 #
Looks too easy. Well, it is too easy. Now on the hobbit server, bbtest is yellow, and the gives the message Error output: Host server03 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results Any ideas how to get round that? The only other factors that might be relevant are
- All the servers appear a second time in bb-hosts include file.
- All of these hosts are Windows machines, running bbwin.
All assistance greatly appreciated.
