Hi list,
Not sure if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything in the archives and there is nothing in the MAN page...
We're running 4.2.3 so I'll be speaking in old hobbit filenames.
We have a number of development servers that we want to monitor when they are online, but it is not essential that they are always online, so they are flagged with the "dialup" flag in bb-hosts.
We have some external scripts which use bbhostgrep to poll bb-hosts to determine which hosts to run the tests on. This is fine when they are online, but when a dialup host goes offline it's status goes "clear". "bbhostgrep --no-down" seems to include "clear" conn hosts in the list of hosts to test so the test still get attempted against a host which is now no longer online.
Without having to code in extra ping checks into our scripts am I missing something? or is this a bug. I would have expected "bbhostgrep --no-down" to return only non-RED conn hosts.
Thanks
Steve
