Hi Colin
We did something similar at previous client we know too well. :-) It's called a combo-test. Look for "Combination Tests" under the man pages.
What you need to do is define a new test. Call it "Cluster" for lack of a better name. You then define servername.Cluster=(insert logical arguments here) into bbcombotest.cfg This will generate a new test which is dependant on the logic you define. The server name doesn't even need to exist. So you can define your combo test as cluster.app=(logic) This will send the results of a new test "app" as if it came from a new server called "cluster" You then add cluster to bb-hosts as follows 0.0.0.0 Cluster # noconn Very powerful, and the man page does explain it fairly well.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers Vernon

Hi all
I'm trying to do a depends-like test for processes. What I'd like is ensure that process foo is running on one of four hosts, if the process is running on more than one host or on none, a red flag should be raised.
Has anyone done this previously?
Thanks
