Is there a difference between MEMSWAP and SWAP? If not, why is it listed twice in the defaults? If so, what is the difference?
As far as I have read the documentation you can use either keyword. SWAP is just three letters shorter than MEMSWAP (according to documentation you can use either MEMPHYS, PHYS, MEMACT, ACT, MEMSWAP and SWAP).
Unfortunately I can't find any details about what the default names of the "classes named by the operating system" are, so I don't know which strings to put after "CLASS=" in my hobbit-clients.cfg file. Is there a list somewhere?
CLASS is up to you to define. You could use it to classify and group togehter simlar systems in i.e. hobbit-clients.cfg (the most practical place to use this flag).
On the clients define CLASS=webfront and in your hobbit-clients.cfg write this:
CLASS=webfront PROC java PROC httpd 10
You could achive the same thing using regexp, like:
HOST=%web(1-9).mydomain.com PROC java PROC httpd 10
Which soultion you use depends more on what you feels are the most practiacal solution.
- There are a couple columns in the default configuration that I don't want, like "files". On the page in question, the status icon for every system is "clear" (white). I want to use the "drop" option to the bb command to do this. I issued this command for every host on the page in question:
You've got many suggestions already, but I have one more solution: update your clientdata channel, this is what my channel looks like:
[clientdata] ENVFILE /home/hobbitd/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log hobbitd_client --no-clear-msgs --no-clear-files --no-clear-ports
This tells hobbitd_client to not generate CLEAR status if no test data is defined for MSGS, FILES or PORTS.
All of the above implies that you use central configuration.
