1. Look at http://xymon.com/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh 172.16.10.5 miro.hswn.dk # ssh http://miro.hswn.dk/

Then look at the miro.hswn.dk server under the http column here: http://xymon.com/hobbit/servers/servers.html

Just put your information in. No custom script needed.

2. I can't help with custom scripts but the document expressed you need to...

Tell Hobbit about it

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date

and you have not done that in your script - that's definitely a concern. Perhaps looking at other scripts will help you - these are on the Deadcat and Xymonton here: http://www.deadcat.net/ http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php

I am a newbie to Hobbit, and this is probably a simple question to answer. Here is what I’m trying to do:

I have custom scripts I need to incorporate to Hobbit. I saw the page http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-tips.html#scripts but I still don’t completely understand it. If I could get 1 of my scripts set up, then I can probably figure out how to do the rest.

I have 2 types of custom scripts: client and server. Here is an example of each. I just need to know exactly how the script would be set up. Note, I had these running on Nagios before:

1. (server) this is the custom script we ran on our old monitoring (nagios):

#!/bin/sh

WEB_CHECK=curl http://www.example.com | grep value | wc -l

if [ $WEB_CHECK -eq 1 ]

then

    echo "Result OK"

else

    echo "Failed"

    exit 2

fi

Question: Need to know how to incorporate this on the hobbit server, and where it would show on the GUI?

2. (client) this is custom script that used “NRPE” on nagios:

• I have a script that runs on 3 clients, let’s call it /usr/local/sbin/ script.pl

• this script returns an output of a number

• on the hobbit server, I want to be get the result of this script for each client, add them together, then alert based on the number. So here is the script I had on the Nagios server:

#!/bin/sh

Script to check transactions on ecom-1/2

THRESHOLD=1

SERVER1=ssh server1 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl

SERVER2=ssh server2 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl

SERVER3=ssh server3 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl

TOTAL=expr $SERVER1 + $SERVER2 + $SERVER3

if [ $TOTAL -lt $THRESHOLD ] ; then

 echo "Number ($TOTAL) Failed"

 exit 2

else

 echo "Number ($TOTAL) Success"

 exit 0

fi

Question: How would I incorporate that in Hobbit?

Thanks!
