Hi Henrik
I would like to propose a possible new feature. In the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server, we can specify default threshholds for most things, but the selection is based on hostname.
Is there a way to specify the machine architecture as an identifier. (uname -n
To give an example, I run a mixed bag of Sun T2000, V440, V490, and X4?00 servers. Because of what we are running on each server type, we find a large run queue on the T2000 is quite normal, but on one of the others, we expect a very small run queue. Instead of defining runqueue threshhold per host name, it would be nice to have a ARCH option which could be overridden by the HOST
So we could define
ARCH=x86_64 # Linux LOAD 5.0 10
ARCH=i86pc # Solaris on x86 LOAD 6 12
ARCH=SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise # A solaris 10 zone LOAD 8 12
ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490 # A Sun V490 LOAD 6 9
ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 # A T2000 reports as T200 - don't ask! LOAD 15 25
However, if further down the list we had a HOST server01 we could redefine the LOAD, despite it being a T2000.
HOST=server01 LOAD 10 15
The utility of this would mean I don't have to define every host inividually, but Of course, we could also use the same definitions for OS as returned by uname -s SunOS, Linux etc. (I see you use this in the client scripts) It would be nice to have that flexibility in the configs.
