Do whatever you need to test for something

As an example, go red if /tmp/badstuff exists.

if [ $TESTVAL -eq 0 ] then COLOR=red MSG="${MSG}

LDAP Configureation and Connectivity is BORKED UP

else MSG="${MSG}

LDAP Configureation and Connectivity is OK
"

fi

Tell Hobbit about it

$BB $BBDISP "status+9h $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date

${MSG} "

exit 0

And the following is our clientlocal.sh portion for this script:

LDAP Check - This command makes sure that this box is connected to

the MGS LDAP Server [ldap-con] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/getent.sh LOGFILE $HOB$HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/ldap.log INTERVAL 4h

See all the fun stuff one can do with Xymon?

Yeah, that's it's usage.

So, I guess from time to time the clients have issues hitting the server?

Never thought to test in that direction.

We wanted to test the connectivity from the LDAP clients (running a xymon agent) to the LDAP server and report their connectivity status.

It appears (at least from what I read) that the LDAP module is a test from the Hobbit/XYmon Server to the LDAP server.

Hobbit has a built in LDAP test if I remember correctly. Was it not serving your needs?

Hi,

Could you share your script on xymonton ?

Regards, Damien

Thank you for the code, but I think it should be very nice to share on xymonton, in order to allow any other ppl to use your script, instead of rewriting one from scratch. It should also allow you to be contacted if bugs or code optimization have been found
