Hello All,
I’ve got a question… And I apologize ahead of time if it’s been covered already.
We have been running bb/hobbit for some time. First it was on UNIX only, because the windows admins didn’t like it. Then our execs saw it, and liked it. They then mandated that all systems will be monitored by hobbit.
Here’s where the problem starts. Windows has been generating a lot of red events. The execs overreact to red events that are really not problems. We’ve tired to explain that just because something is red, doesn’t mean that a system is down. The windows admins are tuning it down as best as they can, but it still happens.
So my thought was to have two hobbit’s, one that receives client data for our engineers to see and work with, and then another that just does the network tests, and this would be what our execs see. Both would be sitting on the same server, running in separate directories, and separate virtual servers. What I’m trying to get to is two views, an executive view, and a technical view.
Has anyone done something like this? Is there a better way within hobbit itself?
Perhaps you should leave things as thy are, as a (not so) subtle reminder of the fickleness of Windows servers
