Greg, I try to understand router tag, but it is not clear to me from documentation: Man page: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html or Wikibook:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/Administratio n_
Guide
I have now monitoring the 'gateway' (conn), but how I notice hobbit and other servers checks that 'gateway' is the first router?
Can you please paste here a example configuration?
Scenario:
You have a remote network in which you want to monitor host(s). You reach this network via router1 on the remote site. So your definition will be like this:
x.x.x.x somehost # route:router1
This tag changes the color reported for a ping check that fails, when one or more of the hosts in the "route" list is also down. A "red" status becomes "yellow" - other colors are unchanged. The status message will include information about the hosts in the router-list that are down, to aid tracking down which router is the root cause of the problem.
