First, many thanks for creating and maintaning Hobbit, a first-class product !!!
Got a question about running a stand-by (or secondary) hobbit server, let say, I'm not ready/prepare to run a linux cluster, and would like a backup server, just in case the primary server, serverA, is down (due to failure or maintenance).
So, I could just change serverB ip addr and name and reboot to become the parimary.
hobbit-clients
BBDISPLAY="1.2.3.4"
hobbit-serverA (1.2.3.4) BBSERVERIP="1.2.3.4" BBPROXY="5.6.7.8"
hobbit-serverB (5.6.7.8) BBSERVERIP="5.6.7.8"

why don't you set up two hobbits servers (with perhaps an rsync script to synchronize automatically the conf) ?
you'll have two hobbit servers running in the same time (which can lead to duplicate alerts, but it's sometimes better to be alerted two times).

That's what I'm doing currently. Getting rid of alerts is simple, just disable the hobbitd_alert module on one of the servers. Should that server fail, you can quickly enable it on the backup server.

Hi all, I use a hobbit client on a linux server, but for some reason it doesn't make sense to monitor the memory usage. I can't seem to find a way not to monitore one of the "base" tests of the linux hobbit client, like memory for instance. I could use a "group-except" in the bb-host file, but I don't like the idea of the memory being monitored but not displayed, I'd really like it not to be tested at all. Any idea how to do this ? Thanks. Xavier

Hi,
how about putting a '--ignorecolumns=memory' in hobbitserver.cfg BBGENOPTS="--recent-gifs .... --ignorecolumns=memory" It's around line 224

Hmmm that may be an idea, but wouldn't that whipe the memory column for all my server ? I monitor about 3000 servers and for only 2 or 3 of them, i don't want to test the memory.

Add NOCOLUMNS:memory to the host definition in bb-hosts, wait 10 minutes (or until the column goes purple) and then drop the memory column with the usual bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOST memory" command.
