progress on bb replacement
Hello list,
We're still moving forward on our hobbit testing, and have pointed some unix bb clients to the hobbit servers, with excellent results. I'm still finding my way around hobbit, but I was able to modify the external scripts template to test a remote mysql server without too much problem, and I'm happy with the results.
As for the failover, the scripts Henrik quickly contributed are good, but I'm really thinking that the distributed alerting mechanism in the next hobbit release is exactly what we're looking for, so hopefully that will be soon.
The only real hole left is the snmp traps that bb sends out along with every email alert. Our company relies on the snmp traps sent from bb to netcool to provide official notification of issues. All we really need is some sort of external package which could send an snmp trap along with every single email alert that's sent. Does anybody here have such a setup working? hints? clue-by-four?
Happy Thanksgiving,
Joe

How about using a script instead (of email) and have that script handle both sending an email and generating the required trap?
