Make sure your clients are reporting and are using the same name as Hobbit is expecting. It sounds like Hobbit hasn't gotten any fresh reports from your clients, the status will stay blue until a new report comes in.

Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi all,

I recently disabled a couple of tests when I had some issues with the

WinBB

client. Now that I have fixed the problem with the WinBB client, and re enabled the tests, I am still getting a BLUE status icon, and it has been like that for days. Any suggestions?

Version of Hobbit? Anything in the logs?

BBWin is not executing the script for the tests, but I can not figure out why! I call all of my scripts, three on this box, using one CMD file. All scripts are in the ext directory, and I edited the registry so that the BB client externals path is set to the BBWIN\tmp directory. If I execute the CMD file manually, it all works fine.

Here is my script, which is saved as a CMD file

cd D:\Program Files\BBWin\ext cscript //b bbsav.vbs cscript //b iis-check.vbs cscript //b exchange.vbs

Here is my BBWIN config file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <bbwin> <setting name="hostname" value="winserver01.stenhouse.local" /> <setting name="timer" value="300" /> <setting name="bbdisplay" value="10.254.254.10:1984" /> <load name="cpu" value="cpu.dll" /> <load name="disk" value="disk.dll" /> <load name="externals" value="externals.dll" /> <load name="procs" value="procs.dll" /> <load name="memory" value="memory.dll" /> <load name="stats" value="stats.dll" /> <load name="uptime" value="uptime.dll" /> <setting name="loglevel" value="4" /> <setting name="logpath" value="C:\bblogs\BBWin.log" /> </bbwin> <cpu> <setting name="default" warnlevel="80%" paniclevel="95%" /> </cpu> <disk> <setting name="default" warnlevel="90%" paniclevel="95%" /> <setting name="D" warnlevel="90%" paniclevel="95%" /> <setting name="C" warnlevel="90%" paniclevel="95%" /> </disk> <externals> <setting name="logstimer" value="60" /> <load value="cmd.exe /C bbexternals.cmd" timer="300" /> </externals> <memory> <setting name="physical" warnlevel="95%" paniclevel="98%" /> <setting name="virtual" warnlevel="80%" paniclevel="90%" /> </memory> <procs> <setting name="dns" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="inetinfo" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="retroclient" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="services" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="snmp" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="w3wp" rule="=2" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <setting name="wins" rule="=1" alarmcolor="yellow" /> </procs> <uptime> <setting name="delay" value="30m" /> <setting name="alarmcolor" value="yellow" /> </uptime> </configuration>

After enabling it, you will see the status remain blue until an update is sent by the client. So if your server is down (or the WinBB client is not running), the status will remain blue even though it has been re-enabled.

If you go look at the detailed status, does it say "disabled until ...." at the top of the status page ? If it does, then Hobbit still considers it disabled. If not, then it is just waiting for an update.

Eteinen,

You were absolutely correct. Thank you. When I looked at the prepackaged config file that came with BBWIN, it looked to me like it should have defaulted to the EXT directory when attempting to load scripts, hence I did not include the full path.

Looking forward to install BBWIN 0.7 today. Any tricks or traps to know about before hand?

Hi Dave,

I may know why your external command is not executed.

Could you tell me where is located bbexternals.cmd file ?

The current path for BBWin when it is running is the bin directory so, if bbexternals.cmd is not in the bbwin bin directory or in one of the environment paths, then, it will fail.

If bbexternals.cmd is in ext directory, you should try this :

<load value='cmd.exe /C "D:\Program Files\BBWin\ext\bbexternals.cmd"' timer="300" />

Let me know if it worked.

Regards,

Eteinen.
