Henrik or someone else might have another answer but I always find that things work better for the "bb" command on the hobbit server when I specify the actual hostname of the Hobbit server that all the clients report to, as opposed to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1.

With regard to your second question, all services can be monitored on alternate ports simply by appending them to the check in the bb-hosts fike as follows:

oratns 		- specifies the default port of 1521
oratns:1526	- specifies an alternate port of 1526

Hi Henrik

This bug might be corrected in the latest version (I am still on 4.0.5RC1) So please ignore this if it is.

If we enable the oratns test, everything is good. However, it refuses to go away when I try and remove it.

First I removed it from the bb-hosts file, then used the command ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME oratns"

All the history and stuff gets deleted, which is good. However, the rrd file stays, and so does the smiley. I will not go away. It keeps reporting. After a while, it goes purple but it's still there.

On a similar note, if for some reason one of my servers has the listener on port 1522 instead of the default 1521, is there a way to specify what port to check on? Or even specify 2 ports, and report green if it finds the listener on either?

Regards Veron

The version you're running does have a bug that can cause hobbitd to crash when removing a host or a test. This has been fixed in 4.1.1. I think that is why you keep seeing the status icon for the test.

As Werner wrote, the rrd files are not removed when you drop a single test - only when an entire host is removed.

oratns:1522

Or even specify 2 ports, and report green if it finds the listener on either?

No.
