inactive user accounts
Hi everyone!
Does Hobbit supports monitoring of behavior of user/email accounts like if the account has been inactive for 30 days? If not, can someone give me any idea on how to do it?
Thanks in advance

I would suggest a custom script run on your email server once every day to send a 'status' message to the hobbit server with a yellow status color and a list of the inactive accounts with their inactive age. Then each day your email admin can look at that status page and use it as a guide to delete long term inactive accounts. You might even apply some logic to the age and size of the email accounts to turn some red.

Hi,
is there any possibility to build a page with some dot's not organized into servers but applications. I think of some hobbit-server-scripts that tests several applications via network onto other hosts.
Something like:
<green> SAP <green> intranet <yellow> CAD <red> FEM ... Ok, I could make one Host Line for my Hobbitserver which runs the tests and add a column for each application. But I find that very ugly. A linebased layout would be much more readable. I could build that page by myself, but how do I add a link (with a status marker) to Hobbit's main page as a group link.
Thank you Thorsten

Don't forget to extend the life of the status message, or you'll get a purple dot:
$BB $BBDISP "status+25h mail,server,com.accounts yellow `date`
xxxxxxx"Catches me nearly every time I do a non-default timing between tests... :)

I generally give myself about 4 extra hours to fix things if something go wrong so mine is 'status+28h'. Then running the script manually the next day will get me a decent report and CRON will get things back into normal timing the day after that.

Hi,
after migrating from BB to Hobbit I see the msgs dot as gray. I read that the Hobbit client does not support msgs tests now. I have Hobbit 4.1.2p1 installed. Is that test supported by the actual Hobbit?
Why is the msgs column there if there is no support for it. How can I hide it? I read something about an option --no-clear-msgs but I don't know where to put it in. If there is no internal msgs support yet, is there some nice custom script which examines all or some logs. Maybe I can use the old BB-msgs test, but if there is something more advanced it would be nice.
BTW.: can someone point me to a good overview about all the parts of hobbit and how they work together. I am missing the big picture. So I often where to do what.
Thank you Thorsten

Upgrade to 4.2.0, both server and client(s).
Also, the "msgs" status will be gray if there are no logfiles monitored (ie you must configure a log-check in the hobbit-clients.cfg file for the msgs status to go green/yellow/red).

You might try:
using a custom script to run "last" command (or parselastlog, depending on your OS)
compare output of above to field #1 in the etc/passwd file(possibly using "diff" or similarr command)
alert on those names that show up in the output of the abovestep
www.deadcat.net <http://www.deadcat.net/> has a few scripts that do almost what you're thinking of, they should be pretty straightforward to modify.
