Thanks very much.

I am running V 4.2.0 and looked through the man pages again and did not see anything. Maybe it was added in 4.3.

This is what I needed.

Thanks

Robert

Hi Robert.

Well, I entered "man hobbit-clients.cfg" from my 4.3.0-0.20080402 installation and got:

++++ SVC STATUS COLUMN SETTINGS (WINDOWS SERVICES) SVC startup status color

   The "svcs" listing sent by the client will be scanned to check

that specific services are run- ning.

   "servicename" is a simple string, in which case this string must

show up in the "svcs" list- ing. Note that servicename is case-sensitive. If "servicename" contains whitespace (blanks or TAB), you must enclose the full string in dou- ble quotes. You cannot use regular expression. Both options startup and status are required and are simple strings, and must show up in the "svcs" listing as StartupType and Status columns.

       SVC Fax startup=manual status=stopped
       SVC MSSQLSERVER startup=automatic status=started

   You can have multiple "SVC" entries for the same host, all of the

checks are merged into the "svcs" status and the most severe check defines the color of the status.

   Example: Check that SQL Server Agent is running:
        SVC SQLSERVERAGENT startup=automatic status=started

color=yellow

   Defaults:
        color="red".
        Note that no service are checked by default.

++++

Here is a working example:

++++ HOST=BLAHUNGA UP 1h SVC "Apache2" startup=automatic status=started color=red PROC pageant.exe 1 1 LOAD 80 95 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 90 101 MEMSWAP 80 90 MEMACT 90 97 ++++

Where can I find information on how to configure hobbit-clients.cfg to monitor BBWin svcs entries?

Thanks

To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

I was looking thought the hobbit archives and came across an example of how to setup hobbit-client.cfg to monitor the svcs. I have look through the documentation, BBWin forum, and the hobbit archive and found only one reference. So here is what I found and it seems to work.

SVC AGDIGESTSVC startup=automatic status=started color=red

If someone can tell me where I can get more information or documentation on the SVC it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your help.

Robert, I don't do anything on the server side. BBWin just sends its stuff to the server and the server reports on it.

I have to say installing BBwin was as easy. I just followed the direction in http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/ for V4.2. I guess it would have been easier if I was running V4.3. I had to tweak the BBwin.cfg file but again nothing major.

One thing that made it easier for me is that I have cygwin installed on my W2K3 client. The BBWin.cfg and the tmp/msg. files are not very readable with notepad and so I just used the UNIX vi and did all my work within cygwin window.

Again the only problem that I had was not finding information on the format of the SVC line for hobbit-client.cfg and this seems to be resolved in V4.3

Thanks again.

I guess it would be helpful if there was a one stop wiki article on how to setup centralized mode for BBwin and hobbit. I'm planning to do the same thing once my workload is lightened, but I want more information on configuration before I start messing around with this stuff. Anyone have a suggestion? I might solve a lot of questions if there was examples on this.
