At the top of your $SERVER_HOME/etc/hobbt-clients.cfg file, you can have a "default" setting. Here's mine:
DEFAULT UP 10m DISK / 95 97 DISK /tmp 95 97 FILE /var/log/messages TRACK=syslog "TEXT=Syslog Size" PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=0 max=20 color=yellow TRACK=ssh "TEXT=SSH logins"
Most any value can be set default across all hosts from here. The documentation is in this file at the top.
I think that's what you're asking for.

Hello all,
I've been trying to find a way to set my uptime reporting option globally but I can't find a way. I know I can do it individually with each monitored servers bbwin.cfg file and setting a maxdelay, but does anyone know of a way to do it globally? I know I can eliminate the column, but we do want to see recent reboots while we don't want to see servers that have been up "too long" on the bb2 page.
Much appreciated! Dan

I know this is not related to hobbit but I had a problem where my web pages stopped updating and histlogs stopped writing.
I checked my server disk space with df -h and it showed 3.6gb free on my root filesystem where hobbit lives.
I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.
I discovered after a little troubleshooting that I was actually out of space even though I supposedly had a few gig free.
I was able to clean up space and get my system running fine, but I'm baffled at why this happened. I can't find anything on the web about it.
Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?
Thanks, Dan

Try df -i - it sounds like you may have run out of i-nodes.
I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.
One of the reasons I never ran hobbit/xymon in the root filesystem - xymon can create a very large number of small files, and this can eat i-nodes faster than it eats disk space. Depending on OS and local preference, I'd suggest making an /opt or /usr//local filesystem with a higher number of i-nodes per block and run xymon in that filesystem.

Hmm... Murphy's law... As soon as I reach out for help, I find something that might work.
I'm going to try setting fs.file-max=301472 in /etc/sysctl.conf to increase what must be the default of 101472 for the ext3 filesystem on this version of linux.
Unless someone has a better idea?

That controls the number of files that can be open concurrently - it's a memory usage control, and won't affect disk usage.

To the best of my knowledge, the only Linux filesystem that handles this well is reiserfs and that's been deprecated. The only way to set the inode ratio is at file system create/format time. So in your case, this is indeed a "do- over'. And you will not want to set the bytes per inode up significantly on root (/), /usr, or /tmp - which is why I suggested /opt or /usr/local as filesystems to run xymon.

Personally, I prefer XFS as filesystem on "large" filesystems, including those that I use for storing Xymon data. So far I've been running out of space before I ran out of i-nodes. If need be, I believe it can be tuned without having to re-format the filesystem.
Regards, Henrik
Thanks for the help!
I was able to give myself some time by writing a script to enter all my server directories and kill all my msgs files since they were taking up 65% of my inodes.
I'll take your advice when I upgrade to xymon and rebuild with your suggested disk configuration.
Thanks again, Dan

To the best of my knowledge, the only Linux filesystem that handles this well is reiserfs and that's been deprecated. The only way to set the inode ratio is at file system create/format time. So in your case, this is indeed a "do- over'. And you will not want to set the bytes per inode up significantly on root (/), /usr, or /tmp - which is why I suggested /opt or /usr/local as filesystems to run xymon.

This is probably a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find documentation on what the defaults are and how to change settings for xymon test refresh times. Is there a way to set how often a test is performed? And is there also a way to change the refresh rate on the browser window?
Thanks so much! Dan

Apparently GMail does not strictly follow what looks to be RFC 822. I think a lot of companies go for what is most convenient to the user over what is most correct/predictable.
If you go for the message source, you'll see the "In-reply-to:" header which most mail readers will observe.

Ryan, please consider using as boilerplate your much friendlier and more explanatory recent message to such an inadvertent offender:
"Please do not thread hijack. When you take a message, remove the contents and change the subject line and send it, it still retains header information that ties it to other messages (and is now interleaving it with an involved discussion about managing shifts).

For the tests running on the Xymon server (i.e. network checks), this is controlled by the INTERVAL setting for the network test task in tasks.cfg (previously: hobbitlaunch.cfg). Same file controls how often the webpages are generated.
Clients manage how often they run their checks - Unix-like systems running the Xymon client have their own tasks.cfg file; other clients use different ways of configuring the update interval.

Yep, that's it. I learned something new today.
Thank you very much!
One more thing to consider for future reference is that a percentage (default 5% for ext2/3) of the available space will be reserved for root. So you may show some free space but the xymon user can not use any of it.
