Here at RIT, we have 2 qpage servers. I've modified the qpage code for all the clients to point to qpage1.rit.edu and qpage2.rit.edu (hardcoded). We've also change the "timeout" inside the code. The way it did work for primary/secondary qpage servers was that it would fail over to the 2nd server if the 1st did not respond...it the server was completely down, it would take 2 minutes for the TCP connection to timeout. We've since changed it to about 15 seconds. I can provide a copy of the code if anyone would like it.

Attached is a qpage external script we use to page out the alerts. It would just need adjusting for the different items you have at your site. Then you just add into the hobbit-alerts.cfg file:

HOST=vmz01 SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/qpage.pl etmsys COLOR=red,yellow REPEAT=5 RECOVERED

Add in other actions to take as well.

We install the qpage client in /usr/local/bin/qpage on all the clients, however it's the hobbit server (as a qpage client) that does the paging out.

Hi,

We are moving from BB to Hobbit.

We are using qpage to send out pages from BB to a remote system which is running qpage.

We would like to keep the qpage and modem on the same server, but the Hobbit server is running on a different system.

Any idea how we can send alerts from Hobbit to a remote qpage server?

Thanks, Liora
