Hi,
I'm running Hobbit snapshot as of 9/3. I got few questions.
In what situations, I need to restart something to make configuration works? It's not clear to me that whether to restart foo after modifying bar.cfg.
According to FAQ, it says after a network test is failed, it will retry every 1 minute until 30 minutes later. Does the failure means red? If so, how about yellow?
Is is possible to postpone some network tests after the target machine is up for 5 minutes or so? The reason is that some daemon does not start up (yet) when the machine can response ping. I don't want to get false alert for this.
A possible workaround is to use badXXX tag in bb-hosts. But I wonder if there is a better way?
Is it possible to generate PDF reports? I saw it on demo site but it seems malfunction. Maybe I think I can generate one from the spreadsheet :-)
Thanks, Rong-En Fan

You only need to restart Hobbit if you modify the hobbitserver.cfg file. All other configuration changes will be picked up automatically without any restart.

"Failed" means anything that is not green: Red, yellow or clear.

No.

Oops, didn't mean to leave that in there. It was a completely separate tool - nothing to do with Hobbit - that I tried using. http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php if you're interested.
Hobbit doesn't generate PDF reports, but you can generate HTML reports and use some tool to convert them to PDF; or make your own reports from the data you get from the CSV file.

Hi,
Thanks for you kindly reply :-) I got another questions,
I'm using badTEST in bb-hosts. My question is that does badfoo includes badfoos (e.g. badsmtp includes badsmtps?)
I'm using bbgen to build pre-generated reports. From manual of bbgen, there is an example about typical script to do this. My question is that when invoke bbgen does it read variables from hobbitservers? If not, how can I do that?
Thanks, Rong-En Fan

No, you'll have to list each of them separately.

Run it via "bbcmd", i.e.
bbcmd --env=/home/hobbit/servers/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
bbgen --reportopts=... [all the other bbgen options]
