These weren't on separate pages per OS.

I hadn't seen the CLASS values you can base rules on. Works great though as I can put the defaults back down for UNIX and set high windows class ones based on the percentage.

Thanks,

Craig

I don't use this setting myself, but BBWin.cfg has a configclass entry that defaults to "win32". You can use CLASS variables in hobbit-clients on the server to apply rules to clients based on that value. If win32 is too generic you can change it to, for example, win32_XXX.

Is there a way to change the windows 'load' to be 'load percentage' or something so each type of box is using a different monitoring type? I know there were discussions about having UNIX boxes sending in a load percentage but that this was a difficult thing to achieve correctly.

Our hostnames are normally dictated by service rather than platform unfortunately so I can't always just put so8/w2k etc pcre expressions in the thresholds to differentiate OS type.

Do you have the windows servers on a different page to the UNIX / linux ones? You can use the PAGE statement for that.

You may also be able to use it based on client but personally i have not used it
