Hi all, we manage several hundred hosts, and we?ve noticed when doing
maintenance that requires shutdown/reboot  that occasionally (seldom) on
restart one or more of the memory modules in a given host isn?t
detected.  Sometimes it requires reseating the memory, sometimes just a
reboot, sometimes the memory is bad.  Thus we have a need to write a
script that will check the amount of memory each host sees, and send an
email/alert if its below a given amount.

 
So I thought why not make use of xymon and the memory test you get for
free.  A large percentage of our hosts >60% have exactly 6 GB of memory,
but a large percentage does not.  So I was wondering if there is a way
to make use of the hobbit-clients.cfg script where I could set alert
thresholds for a new external script.

 
The default value for any host would be alert if less than 6.0 GB of
memory is detected, but I could set custom alerts for given hosts that
have more or less than this amount.

 
I don?t believe its possible to use hobbit-client.cfg file in this way,
but wanted to check with the list and hope I?m wrong.

 
Thanks,

Taylor
