BBWin Ext Scripts after 30min are unavaliable

Hi Greg,

thank you for your support, it gave me the right direction! =D

I found out that this lifetime in the scripts should look like this:

$BB $BBDISP "status+70 $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` OK"


but the Windows .vbs scripts dont give such parameters back to
hobbit-server... I just dont know how to implement this "status+time" in the
vbs scripts...

another thing is that the column dont get purple but black!


Thanks

 By default, the Hobbit server expects your tests to update at least once
every 30 minutes.  This is the LIFETIME parameter.  After "LIFETIME" expires
with no updates the server marks the test "purple" and sends an alert.

The fix is simple -- in your script you need to send a LIFETIME value when
you send your status message.  If you test once every day, you need to
calculate LIFETIME as 24 * 60 + some extra in case your test is delayed from
some reason.

You can read about this in the man pages for the "bb" command (Xymon
communications program).

Hi guys,

im monitoring with some external scripts on my BBWin and when i try to set
up the "check time" higher (like one time a day) I noticed that the column
get unavaliable after 30 minutes for this client.

Is it a know issue?

I also tryed to put this paragraphs (i readed it here somewhere) in the
hobbit-client.cfg:

MAXMSG_DATA="5242880"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="5242880"
MAXMSG_STATUS="5242880"


Nothing works... do i have to setup something else on server/client side?

TIA
