custom scripts

1.
Look at http://xymon.com/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh
172.16.10.5 miro.hswn.dk # ssh http://miro.hswn.dk/

Then look at the miro.hswn.dk server under the http column here:
http://xymon.com/hobbit/servers/servers.html

Just put your information in.  No custom script needed.

2.
I can't help with custom scripts but the document expressed you need to...

# Tell Hobbit about it
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`

and you have not done that in your script - that's definitely a concern.
Perhaps looking at other scripts will help you - these are on the Deadcat
and Xymonton here:

 I am a newbie to Hobbit, and this is probably a simple question to
answer. Here is what I’m trying to do:


I have custom scripts I need to incorporate to Hobbit. I saw the page
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-tips.html#scripts but I still
don’t completely understand it. If I could get 1 of my scripts set up, then
I can probably figure out how to do the rest.


I have 2 types of custom scripts: client and server. Here is an example of
each. I just need to know exactly how the script would be set up. Note, I
had these running on Nagios before:


1. (server) this is the custom script we ran on our old monitoring
(nagios):

#!/bin/sh


WEB_CHECK=`curl http://www.example.com | grep value | wc -l`


if [ $WEB_CHECK -eq 1 ]

   then

        echo "Result OK"

else

        echo "Failed"

        exit 2

fi


Question: Need to know how to incorporate this on the hobbit server, and
where it would show on the GUI?


2. (client) this is custom script that used “NRPE” on nagios:

- I have a script that runs on 3 clients, let’s call it /usr/local/sbin/
script.pl

- this script returns an output of a number

- on the hobbit server, I want to be get the result of this script for each
client, add them together, then alert based on the number. So here is the
script I had on the Nagios server:

#!/bin/sh

# Script to check transactions on ecom-1/2


THRESHOLD=1

SERVER1=`ssh server1 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl`

SERVER2=`ssh server2 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl`

SERVER3=`ssh server3 /usr/local/nrpe/script.pl`


TOTAL=`expr $SERVER1 + $SERVER2 + $SERVER3`


if [ $TOTAL -lt $THRESHOLD ] ; then

     echo "Number ($TOTAL) Failed"

     exit 2

else

     echo "Number ($TOTAL) Success"

     exit 0

fi


Question: How would I incorporate that in Hobbit?


Thanks!
