How much work is the server doing?? The company that just laid me off has an old single-cpu, 733MHz DL380 running RedHat 7.2. It runs a lot of bash scripts out of cron to fetch and check web pages, with the results being reported back to the same machine. Last time I was able to see it, there were over 400 bb-hosts entries and over 2500 reports. It has a fairly constant load average of around 5 or 6, spiking to maybe 10 or 11 whenever the planets align and a lot of stuff happens simultaneously.
As soon as they can figure out how to replace it, Hobbit'll be shutdown, as it's not one of the officially blessed monitoring systems. However, even the folks in their Integration Labs admit they have nothing that can do quite what I've done with Hobbit, so I imagine they'll end up telling their customers the monitoring is being downgraded. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for *those* conversations... :)

Ok.. so how do you delay the red alerts? I am wondering if I am
just over loading this system... I may need to build another bb
server so I can split up the work load a bit.. thanks in advance!!

Subject: Re: [hobbit] nightly reboots
I have had the problem where the conn test goes bad for everything
(not every host, just groups based on bb-hosts) since I installed it
at the office. No idea why :(
What I do is delay the red sms alerts by a few minutes as it is red
for only a few seconds, sometimes a minute.

I am having an issue where my hobbit server

every server it monitors has been rebooted, so I get blasted
with sms
messages when this happens. And none of the servers have
actually rebooted
nor has there been any network outages.. ideas?thoughts?
