Hmm, I looked at that and for some reason didn't think it would do
what I wanted...
Anyway, my combo test looks like:
IVR.procs = (node1.procs + node2.procs + node3.procs + node4.procs) == 1
Although I'm not sure how to make it only test on the 'ivr' processes....
but I'm getting the same error as this thread
(http://www.xymon.com/archive/2009/09/msg00052.html) reports. My
Xymon server is a RHEL5.5 virtual host running under Xen.
On an aside, this environment 'reuses' hostnames only differentiating
systems by the domain suffix (no, not my idea and no I don't like it).
I have node[1-4].prod and node[1-3].dev (no not their real hostnames
or domain names), all are in Xymon. Can the combo test handle being
provided the FQDN? i.e.
IVR.procs = (node1\.prod.procs + node2\.prod.procs + node3\.prod.procs
+ node4\.prod.procs) == 1
Thanks

Hi Colin
We did something similar at previous client we know too well. :-)
It's called a combo-test.
Look for "Combination Tests" under the man pages.
What you need to do is define a new test. Call it "Cluster" for lack of a
better name.
You then define servername.Cluster=(insert logical arguments here) into
bbcombotest.cfg
This will generate a new test which is dependant on the logic you define.
The server name doesn't even need to exist. So you can define your combo
test as cluster.app=(logic)
This will send the results of a new test "app" as if it came from a new
server called "cluster"
You then add cluster to bb-hosts as follows
0.0.0.0 Cluster # noconn
Very powerful, and the man page does explain it fairly well.
Let me know how you go.
Cheers

Hi all
I'm trying to do a depends-like test for processes. What I'd like is
ensure that process foo is running on one of four hosts, if the
process is running on more than one host or on none, a red flag should
be raised.
Has anyone done this previously?
Thanks
