Sure, you set BBLOCATION to the appropriate value for each instance of
bbtest-net. Here's the stanzas from hobbitlaunch:
[bbnet-midr]
ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD BBPORT=1984 BBLOCATION=MIDR bbtest-net --report --ping
--checkresponse --concurrency=128 --timeout=15 --test-untagged
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network-midr.log
INTERVAL 2m
[bbnet-midr-lf]
ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD BBPORT=1984 BBLOCATION=MIDRLF bbtest-net --report=bbtest-mdrlf
--ping --checkresponse --concurrency=128 --timeout=15 --frequenttestlimit=0
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network-midrlf.log
INTERVAL 10m
I also see that I misstated what I was doing before, the problem was that
some of our customers were complaining about how often Hobbit was hitting
their site (like checking something every two minutes was going to destroy
their site) so I created a separate bbtest-net instance that only ran every
10 minutes instead of every 2 minutes. But the same idea could be used to
give a longer timeout if necessary, just change the --timeout argument to
bbtest-net.

OK, cool. I didn't think that would work. This is on a single Xymon
server?? Are you setting BBLOCATION at all??

Using NET: the way I specified works fine, I have a similar situation, a
few very slow web pages that tend to time out with the default settings, and
that is how I handle the problem. I just use NET: to specify a different
instance of bbtest-net, one with a longer timeout.

Unless something changed recently, the NET keyword allows you to specify
which of several Hobbit/Xymon servers performs network checks for a given
host. I don't think it would do what the original poster wanted.

You can use the "NET:" keyword (see the bb-hosts man page) to set up an
alternate network check. In the stanza within hobbitlaunch.cfg that launches
the bbtest-net that is associated with the new set of network checks you can
set an alternate timeout.

Hi,
I'm using a few HTTP checks to see how fast (and if) a website
responds. However, some are known to be slower than others and I want
therefor some sites not to trigger an alert or at least not if it doesn't
respond in 10 seconds, but for instance 20 seconds. How can I achieve this
for 1 check, not globally for all HTTP checks?
Best regards,
Wouter
