client ext script example

Thanks Al,

I get that part :)

It's the actual script that sits in the ext directory I am looking for.
A simple template that sets the column name, alerts and runs a few  commands then sends the output to hobbit server.

Lee,

Here's how you do it.

Put the script in the $HOBBITCLIENT/ext directory, make sure it is
executable and owned by hobbit.

Then, in the $HOBBITCLIENT/etc/clientlaunch.cfg file, add a stanza for
your script, like so:

[bb-iostat]
        ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-iostat.sh
        LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-iostat.sh
        INTERVAL 5m


Hope that helps,

Al Jeffcoat

Subject: [hobbit] client ext script example

Hi,

Been trying to get a external script running with a hobbit client and
a hobbit server.

The script runs on the client and I just want it to take the data it
gets from the script and
create a new column on the server with the output in that alert.

The script only needs to be run for this one application on the
hobbit client, can't be run on the server.

Does anyone have a short howto or a very simple client side script
that they can post so I have
a working model to tweak?

Thanks,

Lee
