Hello All,
I’ve got a question… And I apologize ahead of time if it’s been covered
already.
We have been running bb/hobbit for some time. First it was on UNIX
only, because the windows admins didn’t like it. Then our execs saw it,
and liked it. They then mandated that all systems will be monitored by
hobbit.
Here’s where the problem starts. Windows has been generating a lot of
red events. The execs overreact to red events that are really not
problems. We’ve tired to explain that just because something is red,
doesn’t mean that a system is down. The windows admins are tuning it
down as best as they can, but it still happens.
So my thought was to have two hobbit’s, one that receives client data
for our engineers to see and work with, and then another that just does
the network tests, and this would be what our execs see. Both would be
sitting on the same server, running in separate directories, and
separate virtual servers. What I’m trying to get to is two views, an
executive view, and a technical view.
Has anyone done something like this? Is there a better way within
hobbit itself?
Perhaps you should leave things as thy are, as a (not so) subtle
reminder of the fickleness of Windows servers
