I've had similar occurrences with Windows machines. The message file
logging tends to generate red events all the time due to the lovely
services manager stuff.

I don't have a solution for you, but if you could give us an idea of
what exactly you are seeing that is triggering hobbit to go red, that
could help us to determine a way for you to set timeouts and the likes
for certain events.

Thanks,

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?

TIA
