Subject: [hobbit] Sanity check for config files
Hi all
We have a number of teams, with a large number of servers per team, and
I wanted to give each more autonomy over how they set up their Hobbit
sub-page.
(Also means less work for me)
Same needs here.
I was thinking of having a separate bb-hosts, hobbit-alerts.cfg and
hobbit-clients.cfg for each team, and then include in the case of
bb-hosts or run a cron job to concatenate the files, in the case of the
others.
To my knowledge and practice, only bb-hosts support "include" directive.
not hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg. I wish these two cfg files
support include also.
Is there a way to "sanity check" any of these files before exposing
hobbit to them?
So far, I am using "beacon" approach by bringing down a vmware session's
interface for 6 minutes
to trigger alarm at certain time each day.
This beacon approach will ensure lots of components in hobbit system
monitoring system are functional.
tj
I would probably need to remove the <CR><LF>, which is pretty easy, but
are there any other sanity checks available?
Regards
Vernon
