Once you guys have beaten on it for a little bit, I'll
put it up on deadcat (although I'll make all the options
set to the bigbrother defaults when I do that).

Looks great so far!

One tiny bug discovered with BB usage instead of Hobbit, line 1735 has a
hardcoded image path to /hobbit/gifs/bkg-blue.gif which should be
changed to use the configuration entry.

One suggestion I have is to make the input boxes for the Host Options
wider?  With a very large number of options for a host, editing in the
small space can be dificult.


Excellent work!

Great tool :D

One think i'm checking but seems to not work is the use of set of pages for bbgen/hobbit:
I've  something like this at the start of my bb-hosts file:

inetpage Mail Mail Server
inetpage Web Web Servers
inetpage DB DB Servers

databasepage Host DB Server
databasegroup Legacy DB Server
databasegroup SAP DB Server
databasepage Oracle Oracle Database
databasegroup Legacy Database
databasegroup SAP Database

networkpage Security Security
networksubpage FW Firewalls
networksubpage VPNEdge VPNEdge
networksubpage ACE ACE Servers
networkpage TS Terminal Server
networkpage Switch Switch/Hub 

And i get a syntax error on those lines. It's possible to try to mantain those line as they are instead of getting an error? It could be also nice to construct a bbset configuration for the single host to put the various page/subpage/group the server will be in for example i've:
0.0.0.0 taurus #   DATABASE:Host,2

So that it will go in the Database subset page Host group 2 (SAP).
It could be very nice to implement something like that.

Thanks
Francesco

Can do (patch attached).  I'm considering making some changed to the host parameter menu, which will include checkboxes for different option types, as well as a space for user definable options.  I dont know if I'll ever get around to that though.
Excellent work!
Thanks :)

I was thinking along the parameters checkboxes line myself.... Something
that either puts together the list of available checkboxes based on
whats found in the bb-hosts file already, or a pre-defined list of
things that can be added.

Some things like cont and http/https tests will need text entry boxes
always for the URLs and test strings.  Network services like ftp, ssh,
telnet, smtp, etc will need some way to add as inverted checks (!ftp,
!ssh, !telnet, etc) through the checkboxes.

Overall pretty complicated... But would certainly make the editing of
hosts more 'user-friendly' for those not as familiar with BB internals.

Hi Eric,

short question.

i get following message on 'edit mainpage\add host': Undefined position 
pointer, can't add host

and on 'edit mainpage\edit group': Can't edit a root group (2)

edit any subpage works fine on the other hand...

my bb-hosts looks like this atm:

~~~
group-compress hobbit_test_system
127.0.0.1   myhobbit      # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://myhobbit/

page test_systems our test systems
xx.yy.9.59  myhost1
xx.yy.88.73     myhost2 #
~~~

bb-hostedit v1 had been worked fine.. why not 1.1? :\

thank you in advance!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely
 
Anatoli Bogajewski

I added quite a bit of user input checking in this version (as well as turning all reused code blocks into their own subroutines; that should make the script more extensible for future mods).  I'm mainly trying to make sure that people dont do anything 'tricky', like feeding the script custom form data that could potentionally destroy your bb-host files.

That's what you are running into here; I had used an 'if' statement to see if a group/page was defined, based on its file position.  Of course, the first line is position 0, so it returned false.  D'oh!  People keep doing this that I dont expect ;) 

The attached patch should fix it.

-Eric

I just installed the newest version of hostedit and having strange
problems. Everything works great except for when I add a host to a page
it always gets created under the front. So if I create a page and
descend into it, and select "add a host to this page" it always creates
it on the front page and not the one I just created it in. any
suggestions?

Btw, I installed both these patches and same result.

Heh.  Well, while fixing this problem, I found another bug that crops up when you try to add a subpage to a page which already has hosts but no other subpages, which causes all of the hosts to be migrated to the new page you added.

Anyways, I fixed this bug and the bug you described in this patch:

I am having a hard time with this. I followed th install instructions (very
easy) but when I try to call it, I get:

Can't continue after import errors at /home/hobbit/server/bin/bb-hostedit.pl
line 36 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/home/hobbit/server/bin/bb-hostedit.pl line 36.


Line 36 looks like this:

Where did I make my error?

Heh.  Well, while fixing this problem, I found another bug that crops up
when you try to add a subpage to a page which already has hosts but no other
subpages, which causes all of the hosts to be migrated to the new page you
added.

Anyways, I fixed this bug and the bug you described in this patch:

http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-hostadd-patch

Getting close to a deadcat release.

Thanks!

I just installed the newest version of hostedit and having strange problems.
Everything works great except for when I add a host to a page it always gets
created under the front. So if I create a page and descend into it, and
select "add a host to this page" it always creates it on the front page and
not the one I just created it in. any suggestions?

Btw, I installed both these patches and same result.

 Thanks

Just ask your exchange admins to turn on imap.

Once you guys have beaten on it for a little bit, I'll
put it up on deadcat (although I'll make all the options
set to the bigbrother defaults when I do that).

Sorry about that!  I just got back from getting married (and subsequent honeymoon), so 
when my DSL modem overheated and died, it took my website with it. :(

Anyways, right before I left I finished the latest beta version, get it here:
http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-1.2b.tar.gz

If nobody (hopefully) finds any major bugs in this release, I'll throw it up on deadcat.

Oops.  Looks like I already found a bug (users with a .default. host defined will notice a one-off
problem whenever they try to modify anything).

The patch is here:
http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-1.2b-arrpos-patch

or you can just re-download the 1.2b tarball, which is fixed.

Hi, I'm starting to try to use the bb-hostedit tool because I need that other people without unix knowledge can manipulate the bb-hosts file to edit it and configure new client/test. 
I've a problem with pageset. bb-hostedit don't recognize them so i get errors when he load the file.
For example i get a "Syntax error: inetpage Web Web Servers" 

It's possible in a future version to have pagesets work with bb-hostedit (if not to edit them at least to leave them where they are)?

Thanks for the real good work.

Francesco
