BBcombotest questions
list Benjamin Blazke
Hi, I would like to use bbcombotest.cfg to define dependencies between services. I have done some testing and came up with a couple of questions: 1. The format of a combotest is basically name=value. Are there any known limitations to this scheme (e.g. max. length of "value")? 2. I tried to define a "combo of combos" but kept on getting errors. Is this something that is not supported? If it is not, I can still work around it by explicitly "expanding" the combos but then my "values" would be very long and hard to maintain. I was also wondering if I'd be hitting any limits (see 1.) 3. I would like to automatically disable application monitors during a software update and enable when the update is done. I was thinking of creating a "rollout" test and have all services depend on it using bbcombos. Then I could have the upgrade script disable this "rollout" only. For example: serviceCluster.serviceA_combo = (host1.serviceA + host2.serviceA) >= 1 || (host1.rollout + host2.rollout == 0) Has anybody implemented anything similar or have any other suggestions?

Hi all
Here's something I would like to do.
Is it possible?
How?
We have multiple teams, Unix, Wintel, Oracle, Apps, Security, etc. I want to set up a "critical systems" view tailored to each team, just
like the current menu option, but only showing the systems relevant to
that team.
In the same way, I would like to do the same thing with the "All
non-green view".
The idea is that in every section, we have a large monitor, displaying
only the critical systems issues for that team.
And each team can acceess an "All non-green" view of only their own
systems.
Regards
Vernon

Vernon, I do another "all non green view" with the bbcmd utility: on cron: */2 * * * * /home/bbmon/server/bin/bbcmd --env=/home/bbmon/server/etc/bb3.cfg /home/bbmon/server/msc/gera_msc_bb3.sh cat gera_msc_bb3.sh #!/bin/sh BBHOME=/home/bbmon/server export BBHOME . $BBHOME/etc/bb3.cfg sleep 2 #echo $COLOR1 BBHELPSKIN="/home/bbmon/server/www/help" BBNOTESSKIN="/home/bbmon/server/www/notes" /home/bbmon/server/bin/bbgen --report --subpagecolumns=2 --template=msc /home/bbmon/server/www/msc/ bb3.cfg is a copy of hobbitserver.cfg that you have to modify: BBHOSTS="$BBHOME/etc/bb3msc" --> #this is a bb-hosts file only with the hosts for team Oracle for example BBWEBHOSTURL="$BBWEBHOST$BBSERVERWWWURL/msc" # Prefix for all static Hobbit pages - http://www.foo.com/bb Regards, Mario.

Hi Mario
Thanks for that, it works really well.
The only problem I can see, is that I now need to update, and keep in
sync, multiple bb-hosts files.
I think I will have to come up with a clever script to create the local
bb-hosts files from the main one.
In our case, that shouldn't be too difficult, because most of the hosts
for a particular team are already on seperate pages.
Regards
Vernon
