Hi all,

I am new to hobbit, and am still finding my feet.

Can anyone sugest how I can monitor external websites eg www.google.co.uk
I did some searching and found bb-checkweb, but there is no documentation.
I have added the .pl script to the ext directory and added the required
files to etc as well. I have just amended the hobbitlaunch.cfg with
[bb-checkweb]
        ENVFILE /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-checkweb.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-checkweb.log
        INTERVAL 1m

How do I use it now?

Any other help with webmonitoring would be great.

you can simply add an entry to your bb-hosts like below :
0.0.0.0      www.google.co.uk    # noconn     http://www.google.co.uk

this will create an entry in the current page or subpage for www.google.co.uk.
(you can even remove the noconn if you wish to ping the destination www.google.co.uk).

hope this'll help.

Add the following to bb-hosts:

0.0.0.0 www.google.co.uk # http://www.google.co.uk

See the bb-hosts man page for more details (see http or cont checks).
