badconn problem
list Eric E *hs Schwimmer
Hi again Henrik; are you tired of hearing from me yet? Something that I noticed a few days ago but forgot to bring up until now: All of the hosts in our bb-hosts file are defined in a similar fashion to this: 1.1.1.1 hostname # badconn:1:1:2 However, any host that we monitor that fails a single ping test immediately goes red. I went so far as to change them all to "badconn:100:200:300", with no result. Any idea whats going on? Thanks! -Eric Schwimmer Network Engineer UVA HSCS Network Engineering

Don't know if this helps any, but I added the --debug flag to my bbnet-test command for a single polling period, and got many lines similar to this in my bb-network.log: 2005-04-06 15:49:54 No test for badtest spec host=foo-host, test=conn:1:1:2 I found where this error is getting thrown in bbtest-net.c (789); it looks like the conn test isnt defined in the swalk linked list. Its been about 10 years since I've done any real C coding, but I'll let you know if I can backtrace it any futher. -Eric

Got it working; looks like the sscanf statement in bbtest-net.c that reads in the badconn values wasn't matching the string being fed to it. I've attached a patch that fixed it.

Great! I was going to look at this tonight, but it seems I can just commit your patch. "Open Source" works :-) I believe this was overlooked when I did the great conversion of how the tools parse the bb-hosts file, back in the beta-3 -> beta-4 days (3 months ago). Thanks, Henrik
