If desired I know you can change it. One of the configs in server/etc - if you can't find it let me know, I can look later tonight.

You can change the update interval for the web pages by changing the frequency that bbgen is run in etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg. Page generation doesn't put much of a load on the machine, so there is generally not a problem with more frequent updates. I'm monitoring over 600 machines using a modest 2 cpu box and the page generation only takes .6 seconds. I have increased the page generation frequency to once a minute and it does make quite a difference in how fast problems are detected. Thanks, Larry Barber

It was free, don't laugh! Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3.06GHz 90 hosts took me 0.016208 seconds this last poll.

The graph on my bbgen page shows min=0.3, max=5.1, though I have seen a Time Total of over 6.0. 679 hosts, 2912 messages, 39 pages. One of these days I should try to convince my boss to shell out for a second 733MHz cpu for the Hobbit server... :) Ralph Mitchell

My bbdisplay is already configured to have 1 minute update interval, it is on bb2.html is still updated every 5 minutes.
# "bbdisplay" runs the bbgen tool to generate the Hobbit webpages from the status information that
# has been received. Big Brother updated the webpages once every 5 minutes. The default here is to
# run it every minute for faster updates, but you can change it if you have a highly loaded server
# and dont need updates that often.
[bbdisplay]
ENVFILE /etc/hobbitserver42/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
GROUP generators
CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
INTERVAL 1m
I do remember there is a option somewhere is hobbit man page that can set "dynamic, on demand " update.

http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-tips.html#updatefreq That may help, but remember, if a host is only tested every 5 minutes, and you update your page every minute, your bb2 page is at most 60 seconds out of date, but usually much closer. If you must, for some reason, update manually, you COULD run it manually via the bbcmd, if I'm thinking this through correctly. It would be something like: /path/to/hobbit/bin/bbcmd /path/to/hobbit/bin/bbgen Where /path/to/hobbit/ is the path just below your etc directory where you have your bb-hosts and hobbitlaunch.cfg Tod Hansmann Network Engineer

I was configuring hobbit-client.cfg to setup disk partitions thresholds on many machines, thus the need to see the bb2.html be updated as soon as possible. Thanks for this tip, I will try it out later. tj
