Build a UNIX system, or you can try the VMWare thingy that Henrik made
if you just want to try it out.  Not sure where he posted it -- but I
remember he said it was a whopper of a download -- 250 MB or
thereabouts.

Thanks, I needed something to prod the boss with. I'll go with the Unix
box.

Hi all,
   
  I have some test systems all which have generated some alerts to me via email.  I guess I was expecting these systems to also show up under the Administration - Acknowledge Alerts link, but all I see is a page which you put in the Estimated time
  to resolve, short cause of problem, and acknowledgement code.  Is this what i'm supposed to see?
   
  Also, if I do acknowledge an alert, how does that manifest itself in the web page or
  in continued REPEAT alarms...?
   
  thanks all,
   
  -mike

Sorry, I didn't research enough.  Guess it has to do with the "critical" system which should be defined in 4.2+ with the nkedit.sh cgi page.  I'll play a little more to see
  how this works.
   
  Will there be a way to instead of creating critical rules for specific hosts, but also for a system group?  I like the idea of admin'ing this through the web, but if you have 100's or 1000's of hosts...could be handled simpler through group definitions or editing a file with vi.

Here is the hobbitdemo the vmware img that Henrik posted. It can run
on any OS with VMware installed

It depends on whether you're using the original ack-system where you
need the acknowledgment pin-code from an alert to acknowledge a problem, or if you're using the new (in 4.2) pin-free ack-system. You probably
want the latter, so check your ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg file: There should be a line with

CGI_ACK_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-pin"

(The path to hobbitserver.cfg may be different on your system).

The "--no-pin" is essential. Note that some of the pre-4.2 releases had
this outside the double-quotes, which does not work.

  Also, if I do acknowledge an alert, how does that manifest itself   in the web page or in continued REPEAT alarms...?

On the webpage, ack'ed alerts show up with a check-mark instead of a
dot. Alerts stop being sent when you acknowledge a status.


Regards,
Henrik

Henrik,

Thanks very much, the problem was indeed the --no-ping outside the quotes.
