Running Hobbit Monitor 4.2-alfa-20060423 on Linux box.

All is well, except NO purple alerts are prolongating to the 'Non-Green' 
page, bb2.html.

All other alerts show up as they should, but when I browse through my 
pages, hosts are showing tests as purple.

The hosts that show purple, are valid hosts, and conn is showing green.

Hi Dominique,

thanks we got back the Purple BB2page, but I think not yet in the right order.
The Purble page should have a higher prio than the Yellow page.
What do you think?

best regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,

We think the actual priority is right.
The purple status is reflecting a malfunction within Hobbit like client(s) not talking to the server or service(s) test disabled. A warning alarm -yellow- is reporting service or local tests errors and as such more important for us.

I agree with Dominique :-) And this is one of those issues where I'll
put on my Hobbit Dictatorship Hat (tm) and just say that it will not
be changed.

Nah... 
What do you think?
Nothing stops you from making a test that checks for purple status and
flag red or yellow if it finds any :)

Hi Kolbjørn,

a little late, but can you please give me an example, on how to do 
such a test? This would wipe away all my Purple BB2page problems.

Thank you,
Pascal

You could add the --purplelog=/var/log/hobbit/purples.txt to
the bbgen command in hobbitlaunch.cfg; this file will then have a list
of the purple statuses on your system.


If you would rather have it as a status on your display, then run this as 
a Hobbit server extension script.

#!/bin/sh

$BB $BBDISP "hobbitdboard color=purple fields=hostname,testname" >/tmp/purples.txt
if test `wc -l /tmp/purples.txt` -gt 0
then
    $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.purples red `date`

    Purple statuses:
    `cat /tmp/purples.txt`
    "
else
    $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.purples green `date`

    No purple statuses
    "
fi

exit 0


Regards,
Henrik
