BBALPHAMSG

Hi All Seems like BBALPHAMSG is being ignored by hobbit-4.1.1 server. I have a script that were able to scan the content of BBAPLHAMSG before sending page. But it is not working anymore ever since I upgraded the hobbitd server. Anyone else experiencing this?

I was wrong. BBALPHAMSG is still part of hobbit-4.1.1 but it only keeps the status logs. Is that mean all msgs files are coming in as data log? In that case what variable do I use with my ALERT scripts to scan msgs data? Thanks

I've lost track of what you want to do. BBALPHAMSG contains the text in a Hobbit "status" message, which is the only thing that can trigger an alert. Are you referring to the data for a "msgs" status column ? The Hobbit client does not implement data collection for the "msgs" column, so that can never trigger an alert. Until I've found a good way of doing system log monitoring, you can use some of the BB add-on scripts from deadcat.net - these should generate a normal status message and hence show up in the normal way for your alerts (including BBALPHAMSG).

I think so. In hobbit-4.0.4 and below, if a client has the word 'core dump' in the WARNING line of its /var/adm/messages file I would ignore that ALERT. But since hobbit-4.1.1 it is failing. So I think you already answered why it is failing. Thanks for building such a good tool which does exactly what it suppose to do, does it well.
