Hi all,

I have 2 machines (hobbit clients installed), that are testing for bbd,
which reports:

Service bbd on solaris10 is not OK : Service unavailable (Connection
refused)

I don't need that test, so I tried to remove those tests with:

./bb 127.0.0.1 " drop solaris10 bbd"

And the tests are still there on the web page.

Anyone know how to remove those tests?

Thanks!!

William

Is bbd still present in bb-hosts? Did you restart Hobbit services? If
this doesn't work, put a # to comment out the server in bb-hosts after
removing bbd from bb-hosts, restart services, un-comment the server in
bb-hosts, restart services again.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the help!
There was originally a bbd in bb-hosts, but that was removed, before I did
the command "./bb"

I then followed your advice, and yep it worked like a charm! Thanks!

Hi all,

One last question here...
I'm trying to structure my page, so that I have 3 areas to test for:
Servers, services & routers/switches/firewall
I'd like to have all the servers listed under the page "servers", with all
the basic xymon client tests.

I'd like to have all the services under another page "services", with
apache, ftp, mysql, etc.

What I came to realize, is that I get an error, because there are 2 host
entries in the bb-hosts file. On top of that, I'd only like to show just
that test for that server, such as "apache", without showing all the other
standard client tests such as "cpu, disk, files"

I looked at the demo site, and I have a bb-hosts file for:
"172.16.10.2     www.hswn.dk"
And setup a client like that, but it comes up with all the standard client
tests. 

Can someone point me to documentation that shows how to set up the tests
this way? examples?

Thanks!

William

Take a look at the bb-hosts man page - the thing you want is probably
"group-only", as in:

   group-only conn|cpu|disk|files
   a.b.c.d server.domain.com

   group-only apache
   0.0.0.0 server.domain.com # noconn

Group names are optional.  If given, they show at the top of the hostname
column.

Hi Ralph,
From what you suggest, it would create tables for those specific tests, on
that 1 page only.
BUT, from what I see, you still can¹t have duplicate host entries in the

There's no reason not to spread those different "group-only" blocks over
several pages.  I have exactly that on a Xymon server watching some F5 BigIP
groups.  A bunch of the hostnames occur in different pools, so those are
duplicated in different sub-pages.

Hi Ralph,

From what you suggest, it would create tables for those specific tests, on
that 1 page only.
BUT, from what I see, you still can’t have duplicate host entries in the
bb-hosts file.
I’ll put in my bb-hosts file with  the example of what I’m trying to
create.

The error I get is for the “amtco server”

1 page that is for all generic tests,
1 page for specific services
1 page for routers/firewall,
All under the main page....

That's because you have to use a slightly different name for fileserver

Hi Dominique,

That actually worked! I got no errors in bb-network.log, and BOTH the http
and the ftp services in the services page monitored properly, BUT, there was
a side affect.

The page called "servers" where the fileserver shows all the client data,
etc, ALSO showed the FTP and HTTP column, which is something I didn't want
to see: I want that under the services page.

Hi Dominque,
I tried something else, and now things are ok.
For:
page servers Servers
group-compress <H3><I>Windows:</I></H3>
xx.xx.xx.xx fileserver       # noconn

I changed it from group-compress to group-except:

page servers Servers
group-except http|ftp <H3><I>Windows:</I></H3>
xx.xx.xx.xx fileserver       # noconn


And that seemed to work!!!

Thanks so much for your suggestion..
