1) For some reason I cant get the hobbit client to report anything for msgs, its always clear. Is this a permission thing I need to set within linux? 2) Does the hobbit client run on the server? I don't see a netstat or vmstat there. 3) Other then deadcat, is there another repository for bb/hobbit scripts I can look at? Jason Chambers IT Helpdesk Support eosoft Inc.

No, the Hobbit client doesn't currently do any log-file checking. This is mentioned at the very beginning of the README.CLIENT file...

Installing the Hobbit server does install and launch the client. You should see the netstat- and vmstat-graphs if you look at the "trends" column; there is no dedicated netstat- or vmstat-column since these are purely for collecting data.

No. Regards, Henrik

If I don't have these columns in the trends graph, what will I need to do to get them up? Jason Chambers IT Helpdesk Support Geosoft Inc.

Look for the ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt file - this is the data collected by the client and sent to the Hobbit server. It should contain a section beginning with "[netstat]" and another with "[vmstat]". Are they in that file ? And not empty sections ? If they are, send me a copy of that file. It might be that Hobbit just fails to recognize the format of data your server sends; what OS is this on ? Regards, Henrik

Hi Henrik, I don't know if you got my email, but the file attachment was too large to get placed into the mailing list so I sent it to your personal address you have listed here.

Hey Guys, Thanks for answering my previous inquiry so promptly. I have a few more questions: Is it possible to disable and acknowledge alerts via email, how? Can I configure a maximum time limit a alert can be acknowledged for? Can I restrict what hosts can be disabled on the enable/disable page? Can the SMS alert format be reconfigured to display more or less information? Thanks! Regards, Greg

I believe you were being pointed to blastwave and sunfreeware to download make not hobbit.

1) not to my knowledge...although I've seen similar questions. You'd probably have to write a custom job...I think BB may even have one on Deadcat...I know I wrote one for BB using AIM that is on deadcat (it IMs your admin team whenever something goes to alert which can be acknowledged via IM...may need some more work). 2) Don't think so. 3) Not without code changes. 4) write a custom pager script. =G=
