Is there a way to change the interval for either the content or http
tests  to 1 minute instead of the default 5 as everything else?

Change the INTERVAL setting for the [bbnet] task in hobbitlaunch.cfg

Note that you should not do this if you have lots of systems that you
poll, since it's possible that it just won't be able to run all of the
network tests once a minute. In that case, you should pick out the
important ones that you do want to run every minute, flag them with a
"NET:1minutepoll" and setup an additional [bbnet2] task that runs a
script like this:

    #!/bin/sh

    BBLOCATION="1minutepoll"
    export BBLOCATION
    bbtest-net --ping --checkresponse 

    exit 0

Hi all,

I need to log/track how many access (users or IP) one MS IIS Web Server is currently receiving.
Does anyone have suggestions/tips/scripts to share?
Thank you.


Regards.

One way to do this is to write a vbscript. You can query this data via the Windows Performance Libraries. A snippet of how to do this would be:

Set oPerfLib=GetObject("Winmgmts:{impersonationlevel=impersonate}!\Root\Cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_PerfRawData_W3SVC_WebService where name='Default'")
CurAnonUsers=oPerfLib.CurrentAnonymousUsers
CurAuthUsers=oPerfLib.CurrentNonAnonymoususers

I have a script that I use that runs mostly on IIS5 servers, but I believe this will work on IIS6.

Thanks,

I was hoping I didn't have to do this

Could it be possible in the next release to have the option of testing
different network tests at different intervals based on test or server?
I would still like to test pings and most other net tests at 5 minute
intervals but content or http I would like to be able to specify the
interval per server.

I'll keep it in mind. I will be re-inventing how network tests run;
there are several things on the "wishlist":

* Different test schedules (your request)
* The ability to request immediate testing of some service (e.g. to see   if it's recovered without having to wait for the next test cycle).
* Better dependencies, i.e. some form of network topology knowledge so
  we can better handle when a whole subnet disappears because of a
  router- or link-outage.

I have an idea for a network test "daemon" which is fed test-requests from a kind of "test scheduler". The test daemon just reports the raw result of the network test, but feeds it into an analysis module that has the detailed knowledge of eg network topology and other kinds of dependencies - e.g. this could handle clustered or load-balanced network services intelligently. The analysis module would then generate the final status messages, not unlike how the client data are processed by hobbitd_client before it becomes the actual status you see on the webpage.

Currently just an idea, and I'm probably rambling due to the fact that
we had a major network outage yesterday and I was working until 3 AM ...

Henrik

This would be really nice for two cases:

1)  When a broken state is detected, it would be nice to be able to re-test
manually and confirm.  Avoid trying to fix a "blip."

2)  After something is fixed, it would be nice to re-test immediately to
confirm it really is fixed.

AS Trent I think I would be interested in some easier configuration of
different time intervals for network test depending on the devices to poll.

Thanks.
