Host info screen question
list Al Jeffcoat
Hello, We have started the process of defining and adding alerts to Hobbit. The first part of this is to add downtimes. No point in people getting needless pages. I have added DOWNTIME tags to some servers, and it appears in the info page quite nicely as "Planned downtime:Sunday:2100:2300", which is perfect. On another host, we had put in a DESCR previously as a test, and removed it today when I put in the DOWNTIME tag. Now, on the info tab for that system, it did remove the Description, but is not putting the DOWNTIME tag in the same place as the other "working" downtime tags. However, on the bottom of this page, it has "Other tags:ftp telnet DOWNTIME:0:1930:2000", so I'm assuming that Hobbit knows about the downtime. This is more of an inconsistency which will be pointed out rapidly here, so I have two questions: 1. Does Hobbit know that this is the planned downtime for this system, even though it does not display a "Planned Downtime" line on the info page, but catches it on the "other tags" line? I want to make sure someone doesn't get a page during a planned downtime. 2. Is there a way to get this to be consistent across info pages? I like that it shows you planned downtime right above the alerts, and the people here that will be looking at it will be looking in the same place (hard to get them to look further :-().

If it's not listed as a downtime-setting, Hobbit doesn't recognize it as such. The "other tags" is basically just a list of all unknown (to Hobbit) tags defined for this host - e.g. for custom tests you have enabled for this host. Check the syntax. If it's as you wrote, then it's wrong: It should be "DOWNTIME=....", not "DOWNTIME:". Regards, Henrik

Bah... Stupid typo... Thanks for pointing it out to me... You've no idea how long I looked at the one that works, and then looked at the one that didn't work, and missed that... Al Al Jeffcoat

BTW: This makes me wondering: how does this translate to the following connectivity tag: conn=IP1,IP2 It now appears at the bottom after 'Other tags'? Is a matrix with all possible bb-hosts-config stuf workable? Typo's and thus 'not recognized tags' would be seen much faster.

Hi peter, I have tried most of the applications on pippen but still I will need "the master " to give a hand. I wonder if you stay here after the meeting to finish the configuration. The BTW is one of the point but we have to analyse but there are few more. I guesst that Susan want us to put the server up and running in the next couple of days to make samwise taking over darwing.
