Hi,

I did a clean install with the patch and everything looks good so far.  I've
even been able to use BBConfigure with to generate the hosts file.  Nice.

A question about enabling and disabling.  The form requires the input of the
username and reason for disabling a monitor.  This is a good idea for
tracking.  However, I don't see where this information is displayed
anywhere.  Am I missing something?

I just discovered (and really like), the apache, apache1, apache2, apache3 graphs.  It looks like by default Hobbit adds the apache graph to trends.  How do I add the other graphs as well?  I tried editing the GRAPHS variable in hobbitserver.cfg but Im still seeing the default apache graph.

Also, is it possible to have a status dot for any of the apache performance tests and be able to set alerts on the values?

Thanks,
-Charles

I asked that very question some time ago...never got a reply :-)

When using bb+maint.pl, when you disable a host you get the blue dot, and if you click on the dot you see why it was disabled, by who, and for how long, example:
=====


      blue Fri Jan 7 15:00:00 2005 OFFLINE UNTIL Fri Dec 1 15:00:00 2006

997920 minutes (99 weeks)
Disabled by: cjones at x.x.x.x
Reason: Indefinitely offline
=====

I notice that when you disable a host with hobbit, if you click the blue dot it does not have that info, and just has basically the last status received.

Is there a configuration option to have the disabled info similar to bb+maint.pl ?

Thanks,
-Charles

My apologies, it's been sitting in my mailbox. I remember checking
this problem and noticing "yup, needs to be fixed" - but I never got
around to replying.

I believe the information is recorded by the Hobbit daemon, and made
available to the bb-hostsvc.cgi script that generates the detailed
status view. So I just need to fix the CGI to actually show this
information.
