Feature request for 4.3.0 (depends) 🔗 link

Henrik

Do you have a timetable when you plan on moving the depends function out
from under bbnet?

A feature request I have is to be able to use the depends tag to link a
specific ports test to a procs test.

Example:   
port 22 is being checked
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=SSH listener"
also 
process sshd is being watched 
PROC sshd TRACK=sshd TEXT=ssh

If PROC sshd dies go red,  it would be nice if the ports test goes clear
instead of red.  

Thanks

The interval feature of hobbitlaunch.cfg is really nice.

If it could be possible I would like to see 2 new option:
1) a STARTDELAY option that delay the startup of some task in
hobbitlaunch by the specified amount of time
2) a SCHEDULE option that for example can accept a range of day/date to
launch a task and will launch it in that period of time (for example to
launch a specific task only Mon-Fri from 2:00AM to 6:00AM).

Thanks for the really good work :D

I'm not sure if it's a bug but it seems that memory allocated by
multikey don't become free if the <!-- linecount is present (the free is
inside the else part of the if) ... 

This should solve it.

Couldn't Hobbit (client or server) put some of these timer events into
its own crontab file and let the CRON daemon manage and execute them on
Hobbit's behalf? This assumes that the CRON daemon is running. Hobbit
should not accept any of those timer events in the event CRON daemon is
not running.

I've created yesterday a local DNS on the hobbit server using bind that
is working as slave for the Microsoft AD DNS so that I can use it
without having the problem that a DNS/Network fault will not let hobbit
resolve the name.

To test i used this command and it crash without "--no-ares" :
bbtest-net --debug --report --ping --checkresponse --dnslog=/tmp/pippo
--no-update 

After I started to use this local DNS bbtest-net started to crash during
the name resolution. Now it's working with --no-ares

In my hobbit configuration I've many pages and subpages and one feature
that I would really like is the possibility to have a bb2 page for every
page I'm in so that for example if I'm in the "Unix Server" page that
contains "DB Servers" and "Application Servers" I can check directly all
the "non green status" from that point in the page hierarchy.

Hobbit currently uses an older version of the c-ares library. Could you
perhaps test this with the latest version ? You can grab it from
http://www.hswn.dk/beta/snapshot/bbnet/c-ares-1.4.0.tar.gz - just save
this file into the hobbit-source "bbnet" directory, and change the ARESVER
setting in hobbitsource "build/Makefile.rules". Then run "make clean;
make" to rebuild hobbit.

With ares 1.4.0 all works correctly :D

Thanks
