dropped hosts comes back
list Pkc_mls
Hi all, I have an issue with a hobbit/xymon installation on a debian stable machine. (installation was done with the debian package, so the version is 4.3.0.0 beta2). Even if I drop a complete host with the bb drop command, and this host is not in the bb-hosts file, the tests are still performed. I also removed the files in the data directory for this host, but it comes back. The bb hobbitboard shows the hosts. How can I get rid of my old hosts/tests ? thanks.

You removed the host from bb-host and it still appears on the Hobbit web page? What color is it? -- Rich Smrcina Phone: XXX-XXX-XXXX http://www.linkedin.com/in/richsmrcina Catch the WAVV! http://www.wavv.org WAVV 2010 - Apr 9-13, 2010 Covington, KY

Also, did you kill the client on the monitored host? --- Jerald M. Sheets jr.

Hi, for a conn test there is no client. I forgot to mention this.

The color is red or blank.

Make sure that there aren't copies of the same node somewhere else in the bb-hosts file, perhaps with 0.0.0.0 as the IP address. A "red" test means that the Xymon server is really trying to ping something, and the ping is failing. Blank means that the host is not being pinged, so you are probably looking at a copy (0.0.0.0 host # noconn) entry. Just guesses. Let us know when you figure it out.

the /etc/hobbit was recreated by the script /usr/share/hobbit/init-common.sh. The bb-hosts contains indeed my old tests, so I removed the script above from the starting script, and everything is fine now. My mistake was to use sometimes /etc/init.d/hobbit start and sometimes $HOBBITHOME/hobbit.sh start. The first recreated the /etc/hobbit, but the second didn't create anything. thanks for the answers. I'll be more carefull with startup scripts next time.
