Feature requests 🔗 link

Since there a new version  come soon I thought I mention a couple thing I request
in the past.
1.
 toggle  between % and size on disk graphs.
right now you can change the url to do this
That is:
http://scorpion/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=dwvob13k&service=disk&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=4&disp=dwvob13k&nostale&color=red&action=menu
to :
http://scorpion/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=dwvob13k&service=disk1&graph_width=576&graph_height=120&first=1&count=4&disp=dwvob13k&nostale&color=red&action=menu

Nice to have a button to do this.

2.
Alert/show on either/or specified change in file size and/or % change.
That is:
DISK /home01 size=+50% size=-10G DISK /home02 size=+-50%  DISK /  size=+-100M

Or some thing like that.


How many time have you seen an FS drop to near zero because someone
did a rm -Rf * !!
Henrik see http://www.i-pi.com/watcher.html

3.
Remove hosts/tests via the enable/disable cgi (I think that a logical place) . True you still might have to edit the bb-hosts but lots
of time I decide to no longer run  tests (mostly not running client
any more but still want to know if its pingable).

If we're throwing out feature requests...

My users would love to see something that can be descibed as a "service
group" of statuses...

Basically, we have several groups of web servers on the page that the
apache admins look at, in group-only blocks (they don't care about
system messages, only their HTTP, CONT, and TRENDS).  In order for them
to see everything, they have to scroll around because there are a bunch
of 3-column, N-row groups.  But the same data could be condensed into a
single screen of a bunch of N-column, 3-row groups.

So what I'd like to propose is a "servicegroup"# tag in bb-hosts, that
renders its content as rows of tests, and columns of hosts (as opposed
to the normal rows of hosts, columns of tests)

Syntax: 
servicegroup SERVICE1|SERVICE2|SERVICE3 [group-title]
	Defines a group of host-service pairs that appear on the web
page.  Hosts in the servicegroup are listed as a single header-line with
rows for each SERVICE listed.

(Optional: allow "servicegroup * group-title" to show rows for all
services on any of the hosts)

Another benefit for this just came to mind: 'servicegroup TRENDS "System
performance trends"'... Have a page or block at the bottom of your
servers-page with easy access to all of the graphs for all those
systems.

# I'm not tied to this name... group-service might be more syntactically
consistent with the rest of the bb-hosts entries.

I'm normally somebody who resists joining a queue... But I've a
feature request that might be worth opening up to the list for
comment.

wrt. the log file monitoring, it's working out great for one of my
clients, but the only thing missing is really the possibility of
pushing some log file messages into a different service name - right
now all alerts are bundled into 'msgs', that way we could separate out
application log checks from system log checks, from apache error_logs,
and so on.

My thought re. syntax would be to add a 'SERVICE=someapp' parameter to
hobbit-clients.cfg, so that the log file regexp checks go into service
'someapp' rather than the default 'msgs' where defined, as I *think*
the check against pattern matches in log messages is done server side?

LOG /var/opt/someapp/blah.log %FAIL* COLOR=red SERVICE=someapp

As ever, muchos gratis to Henrik for being patient with us all
throwing our feature requests at you in one big go :-)

Don't the group-only and group-exceot bb-host parameters already cover this ? 
I am assuming you are leaving the devices on their primary page, but want a 
seperate page for apache admins. on their page you would just use an bb-host 
alias: 0.0.0.0  devicename  # noconn.  Where the bb-host entry on the primary 
page would have the correct IP and all BBTAGS + the prefer BBTAG.

<snippet from man bb-hosts>
group-only COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title]
    Same as the "group" and "group-compress" lines, but includes only the 
columns explicitly listed in the group. Any columns not listed will be 
ignored for these hosts.

group-except COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title]
    Same as the "group-only" lines, but includes all columns EXCEPT those 
explicitly listed in the group. Any columns listed will be ignored for these 
hosts - all other columns are shown.

He is already using the group-only parameter, what he want to do is
flip-flop the hosts and services,  He wants rows of services and columns

Ok, here's another one :

be able to do something like :

HOST=host.my.com
PROC	mysqld	min=1 max=2000 color=red IF:host.my.com.is_master=green
(and same for PORT)

As you guessed it, it's a dependency check for active/standby clusters.

It would be soooooooooooooooo nice :)

I also have a hard bugfix : being tolerant about CMD alignment in ps
output so that "^named" matches even when pushed by a 1-3 offset.
