hobbitd_channel: enadis
list S Aiello
I am trying to monitor and process communication on the enadis channel. I have been looking at messages comin in on this channel and see the following: @@enadis#6|1213126417.873757|127.0.0.1|HobbitServer|http|1213126657 @@ Which looking at the code I see the fields are: /* @@enadis|timestamp|sender|hostname|testname|expiretime */ Questions: 1. 1st field: comes in as enadis#1, enadis#2, enadis#3, etc. that #number seems to get reset whenever the hobbit daemon is reset. Any extrnal purpose for this incrementing # ? 2. The timestamp field has EPOC.Other#. What is the Other# after the period ? 3. expiretime, just looking for confirmation on possible values. EPOC for expiration time, Zero for enabling, and -1 means Until Ok ? 4. Where is the blurbage about the maint,"Disabled by:" & "Reason" ? I am running 4.2.0 With All-in-One patch. Any help would be appreciated. ~Steve

It's just a sequence number. Originally used to check for missing messages by the hobbitd_enadis (and other worker tasks), but not really useful.
2. The timestamp field has EPOC.Other#. What is the Other# after the period ?
microseconds.
3. expiretime, just looking for confirmation on possible values. EPOC for expiration time, Zero for enabling, and -1 means Until Ok ?
Right.
4. Where is the blurbage about the maint,"Disabled by:" & "Reason" ?
It isn't included in the "enadis" data. If memory serves me right, then the enadis channel is currently used only by the BB-compatibility module hobbitd_filestore, and the BB enable/disable marker files do not include the text - that's probably the reason for this. It could easily be changed to include that text as an extra field. Regards, Henrik

I accomplished my goal by listening in on the page channel and filtering on @@notify messages. Thank you for your feedback. ~Steve
