Hi all,

 
I have a question about the operations of bbtest-net. It said in the man
pages that it reads first the bb-services file which describes a list of TCP
based protocols and how to test them. What I would like to do is to schedule
differently all those tests. Since I have noticed that the bbtest module
launch frequency is configured in the hobbitlaunch.cfg without any
parameters about bb-services. I would like to know if it was possible to
schedule launches of the bbtest module at different frequencies with
different "bb-services" files with of course different contents.

 
Thank you,

 
Regars,

I think this past mailing list archive explains how you can setup
multiple bbtest-nets to run.  One running with a 1m interval & the other
with a 5m. Then you just need to use the NET: tag in the bb-hosts file
to specify which host should have it's network checks run at which
interval:

This looks interesting indeed, great idea. But is there a way to go further
on that and filter which protocols you will be testing let's say every
minute like in the example?

 
i.e.:

I want to test every minute some stuff with SMTP and every 5 minutes all the
other protocols.

 
I think, but I am not sure that this could mean creating two different
"bb-services" files, one for each frequencies ...
