directory vs. includes statement 🔗 link

Hi !

I use in my bb-hosts (4.3.0-0.beta2) the directory-statement,
because it's very simple to added various and new hosts/pages 
hobbitlcient-directives etc. ...

into the system, only to push them in the includes-directory ... ;-)

But now, i've got a problem with devmon,
because it's only detected includes-statements ...

Is it right, that i have to added each include-file into the bb-hosts-file
or is there a similiar feature like wildcards or so on ... ?

.. by the way it wouldn't be advancement .. :-(

thanks & cheers

.. by the way it wouldn't be advancement .. :-(

.. of course, if there will be NOT a
" similiar feature like wildcards" in the includes-statements  exist  ..

thanks in advance !

Please file a feature request on devmon for supporting the 'directory' statement. Xymon 4.2.3's bb-hosts(5) man page doesn't list a "directory" statement though, so this wasn't added when adding support for *include statements.

(devmon doesn't support file globs or wildcards in include statements).

Hi !

Please file a feature request on devmon for supporting the 'directory' statement.

done on saturday ...

But it seems i've got another problem/question with the directory vs. includes statement ..

Which is the difference beween the  directory and includes statement ?

I used the directory-statement in bb-hosts, hobbit-client.cfg and 
hobbit-alerts.cfg, because it's the easiest way to get to configure a lot 
of Configs for a bunch of pages,alerts and client-configs ....

Unfortunatly  ( the directory statement) it didn't work right now together 
with the --cifd option of  hobbitd_alert module ...

"cfid:N" where N is the linenumber in the hobbit-alerts.cfg "

The cfid-linenumber dosen't match with linenumber if i make an dump of the hobbit-alerts.cfg with

/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd  /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitd_alert --dump-config

by the way ,in the top of the hobbit-alerts.cfg,
i've got many Comments and mail-macros but which i've included in the dump-file ..

Any comments are welcome ;-)

cheers,

 	martin

"include" forces you to explicitly list the files that are included.
"directory" will automatically include all files in the directory.

"--dump-config" dumps the parsed output of the config files, but
the line-numbers are from the un-parsed file (e.g. the line number
also includes comment-lines which --dump-config ignores). So you
should match the line number against the output from
   bbcmd bbhostshow ~xymon/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg

I should probably consider adding the line-number to the --dump-config
output.

Yep, works like a charme ;-)

output.

great idea !

thanks a lot Henrik  !
