Is there an eventlog that I can grep through that will show each event as it happens? I am writing a prog to send messages to an L.E.D. sign for our dept to show outages and it would be nice to just extract it from an existing log Kevin Hanrahan Systems Engineer Nova Information Systems CCNA Note: The information contained in this email and in any attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

There are logs for each host and each host.test in the data/hist directory. You could use fam (assuming your using a Unix-like OS) to watch the files alert your program when each file changed. Thanks, Larry Barber

You can also look at the data/hist/allevents file that logs every single event received by the hobbit server. - Brian On Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:23:25 -0500 (EST), user-7a6c75d6cc10@xymon.invalid

Depending on the granularity of your tests, the allevents file will give you the host, the test that failed and the color transition (i..e from green to red). If you are looking for the content of the alert, then you'll have to poke through the history files or force hobbit to write out the host status files (i.e. enable 'bbstatus'). - Brian On Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:41:52 -0500, user-fd47fec4b039@xymon.invalid

You might look at the bb command's hobbitdboard option. It retrieves quite a bit of info on all hosts. I'm not sure if it will return all of the info you're looking for, but something to look at.
