RE: [hobbit] BBWin Ext Scripts after 30min are unavaliable



By default, the Hobbit server expects your tests to update at least once every 30 minutes.  This is the LIFETIME parameter.  After "LIFETIME" expires with no updates the server marks the test "purple" and sends an alert.

The fix is simple -- in your script you need to send a LIFETIME value when you send your status message.  If you test once every day, you need to calculate LIFETIME as 24 * 60 + some extra in case your test is delayed from some reason.

You can read about this in the man pages for the "bb" command (Xymon communications program).

Subject: [hobbit] BBWin Ext Scripts after 30min are unavaliable

Hi guys,

im monitoring with some external scripts on my BBWin and when i try to set up the "check time" higher (like one time a day) I noticed that the column get unavaliable after 30 minutes for this client.

Is it a know issue?

I also tryed to put this paragraphs (i readed it here somewhere) in the hobbit-client.cfg:

MAXMSG_DATA="5242880"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="5242880"
MAXMSG_STATUS="5242880"


Nothing works... do i have to setup something else on server/client side?

TIA
