been looking at monitoring certain processes or services which will need a
different alert to others on the same box. I don’t want to have to write
separate scripts to monitor each service as the clients already check the
status of each, I was just wondering if it was possible server side to split
the alerting of each proc/service or allow the check to be redirected to
another page.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:sans-serif'>We are undergoing some restructuring among support
teams, and are separating and defining some responsibilities a little better.
System admins will be called on system specific problems, while DBAs and apps
support people will be called on others. One of my frequent complaints in the
past has been getting calls on filled file systems containing Oracle trace
files, dumps, logs, temporary files etc. that I don't feel I should be making
decisions to remove, gzip etc. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>That
is changing - DBAs will be called on those file systems in other environments
where we're using HP's ITO (aka Vantage Point / OpenView, call it what you
will).</span></font> <br>

want to try to do the same on the servers I am monitoring with hobbit. Is there
any way, or a possibility of a feature request that would allow me to specify
alerts to me for all filesystems, other than a few specific ones? E.g. using a
modified version of the hobbit-alerts page example:</span></font> <br>
