<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Henrik </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would like to propose a possible new feature.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server, we can specify default threshholds for most things, but the selection is based on hostname.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there a way to specify the machine architecture as an identifier. (uname -n</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">To give an example, I run a mixed bag of Sun T2000, V440, V490, and X4?00 servers.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Because of what we are running on each server type, we find a large run queue on the T2000 is quite normal, but on one of the others, we expect a very small run queue.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Instead of defining runqueue threshhold per host name, it would be nice to have a ARCH option which could be overridden by the HOST </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So we could define</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ARCH=x86_64 # Linux</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 5.0 10</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ARCH=i86pc # Solaris on x86</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 6 12</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ARCH=SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise # A solaris 10 zone</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 8 12</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490 # A Sun V490</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 6 9</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 # A T2000 reports as T200 - don't ask!</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 15 25</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However, if further down the list we had a HOST server01 we could redefine the LOAD, despite it being a T2000.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">HOST=server01 </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LOAD 10 15</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The utility of this would mean I don't have to define every host inividually, but </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Of course, we could also use the same definitions for OS as returned by uname -s</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">SunOS, Linux etc. (I see you use this in the client scripts)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It would be nice to have that flexibility in the configs.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Regards</FONT>
