<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Thx for the help guys, but its not working...<br>
<br>
Im using BBWin and here is my configuration:<br>
<br>
<br>
ext script:<br>
oOutFile.WriteLine "green+1d" & vbCrLf<br>
Else<br>
oOutFile.WriteLine "red+1d"
& vbCrLf<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
logfile from ext script, which is send to Xymon:<br>
green+1d<br>
<br>
testserver running test<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
my BBWin.cfg looks like this:<br>
<externals><br>
<setting name="timer" value="3m"
/><br>
<setting name="logstimer" value="60s"
/><br>
<load value="cscript
C:\PROGRA~2\BBWin\ext\testscript.vbs" timer="300m" /> <br>
</externals> <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
With this configuration i could get a green status for 43 minutes (instead of
30) til it got black again... Am I still doing something wrong? <br>
<br>
thanks,<br>

<p>Hi Greg,<br>
<br>
thank you for your support, it gave me the right direction! =D<br>
<br>
I found out that this lifetime in the scripts should look like this:</p>
<pre>$BB $BBDISP "status+70 $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` OK"<br>
<br>
</pre><pre><br>
<br>
</pre><pre><br>
<br>
</pre><pre><br>
<br>
</pre>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><br>
but the Windows .vbs scripts dont give such parameters back to hobbit-server...
I just dont know how to implement this "status+time" in the vbs
scripts...<br>
<br>
another thing is that the column dont get purple but black! <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">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.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">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.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: blue;">You can read about this in the man
pages for the "bb" command (Xymon communications program).</span></p>

<p>Hi guys,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Is it a know issue?<br>
<br>
I also tryed to put this paragraphs (i readed it here somewhere) in the
hobbit-client.cfg:<br>
<br>
MAXMSG_DATA="5242880"<br>
MAXMSG_CLIENT="5242880"<br>
MAXMSG_STATUS="5242880"<br>
<br>
<br>
Nothing works... do i have to setup something else on server/client side?<br>
<br>
TIA</p>
