[hobbit] Clients reporting to both a BB server and Hobbit

[Vernon Everett]

Hi

The short answer is yes.
We have a 3rd party (they provide Dc services) that use Big Brother.
Since I joined the company, I started using Hobbit, but had to do so
without disrupting their Big Brother.
I have also started migrating some of our servers to Hobbit client.

We now have BB-client and Hobbit client running on our servers,
reporting to Hobbit in our offices, and Big Brother server at our data
centre hosts.
It gets a little confusing, but keeps things interesting :-)

Do you have a more specific question?

Regards
    Vernon

Subject: [hobbit] Clients reporting to both a BB server and Hobbit

I saw the recent thread regarding using bbproxy to replicate the
display, and would like to do something similar. However, ideally, what
I'd like is to use something like bbrelay to have the clients report to
both hobbit and bb, while I get hobbit fully set up. I know the alert
structure is a little different, and I'd like to have time to tweak
things and such instead of doing an abrupt cutover. Is it possible to
have the clients actually report to both servers, such that both bb and
hobbit will process the data (as bbnets or whatever). I googled hobbit
and bbrelay but didn't come up with too much. Will bbrelay do what I
want, or does it just forward the reports instead of processing it on
both servers? I want BB to remain fully functional for the time being,
as I'm monitoring over 2000 machines with paging and ext and pg scripts
which kick off other things.
