[hobbit] Query current host status via CLI

Found the solution, although I’m sure there are easier methods.  I used curl to scrape the number of users from each citrix server, and added them as the script went along.  Fortunately, making a fake host using noconn, and then naming the test citrix (which matches the real citrix test coming from the individual servers) was all I had to do, hobbit is now generating a graph.

Subject: [hobbit] Query current host status via CLI

 

Hello All,

 

One of my Intel admins has asked if there is a way to determine the total number of citrix sessions in use using hobbit.  We are currently using the citrix plug-in, but he would like the same information displayed as a total for the farm.  I’m sure there are ways within windows to do this, but I am not a windows admin.  I know that I could easily to this from the command line in many ways.  

 

My three questions are:

 

1.       Is anyone already doing this?

2.      Is there a way from the command line on the hobbit server to determine the most current status for a hobbit client?  My thought was to scrape the include file for the citrix servers in question, feed it to a for loop, and then query the status,  and then just count up the logged in clients.  I’ve looked in the files in ~/data, and do not see current status messages there.

3.      Can anyone think of a better way than in question #2, assuming I can get the most current status message via CLI?

 

Thanks,

 

Al
