[hobbit] sending client side data

[Jones, Jason (Altrincham)]

Not really, that sends the predetermined colours, what I was thinking is
more sending the output of command x and then have hobbit generate the
webpage.

Any ideas?
Jason.

I have a Hobbit client install running a BigIP check.  In
client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg:

      [bigip-v4]
          ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
          CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bigip/bigip3.sh
          LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbitclient.log
          INTERVAL 5m

After doing what it needs to do to get the status, the script sends
off a status message to the server like this:

      MACHINE=`echo $NAME | sed -e 's/\./,/g'`
      MESSAGE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date`<P><font size=+2>The
$BIGIP BigIP says: $NAME $TEST is $STATE</font>"
      $BB $BBDISP $MESSAGE

Is that what you're looking for??
