hobbit-clients.cfg - Handling FILE rules

[Allan Spencer]

Heya,

Just been playing around with doing some FILE monitoring and having 
issues with its processing order or its ignoring a host I want a 
different setting for. Originally I defined the FILE checks in the 
default section with the host1.acme.com above it but it wasn't working 
so I tried setting a HOST=* one and putting it under there but I still 
get the same thing. I have used it in the past for defining different 
proc checks for hosts, different loads, and different disk usage on 
partitions but never for FILE before.

Basically want host1.acme.com to either not care about files at all or 
make them 755 and all other hosts to be 644 for gcc and make (non exec)

Can someone point me in the direction of what I might be doing wrong as 
I THINK what I'm doing is right.

Below is the config that I'm currently using. I am able to define other 
checks under host1.acme.com and they work fine.

HOST=host1.acme.com
        FILE /usr/bin/make MODE=755
        FILE /usr/bin/gcc MODE=755
HOST=*
        PROC ntpd
        PROC cron
        FILE /usr/bin/make MODE=644
        FILE /usr/bin/gcc MODE=644

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      15m
        CLOCK 60
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 65 80
        MEMACT  90 97
