[hobbit] alerts won't stop

Mon Mar 3 16:42:09 CET 2008

under the server install, I believe you want to just do: ./bin/bb localhost "drop hostname" after making sure that it's no longer in bb-hosts.

If you have the admin scripts you can use the clean script.  If you don't have the script then you need to use the hobbit del host command...I'm lazy and using the GUI so I can't help you here =(

The problem is that it is still purple, therefor it alerts you.  You need to get rid of the purple messages.

I'm still having trouble with Hobbit sending out "purple" alert messages for a machine that was disabled weeks ago. I've removed all mention of the box from the Hobbit configuration files and have even restarted Hobbit, although I dislike doing so. Does anybody have any ideas on how to stop this? It's beginning to annoy people.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

Can't really say, the false alerts only come out one a day (had repeat set to 1 day in hobbit-alerts).

Oh.  Well, make sure you have removed those servers from server/etc/bb-hosts and try running bb localhost "drop <servername>" on your Hobbit server again (as the previous poster recommended).

Don't think that is it, the test that is getting reported as purple is "conn".

If those machines have a Hobbit or Big Brother client installed and still running, there is your problem.

I have removed some machines from hobbit, taken all mention of them from the configuration files and issued the "drop" command using bb. I am still getting notified of their "purple" status every day, and it has been several weeks since I removed them from Hobbit. How can I stop these alerts from being generated?
