[hobbit] BBWin Ext Scripts after 30min are unavaliable

[Shea, Graeme A]

You have to modify the first line of the script to specify the timeout
(time to purple) eg.

 

"green status Darth.dhcp green 10/06/2009 2:44:50 PM" The dhcp test on
the server "Darth"  have the standard time out

 

"green+2h status Darth.dhcp green 10/06/2009 2:44:50 PM" The dhcp test
on the server "Darth" will timeout in 2 hours.

 

"green+1d status Darth.dhcp green 10/06/2009 2:44:50 PM" The dhcp test
on the server "Darth" will  timeout in 1 day

 

There is (or was) a bug in BBWin in that you have to have data on the
first line after the status or ZyMon generates an error. 

 

Hope this helps

Regards

Graeme

Hi Greg,

thank you for your support, it gave me the right direction! =D

I found out that this lifetime in the scripts should look like this:

$BB $BBDISP "status+70 $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` OK"






but the Windows .vbs scripts dont give such parameters back to
hobbit-server... I just dont know how to implement this "status+time" in
the vbs scripts...

another thing is that the column dont get purple but black! 


Thanks

By default, the Hobbit server expects your tests to update at least once
every 30 minutes.  This is the LIFETIME parameter.  After "LIFETIME"
expires with no updates the server marks the test "purple" and sends an
alert.

 

The fix is simple -- in your script you need to send a LIFETIME value
when you send your status message.  If you test once every day, you need
to calculate LIFETIME as 24 * 60 + some extra in case your test is
delayed from some reason.

 

You can read about this in the man pages for the "bb" command (Xymon
communications program).

Hi guys,

im monitoring with some external scripts on my BBWin and when i try to
set up the "check time" higher (like one time a day) I noticed that the
column get unavaliable after 30 minutes for this client.

Is it a know issue?

I also tryed to put this paragraphs (i readed it here somewhere) in the
hobbit-client.cfg:

MAXMSG_DATA="5242880"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="5242880"
MAXMSG_STATUS="5242880"


Nothing works... do i have to setup something else on server/client
side?

TIA
