Re: [hobbit] ping and traceroute



Hi Dominique,

thanks! Read this page a dozen times (for other purposes) - a good example for "you will see only what you expect" :-(

Good morning,

this is an idea for a feature request. It would be nice if there would happen a traceroute automatically if conn/ping fails. So the result of traceroute could be displayed in addition to the negative ping results and we would know if the problem is at in our net or outside.

Alternative: All standart tests of hobbit would allow to add scripts to be executed once a test fails. So everyone can handle this as (s)he likes.

I wish all of you a silent pager the next days!

This fearure is already available.

----Extract of bb-hosts man page----
...
     trace
          If the connectivity test fails, run a "traceroute"  and
          include the output from this in the status message from
          the failed connectivity test. Note: For this  to  work,
          you may have to define the TRACEROUTE environment vari-
          able, see hobbitserver.cfg(5)
