Yes.. you have to convert that into that format for getting the information from the script to the Hobbit, since Hobbit understands only that kind of details.

thanks

Well, I don't have a jboss I can experiment with, but the script from that link looks easy enough to modify.  At the end, where it does 



   echo "JMX ATTRIBUTE......"

you should be able to replace that with something like: 


   $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.jboss green `date`"

where "green" would be "red" or "yellow" for the CRITICAL and WARNING statuses.  The script would be launched by Hobbit on the jboss machine.

If jboss is just handing out some kind of web page, you could do something like this in your server/etc/bb-hosts:

   a.b.c.d myboss.server.com   # http://myjboss.server.com/






or whatever would be an appropriate url for it.  That'll let you know jbos is up and responding.  I'm doing something like this already.  I don't have either access or permission (company policy - thou shalt use CA Unicenter for everything) to run anything on the servers themselves, but I imagine Unicenter is checking that the processes are running and maybe checking log files too.
