RE: [hobbit] Load threasholds when bbwin in 'central' mode

["Whilding, Craig" <Craig_Whilding (at) mentor.com>]

These weren't on separate pages per OS.

 

I hadn't seen the CLASS values you can base rules on. Works great though
as I can put the defaults back down for UNIX and set high windows class
ones based on the percentage.

 

Thanks,

 

Craig

I don't use this setting myself, but BBWin.cfg has a configclass entry
that defaults to "win32". You can use CLASS variables in hobbit-clients
on the server to apply rules to clients based on that value. If win32 is
too generic you can change it to, for example, win32_XXX.

Is there a way to change the windows 'load' to be 'load percentage' or
something so each type of box is using a different monitoring type? I
know there were discussions about having UNIX boxes sending in a load
percentage but that this was a difficult thing to achieve correctly.

 
Our hostnames are normally dictated by service rather than platform
unfortunately so I can't always just put so8/w2k etc pcre expressions in
the thresholds to differentiate OS type.
 


Do you have the windows servers on a different page to the UNIX / linux
ones? You can use the PAGE statement for that.

You may also be able to use it based on client but personally i have not
used it
