[hobbit] bb-central

[Tim Rotunda]

Dan,
Thanks for the info.  I just started my learning curve a few days ago and already have 32 servers monitored.

I am under the gun to prove Hobbit a better tool than Nagios and it looks to me like incorporating bb-central is all the ammo I will need.  Very powerful if I can get it to work well.

Thanks again,
Tim
Austin, Texas.

In hobbit, it would be hobbitlaunch.cfg that you would fiddle with.  You
just create a new entry like this one I made for bbmrtg.pl:

[bbmrtg]
        ENVFILE /var/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/bbmrtg.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbmrtg.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Ditto.  I haven't played with bb-central under hobbit yet, but that's
coming up soon on my agenda.  Any pointers you come up with are most
appreciated.
