NAME¶
bbcombotest - Xymon combination test tool
SYNOPSIS¶
bbcombotest --help
bbcombotest --version
bbcombotest [--debug] [--quiet]
DESCRIPTION¶
bbcombotest is a Xymon extension script that runs on the BBDISPLAY
server. It combines the results of one or more of the normal Xymon test
results into a combined test result, using standard arithmetic og logical
operators.
The resulting tests are sent to the Xymon display server as any normal test - so
all of the standard Xymon functions (history, statistics etc.) are available
for the combined tests.
The tool was born from the need to monitor systems with built-in redundancy and
automatic failover - e.g. load-balanced web servers. But other uses are
possible.
OPTIONS¶
- --quiet
- Normally, the test status sent by bbcombotest includes
information about the underlying test results used to determine the
current value of the combined test. "--quiet" eliminates this
information from the test status page.
- --debug
- Provide debugging output for use in troubleshooting
problems with bbcombotest.
- --no-update
- Dont send any status messages - instead, the result of the
combotests is simply dumped to stdout. Useful for debugging.
FILES¶
- $BBHOME/etc/bbcombotest.cfg
- Configuration file for bbcombotest, where the combined
tests are defined
- $BBHOME/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
- Configuration file controlling when bbcombotest is run.
