NAME¶
bbretest-net.sh - Xymon network re-test tool
SYNOPSIS¶
bbretest-net.sh
DESCRIPTION¶
bbretest-net.sh is an extension script for Xymon that runs on the network
test server. It picks up the failing network tests executed by the
bbtest-net(1) program, and repeats these tests with a faster test cycle
than the normal bbtest-net schedule. This means that when the server recovers
and the network service becomes available again, this is detected quicker
resulting in less reported downtime.
Only tests whose first failure occurred within 30 minutes are included in the
tests that are run by bbretest-net.sh. The 30 minute limit is there to avoid
hosts that are down for longer periods of time to bog down bbretest-net.sh.
You can change this limit with the "--frequenttestlimit=SECONDS"
when you run bbtest-net.
INSTALLATION¶
This script runs by default from your
hobbitlaunch.cfg(5) file.
FILES¶
- $BBTMP/TESTNAME.LOCATION.status
- Temporary status file managed by bbtest-net with status of
tests that have currently failed.
- $BBTMP/frequenttests.LOCATION
- Temporary file managed by bbtest-net with the hostnames
that bbretest-net.sh should test.
