SYNOPSIS
bbcombotest --helpbbcombotest --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
