NAME¶
hobbitd_history - hobbitd worker module for logging status changes
SYNOPSIS¶
hobbitd_channel --channel=stachg hobbitd_history [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
hobbitd_history is a worker module for hobbitd, and as such it is normally run
via the
hobbitd_channel(8) program. It receives hobbitd status-change
messages from the "stachg" channel via stdin, and uses these to
update the history logfiles in a manner that is compatible with the standard
Big Brother daemon, bbd.
OPTIONS¶
- --histdir=DIRECTORY
- The directory for the history files. If not specified, the
directory given by the BBHIST environment is used.
- --histlogdir=DIRECTORY
- The directory for the historical status-logs. If not
specified, the directory given by the BBHISTLOGS environment is used.
- --debug
- Enable debugging output.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- BBALLHISTLOG
- This environment variable controls if the $BBHIST/allevents
logfile is updated. This file is used by the event-log display on the BB2
html page. If you do not use this, you can disable it by setting
BBALLHISTLOGS=FALSE.
- BBHOSTHISTLOG
- This environment variable controls if the $BBHIST/HOSTNAME
logfile is updated. This file holds a list of all status changes seen for
a single host, but is not used by any of the standard Xymon tools. If you
do not want to save this, you can disable it by setting
BBHOSTHISTLOG=FALSE.
- SAVESTATUSLOG
- This environment variable controls if the historical
status-logs are saved whenever a status change occurs. These logfiles are
stored in the $BBHISTLOGS directory, and are used for the detailed
log-display of a status from the Xymon "History" page. If you do
not want to save these, you can disable it by setting SAVESTATUSLOG=FALSE.
FILES¶
This module does not rely on any configuration files.
