NAME

       orcahobbit - Xymon client utility to grab data from ORCA

SYNOPSIS

       orcahobbit --orca=PREFIX [options]

NOTICE

       This  utility is included in the client distribution for Xymon 4.2.  However, the backend module to parse the data it sends it NOT included
       in Xymon 4.2. It is possible to use the generic Xymon NCV data handler in hobbitd_rrd(8) to process ORCA data, if you have an  urgent  need
       to do so.

DESCRIPTION

       orcahobbit  is an add-on tool for the Xymon client. It is used to grab data collected by the ORCA data collection tool (orcallator.se), and
       send it to the Xymon server in NCV format.

       orcahobbit should run from the client hobbitlaunch(8) utility, i.e. there must be an entry in the clientlaunch.cfg(5) file for orcahobbit.

OPTIONS

       --orca=PREFIX
	      The filename prefix for the ORCA data log. Typically this is the directory for the ORCA logs, followed by "orcallator".  The  actual
	      filename for the ORCA logs include a timestamp and sequence number, e.g. "orcallator-2006-06-20-000". This option is required.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.

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.
