RE: [Bigsister-general] Need help with bb-display.cfg

Stefan, thanks for the suggestions. I tried that and the page is still not updating.

If I'm reading the docs correctly, the %page statements in the bb-display.cfg file should actually create the pages referenced, right? So the statements below should result in a file called devel.html being created in www?

It doesn't appear to be happening. There was already a top.html file there; I moved it out of the way to see if a restart (bin/bb_start restart) would regenerate it but it did not.

I also noticed the var/groupings file. Should it be getting updated based upon group definitions in the bb-display.cfg file? That isn't happening either.

All thoughts and/or suggestions are welcome! In case it matters, this is running on a Solaris 9 system.

Thanks,

gene

Hi Gene,

First of all set an + before ImmediateHTML so the html-Pages will be updated immediately something has canged.

then try the following setup (just snippets):

#DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS
developx03 DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT(Development Systems) GLOBAL

%Page top All-Hosts
%title auto
%refto none
%itemref html
%sort severity
%table ALL

%Page devel DevSystems

%title none

%refto DEVELOPMENT devel
%itemref html
%table DEVELOPMENT

Regards,

Stefan

Betreff: [Bigsister-general] Need help with bb-display.cfg

Hi,

I'm new to Big Sister and I am having trouble getting some modifications to take effect in bb-display.cfg. There is an existing setup that has all of the systems on one web page, however I'm trying to get groups setup. I have tried to follow the examples in the Big Sister pdf doc, but I'm not getting the groups to show up at all on the web page. I've restarted Big Sister also to no avail.

Below is the group set up I'm trying to implement. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? There must be either 1) something wrong with my bb-display.cfg or I'm not doing whatever it takes to get the updated cfg file to be read.

thanks for any assitance!

Gene
