OK, I'm very new to BigSister. Just got it to the point of getting it to email alarm properly on loss of connectivity, or other red conditions. Peter Varlien asked a question a week ago and I didn't see an answer to it. I will need the same functionality so I ask again. Is there a way to notify on a staus change, then notify on a second worse status change? I've printed the BigSister book from Joerg's site, and read most of it. First, is there another documentation source I should be using instead of/in-conjunction-with the BigSister-Manual2108.pdf? Here are some more questions I have: I can set msgs in bb_event_generator.cfg, but there is no matching Health Check command. It probably maps to syslog and eventlog and maybe to snmp, but where do I find that info? syslog mentions "See below for a description of the format". There is no description. Does "hostname proto=udp ping" work? I have no firewall in place at either end, but can't get it to work at all. I found a reference to external and got icp ping via external ping program working, but can't ascertain why "hostname proto=udp ping" doesn't work. -- Wayne Walker suppressed Do you care who calls your cell phone at 3 in the morning? www.gnumber.com suppressed Do you use Linux?! http://www.bybent.com Get Counted! http://counter.li.org/ Perl - http://www.perl.org/ Perl User Groups - http://www.pm.org/ Jabber: suppressed AIM: lwwalkerbybent IRC: wwalker on freenode.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
