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.
