Re: {bb} Setting up 2 BBDISPLAYs to monitor each other

[bb-list@ap.org]

If I assign BBDISPLAY on the bb-hosts
on each server

ie:

server 1 bb-hosts:
- - - - - 
10.0.0.1  bbdisplay.ny.domain.com
               #
BBDISPLAY BBNET BBPAGE
10.1.0.1  bbdisplay.ca.domain.com
               #
BBDISPLAY

page web Web Servers
group-compress <H3><I>Web
Servers</I></H3>
10.0.0.10      web01.ny.domain.com
- - - - -

server 2 bb-hosts:
- - - - -
10.1.0.1 bbdisplay.ca.domain.com  
             # BBDISPLAY
BBNET BBPAGE
10.0.0.1 bbdisplay.ny.domain.com  
             # BBDISPLAY

page web Web Servers
group-compress <H3><I>Web
Servers</I></H3>
10.1.0.10      web01.ca.domain.com
- - - - -
I can get the "trends" (cpu,
disk, etc) reported fine.. BUT

bb2.html shows alerts for clients of
the other BBSERVER
So to explain using the above bb-hosts
if web01.ca.domain.com has an error it shows up on the display of bbdisplay.ny.domain.com
as well as bbdisplay.ca.domain.com (which is specified as BBDISPLAY in
the bb-hosts on web01.ca.domain.com).

Without the "# BBDISPLAY"
added they can only retrieve conn tests.. nothing else makes it back (which
makes sense if you compare as client).

Thanks

problem is.. adding it to bb-hosts is fine.. I get PING (conn) to work.

to get actual trends (disk, cpu, etc) each bb-client would have a bb-hosts
file with the correct BBDISPLAY. 

so for each BBSERVER to send its information to the other they would each
need to assign BBDISPLAY to themselves and the other (going by how clients
are normally configured). 

Without this I only get ping it doesn't get the other information because
as a "client" neither server knows to send it to each other.

I'm going to assume you have 2 separate instances of BB running,
each with it's own set of bb-hosts files and a BBDISPLAY.

To have each instance monitor the "other" BBDISPLAY, just put
it's IP address and name in the bb-host file (without the 
BBDISPLAY keyword) and it'll show up like any other host.
