Hi there… I saw your question posted
to the list, but didn’t really have an answer so I didn’t reply. I
thought there might be a script on deadcat.net to help you out, but didn’t
see anything. My original reply was to your broader question, stating that you
could write your own extension script. The quick and dirty way might be to
write 3 little separate scripts that check hostname.domain:port. By then
listing these in the svcerrlist, it would create a column for each.
Also, inherently, Big Brother can do port
checks to make sure the port is accessible, if that’s all you want. From
the bb manual: You have to define the network service name in the BBNETSVCS
variable of etc/bbdef-server.sh. In the bb-hosts you declare that new TCP test
by putting in entry in this format: svcname:portnumber i.e. mytest:1234 -
Test port 1234 and return it with the mytest status name
I’m posting this back to the list so
that it shows up in archives for further reference.

Hey,
Actually, I am just passing a URL using http like this in the bb-hosts file
10.12.11.140 newyork #
http://newyork.oz.convergys.com:8881/login.jsp |
http://newyork.oz.convergys.com:8882/login.jsp | http://n
ewyork.oz.convergys.com:8883/login.jsp |
http://newyork.oz.convergys.com:8887/login.jsp
And BB gives me status for these URLS under column "http"
What I want is something like this
Column#1
Column#2 Column#2
Server Name URL1 URL2
URL3
So that it shows me in a tabular format instead of just one http column ( I
have to click http green dot to see the status of all the URLs...I want to see
it on th4e main page with tables setup for each of them)

Yes. When you run extension scripts with BB (scripts located in $BBHOME/ext/),
on your bb server, you go to $BBHOME/etc/bbwarnsetup.cfg and add the column
name and number to svcerrlist.
See adding your own tests (http://demo.bb4.com/bb/bbnc-help/bb-man.html#3.7) in the documentation.

Hey Sean,
I have noticed one thing where Big brother doesn't have support for display.
Have a look the following
http://10.18.5.17/bb/bb.html
This is big brother page
and now have a look at the follwing web page
http://10.18.5.18/bs/index.html This
is using Big Sister
Now if you look the big sister page columns namely AM, Cygent, Geneva, MM, NII,
Syndesis are user generated columns.
Can we have something like this in Big Brother ? I dont know how to do it.
I am using http links to monitor the same components like AM, Cygent etc in Big
Brother
I am wondering if BB has similar display properties.
Please help me.
