First off, I appologize for having sent this
question 3 times in the past 2 days. In hind
sight I believe our spam filter has been
filtering out all the bb mail so I haven't seen
any mail. Could someone either tell me how I
get to the August Mailings (if possible) or be
so kind as to answer my message again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here's the request again:
I have read many entries in the mail list
regarding this topic and have tried many things,
to no avail. Iâ??ll start at the beginning.
I want to remove a host which is dead from bb
monitoring. I looked at the FAQ and followed
those instructions. Entry:(I've removed a host
in etc/bb-hosts and the screen is purple)
After you remove a host(s) in etc/bb-hosts, you must remove the
corresponding files in $BBLOGS, www/html and $BBHIST. BBLOGS and
BBHIST are defined in etc/bbinc.sh
cd www
rm logs/thedeletedhost*
rm html/thedeletedhost*
rm hist/thedeletedhost*
Doing this and having removed the entry from
bb-hosts removes it from the web site but Iâ??m
still getting paged. If I type: find /var/bb
-name â??deletedhost*â??; comes back blank.
Then I looked at the mail list and found entries to:
Shutdown bb
bbrm deleted host
Startup bb
So, I added the host to bb-hosts (using same
name), restarted bb, saw that the host was on
the web site, shutdown bb, ran bbrm (which
produced output that the files had been
removed), started up bb. Still getting paged. I
tried this twice just in case I did something out of order.
Then I saw an entry about stopping the client
software on the host. In my case it is a netapp
box for which bb is just doing a connection
test. To my knowledge there was no client
running on the netapp box and besides, that box is dead.
Then I saw the entry about removing the files in
/var/bb/bb/tmp. I shutdown bb, removed these
files, checked that there were no files with my
deletedhostname under /var/bb, and restarted bb. Still getting paged.
Then I saw an entry about turning on security
with etc/security. So I cp etc/security.DIST
etc/security; and added the the networks that I
wanted to monitor and the individual hosts in
deletedhost's network (left off the IP for deletedhost).
Then I restarted bb. Still getting paged.
Then I tried using ignforall. I edited
bbwarnsetup.cfg and added the delethost
(estore01) to the ignforall. I restarted bb.
This line is in my bbwarnsetup.cfg:ignforall: estore01*.
This netapp box has died and already been
replaced with new IP address and host name and I
need to retire this estore01 name and IP. Any
ideas? Iâ??d love to hear. It is embarrassing
that I canâ??t fix this and everyone knows because of the constant paging.
