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 ╲deletedhost*╡; 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.
