Subject	RE: {bb} bb-memory no display

Hi ,

Thanks for your suggestions. But I still can not get memory displayed.

1. I installed bb-memory on the BB server and copied the file in to
BBHOME/ext and restarted BB.

Installing bb-memory on the BB server
means you can run the test on the server and see the results of the server's
memory use.  If you want to monitor a client, the script must be installed
on the client.

2. I added entry on to the client bb-bbexttab.DIST with the following
line and restarted BB.
localhost : : bb-memory.sh
Is this localhost from is the client IP or server ip on the BB Client,
I
tried both values, but no success.

You must fist install bb-memory on the client.  Then in the .../bb/etc directory, either copy or rename bb-bbexttab.DIST to be bb-bbexttab.  The ".DIST" files are the sample DISTribution files and are not used by BB.  In bb-bbesttab, you may use either "localhost" or the actual name of the host.  Restart BB on the CLIENT after both installing bb-memory and modifying bb-bbexttab.

I still can not see memory from the BBDISPLAY.

Any inputs in this regard are much appreciated.

Regards
Mabu

A "memory" status should show up on the BB page automatically.

bb-memory.

Not in bb-hosts, but you do need to add the bb_memory.sh script to the
bb-bbexttab file on the clients (and restart BB afterwards).

LARRD should pick up the memory status reports and generate graphs
from them automatically.
