You know what? I'd never thought of splitting rules in that way! Which is probably obvious since your configuration is not supported anymore. I think what...
We have lots of default rules (ones that aren't in a group and thus apply to all hosts), such as whingeing when the load average gets over 10, and so forth....

The below is true for Eddie 0.30. 1. PID checking. ... We are running EDDIE as a non-privileged process. If a PID file exists, but is unreadable, the...

... This requirement has been on my list for a while, so thanks for the excuse to implement it! Actually, it only took about 15mins. Love Python :) I have...
I'm playing with eddie 0.31 to see if it can helps monitoring our network of linux and solaris workstations. A newbye question: if a rule gives a "true" result...
... Hi, surprisingly this request hasn't come up before. I tried to think of a simple way to do this with the current features but I couldn't. Since this is...
Thank you ! I'm testing the new code, and it seems to do exactly what i needed. There may an off-by-one error in the code. The following rule: PROC test: ...
Yet another question: is it possible to define classes of hosts using some command ? For instance, I have a few servers, lots of clients running RedHat 7.3,...
... Yes, I'd love to see this feature as well! For instance, we maintain scripts that output names of all Linux and Solaris clients. I'd love to be able to do...

Hi, dynamic class creation from external commands sounds like a good idea. I will look at the best way to implement it. I have also been thinking of extending...
Sorry, the idea would be that Eddie defines the available variables for the 'match rule' from the system itself. These would be defined from the likes of...
... Would it be more consistent with the current syntax to have an act2bad clause? So you have: action fail act2ok fail->ok act2bad ok->fail ...

Hum, I would really like to be able to query my database of hosts (postgresql) from Eddie... Systeme type is often not enough: a site may use quasi-identical...
Does Eddie always use the command "df" ? If a NFS does not respond, the df command may hangs for a very long time, and Eddie gets stucks. Today, I noticed that...
Hi, yes Eddie calls "df" to get disk usage information. On Linux it calls "df -l" to only check local filesystems, which is supposed to ignore NFS mounts. Are...
... df -l works perfectly on linux, even if a mounted NFS server is down. In fact, after more investigations, Eddie is responding correctly to the failure. ...
As I tried to say, before IMP screwed my last mail... ... Good to hear :) ... If it helps, Eddie can now be configured to send email via a remote SMTP server,...
Hi, what is the "official" way to stop eddie ? I'd like to install eddie as a service (in /etc/init.d) with start/stop/status options (I use eddie_wrapper) Has...
... I'm attaching a startup script that we use here. It starts Eddie as an unprivileged user. You can probably use it as a starting point if you want. -- ...

You will find some sample init.d scripts in eddie/contrib/init.d/ for Redhat and Solaris. I have an improved Redhat init.d script I use now, which I have also...
