1. Can I use hyperic to run a script on the hyperic server(3.02 open source ubuntu linux)
at some interval of time. Or do I have to use cron on the linux box ???
2. If I run a script that creates a new file with the same name every say 5 min which creates a status file of all the switches and routers at our site and show failed or ok. Can I use the alert options if it fails 3 times in 15 min ??? Or because the file is recreated each time will that mess up hyperic logic. I have created a alert looking at the file for failures and have
successfully fired off an alert (that specifys whenever the condition (failure occurs in the lines), but when I say alert me if this failure occurs 3 times in 15 min . I dont get alerts even though I recreated the file 3 times with failures.
