Synopsis

%Option [ ImmediateHTML KeepGroups BBLog StartOK ]

Description

If arguments are prefixed with a '-' switch the option off, if prefixed with '+' switch it on. If no prefix is given '+' is assumed.

ImmediateHTML

(default: off)

write HTML status files immediately on status receipt no matter if the status text has changed or not.

KeepGroups

(default: off)

read saved grouping information on startup and whenever the configuration changes - do not lose dynamic group information

BBLog

(default: on)

Log incoming status messages to www/logs/*.* files ("BB compatible logging")

StartOK

(default: off)

When the display server receives the first status message for a new host/check, assume the status was green before. This has effects on alarming: If StartOK is off then no alarm will be generated if a newly added check already reports "down". If StartOK is on then the alarm generator will handle the status as if it had changed from green to the reported status.

DNS

(default: off)

if disabled, bbd and bsmon will never try to use name resolution. The effect of this is that you may not use host or domain names in the permissions file. Enabling name resolution on the other hand may result in serious performance degradation if the name resolution service is hit by a problem - however, it is essential that Big Sister works well in case of troubles, so making Big sister depend on the network/systems it should monitor is never a good idea.
