NAME
       hobbitd_history - hobbitd worker module for logging status changes

SYNOPSIS
       hobbitd_channel --channel=stachg hobbitd_history [options]

DESCRIPTION
       hobbitd_history is a worker module for hobbitd, and as such it is normally run via the hobbitd_channel(8) program. It receives hobbitd sta-
       tus-change messages from the "stachg" channel via stdin, and uses these to update the history logfiles in a manner that is compatible  with
       the standard Big Brother daemon, bbd.

OPTIONS
       --histdir=DIRECTORY
	      The directory for the history files. If not specified, the directory given by the BBHIST environment is used.

       --histlogdir=DIRECTORY
	      The directory for the historical status-logs. If not specified, the directory given by the BBHISTLOGS environment is used.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.

ENVIRONMENT
       BBALLHISTLOG
	      This  environment  variable  controls if the $BBHIST/allevents logfile is updated. This file is used by the event-log display on the
	      BB2 html page. If you do not use this, you can disable it by setting BBALLHISTLOGS=FALSE.

       BBHOSTHISTLOG
	      This environment variable controls if the $BBHIST/HOSTNAME logfile is updated. This file holds a list of all status changes seen for
	      a  single  host,	but is not used by any of the standard Xymon tools. If you do not want to save this, you can disable it by setting
	      BBHOSTHISTLOG=FALSE.

       SAVESTATUSLOG
	      This environment variable controls if the historical status-logs are saved whenever a  status  change  occurs.  These  logfiles  are
	      stored  in the $BBHISTLOGS directory, and are used for the detailed log-display of a status from the Xymon "History" page. If you do
	      not want to save these, you can disable it by setting SAVESTATUSLOG=FALSE.

FILES
       This module does not rely on any configuration files.
