Webbin' FAQ
Webbin' FAQ
Do I need to start Liaison on each host I want to monitor?
No. You can start Liaison on one host and then access Liaison
from remote.
What do I have to do in case I experience problems with the droplets
(unable to load droplet XXXX, or unable to find droplet YYYY)?
You can stop Liaison, delete the file Droplets/index and restart
it. This forces Liaison to rebuild the index file which contains
the droplet names and the services they provide.
Why does Liaison's allocated memory grow while I use it?
This is because the current publicly avaiable version of Liaison
has been protected with a timebomb and removing some routines
which free Liaison's memory. This is necessary to prevent people
using Liaison for commercial purposes.
Why my SNMP agent is not discovered by the /SNMP/DISCOVERY/ droplet?
Make sure that you have modified the discovery.cfg file and added
the entries corresponding to your network.
How can I develop new droplets?
In one of the future releases we hope to provide you a sort of
'droplet wizard' which can help developers to create the droplets
they need.
Where can I find some documentation about Webbin?
We're in the process of writing some manuals. For the time being,

Webbin home page and access online the documents currently available.

When will you port Liaison to other platform?
