Host Groups in hobbit-alerts.cfg as per BB?
by Andy＠zespri.com 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Is it possible to create "host groups" for alerting as per the bbwarnsetup.cfg and bbwarnrules.cfg files in Big Brother? The hobbit-alerts.cfg file mentions I can use regular expression type wildcards, but some servers for which I want the same alerting do not follow any such pattern. Does using "%hostA1|hostA2|hostB3|otherhost" fake the grouping?

bb-larrdcolumn and NetBSD

Hi I'm trying to debug what goes wrong with bb-larrdcolumn on NetBSD: # ./bb-larrdcolumn Memory fault (core dumped) Is there a particular command line usage to get closer to how it is executed during normal operation? gdb says that: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x480e000c in strcpy () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12 (gdb) bt #0 0x480e000c in strcpy () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12 #1 0x0807cde0 in fdhead () #2 0x0804b540 in load_hostnames (bbhostsfn=0x0, extrainclude=0x0, fqdn=1, docurl=0x0) at loadhosts_file.c:61 #3 0x0804a17d in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfedac) at bb-larrdcolumn.c:439 #4 0x080494c2 in ___start () Defining BBHOSTS and BBVAR in the environement works around theses crashes I suggest the following patch: --- bb-larrdcolumn.c.orig 2005-01-17 14:46:56.000000000 +0100 +++ bb-larrdcolumn.c 2005-01-17 14:48:59.000000000 +0100 @@ -428,8 +428,18 @@ } - if (bbhostsfn == NULL) bbhostsfn = getenv("BBHOSTS"); + if ((bbhostsfn == NULL) && + ((bbhostsfn = getenv("BBHOSTS")) == NULL) { + errprintf("BBHOSTS is not defined"); + exit(1); + } + if (rrddir == NULL) { char dname[PATH_MAX]; + if (getenv("BBVAR") == NULL) { + errprintf("BBVAR is not defined"); + exit(1); + } + sprintf(dname, "%s/rrd", getenv("BBVAR")); rrddir = strdup(dname); If BBHOSTS and BBVAR are defined, it still crashes.

Well, in the old BB "purple delay" was how long bb would wait before declaring a service purple (by whatever reason, in this case not receiving any updates). After some time all services provided by an external process on hobbit go purple, and I'm quite sure that the externall process is still feeding hobbit messages but I'm trying to understand why it decides that something is wrong and changes the color to purple ...

Hey Henrik, Is there any way to replicate all messages received on port 1984 to a text file for debugging purposes ? Another question: the purple delay in hobbit, is it as documented in the original BB specified in minutes ? Thanks, Wim
