[hobbit] Suppress info columns
by GThiesfeld＠webmd.net 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Is there a way to suppress the info column for certain hosts (a noinfo tag, maybe)? I want to create a fake host on my top page with one column (temp), and I don't want an info column, because it's a fake host.

I am getting data from iishealth but no graphs. In BB I had to call the iishealth-larrd.sh from bb-bbexttab. Is there an equivalent place to call it from in Hobbit? Regards KEvin

Mailing list / server problems
by henrik＠hswn.dk 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

One of my servers decided to crash around 7 AM CET (GMT+1) this morning. I've rebuilt the server now, and most stuff appears to be working, but part of the mailsetup still needs some going over before I'm sure that it works. In other words - if your mails to the list aren't getting through, dont bother telling me: I'm working on it. Things should be back to normal later tonight. The crash did not affect any of the systems I use for Hobbit development, so apart from taking up my time it hasn't affected the Hobbit development. Regards, Henrik

vmstat graphing with CPU io wait
by tgeorgoulias＠nandomedia.com 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

My old BB setup has a customized vmstat-larrd.pl script which allows for variations in vmstat output based on the version of procps. In other words, it compensates for the fact that RHEL3 and old red hat linux systems have vmstat output who's column ordering doesn't match up. So I'd like to bring some of those vmstat changes into my new hobbit setup, most notably the ability to plot CPU wait for IO (wa) alongside user, system & idle time, but poking around in hobbitgraph.cfg doesn't reveal an easy way to do it. Any tips on how I might accomplish this? Tom

Hi all, Is there a way to hide the "Help" selection from the menu bar? If our executives see this they will start telling me how to run and configure everything!! We have too many self-appointed experts. Please help Kevin
