What's the easiest way to upgrade to this and preserve current settings? Just make as usual? -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 9:28 AM To: hobbit-announce at hswn.dk; hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Hobbit 4.0 beta-6 available A new beta-version was released to Sourcefore a few minutes ago. If your Sourceforge mirror doesn't have it, you can fetch it from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/ I hope this can be the basis for a full release in about a week. This release includes a number of bugfixes based on the reports I've received about how beta-5 has behaved. Most importantly, I hope that the lockup-problem that caused hosts to disappear until hobbit was restarted is solved. I'm not 100% sure, but I hope that bug has been squashed now. If you see messages like "BOARDBUSY locked" in the hobbitd log-file, I would like to know! Alert handling has been re-thought, and should now be a lot more stable and behave as one would expect. The "apache" test should no longer crash, and you can provide your own URL for requesting the server-status data from Apache, like "apache=http://10.0.0.1:8080/intranet/server-status?auto" Disabled hosts and tests now include the "disable" information in the status display. hobbitlaunch now keeps an even closer eye on hobbitd that before. If you upgrade with the "make setup" command, please add the keyword "HEARTBEAT" to the hobbitlaunch.cfg file in the [hobbitd] section: [hobbitd] HEARTBEAT ENVFILE .... CMD hobbitd ..... Some build problems have been solved, on NetBSD and Solaris. I now have Hobbit running on Linux (Mandrake + Debian), Solaris, NetBSD and FreeBSD.

removing a server/service
by rwaegner＠questia.com 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Greetings! As a test, I enabled a few network services I knew would error out. Now that I have finished that part of testing, I need to remove those checks because all of these old network tests are purple. In bb it was bbrm, what's the hobbit command to remove services from the system? Regards, Rick

hobbit bea graphing
by rwaegner＠questia.com 23 Jan '05

I noticed a "bea[2][3]" definition in the hobbitgraph.cfg file. How do I enable the monitoring/graphing of bea weblogic servers? That would absolutely be a blessing!!! Rick
