ftp silent test
by damiano.vozza＠apss.tn.it 18 Nov '05

Hi, on some host I use the ftp:s (silent test) tag and the response is ALWAYS of this type: service ftp on host_name is not OK : Unexpected service response Seconds: 0.00 with yellow status. Instead ftp tests report "correct" situation. Can you tell me if this is the normal behaviour for ftp:s test?

Sorry about that.. Got two more (probably dumb questions) The bbgen test is showing up yellow on my bb-server and its saying it can't open the event log. I don't see anything in the docs about where its attemping to write. Also is there any advantage to using the hobbit client versus using the bb client?

[hobbit] hobbit + bb-xsnmp.pl

In case this can help anyone else I have included Dan's patch and all the various fixes I have for bb-xsnmp.pl and put it up to deadcat: http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=929 The 1.78_beta (my main starting point) was from Ben Pitzer who has done a lot of work getting the script working. I have not been able to get back in touch with him though as my last contact was over a year ago. (just want to give credit were credit is due). I hope others find this as useful as I have.

External Client scripts and MACHINE environment
by iqbala-hobbit＠qwestip.net 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi All I just started using bb-cpu2[1] on ~hobbit/client/ext of version 4.1.2. I am noticing it $MACHINE has no value inside the script while I run a test like this ./bin/bbcmd sh -x ~hobbit/client/ext/bb-cpu2.sh Here is a google cache of the bb-cpu2 on deadcat.net since the site seems kind a slow now. http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:6p53UoHzUEcJ:www.deadcat.net/BB/ext/cpu2… I checked all the emails upto Oct 5th and don't think saw a good answer to this problem. I hate to declare the value of MACHINE inside the script. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I just migrated my BB install to hobbit. Notcing one huge problem. On safari and firefox whenever I click any of the links that use any of the cgi's its trying to download that shell script instead of executing it. In my httpd.conf I have the dir that has the hobbit-cgi stuff marked as ExecCGI. I'm stumped. ideas? -paul Paul Swinderman Network Operations Analyst IT @ CSUMB / Network Services (831) 582-3802 paul at csumb.edu

bb-xsnmp.pl
by PNIXON＠ci.somerville.ma.us 18 Nov '05

Hey all, I'm trying to debug whether or not an external script is launching. If I run it by hand, it works perfectly. I've checked all the log files in /var/log/hobbit and there's nothing apparent from them it's working. I'm assuming it runs once when it starts and then in 5m intervals (according to hobbitlaunch.cfg). here's my snippet from hobbitlaunch [xsnmp] ENVFILE /bb/hms/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD /bb/hms/server/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-xsnmp.log INTERVAL 5m

What do you have in the bb-xsnmp.log file? Do you have a bb-xsnmptab file in /bb/hms/server/etc ? I assume this is running on the hobbitd server since you have "NEEDS hobbitd" > -----Original Message----- > From: PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us [mailto:PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us] > Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 2:48 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] bb-xsnmp.pl > > Hey all, > I'm trying to debug whether or not an external script is launching.

Delay before seeing a new host in the Hobbit map
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi again - with a "real" problem this time ;-) when adding a new host in Hobbit, it takes sometimes a few minutes for this host's tests to appear on the map (only the host itself appears on the map). I even run bbtest-net on it, but no files appear in ~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host> $ echo "10.20.30.40 testhost" >> ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts $ ~hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net --debug testhost [snip] 2005-11-17 15:56:23 Adding to combo msg: status testhost.conn red  Thu Nov 17 15:56:19 2005 conn NOT ok 2005-11-17 15:56:23 Flushing combo message status testhost.conn red  Thu Nov 17 15:56:19 2005 conn NOT ok [snip] 2005-11-17 15:56:23 Connect status is 0 2005-11-17 15:56:23 Sent 251 bytes 2005-11-17 15:56:23 Closing connection 2005-11-17 15:56:23 1 status messages merged into 1 transmissions [snip] $ ls ~hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost ls: ~/hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost: No such file or directory The hobbitd column shows this : Ghost reports: 10.20.30.40 reported host testhost If I restart Hobbit, the host's test appear on the map and files can be found in ~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host> It looks like this "delay" is equal to hobbitd's checkpoint interval (600 seconds by default)... Do you have a clue ? Thanks again. Regards, -- Frédéric Mangeant Steria EDC Sophia-Antipolis

Wrong background color
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 17 Nov '05

Hi Henrik the BB client went down on 2 of my hosts (they became purple in Hobbit), but the page background is still yellow, instead of being purple. I'm running bbgen with the following options : CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --nopropred=AHD --subpagecolumns=2 --pages-last --pagetext-headings --recentgifs=60 --purplelog=/tmp/purple.log --noproppurple=NetBackup Removing all these options does not work. System is Gentoo Linux x86, running Hobbit 4.1.2p1 + the 2 patches. I've uploaded a screenshot here : http://img497.imageshack.us/img497/6113/hobbitbadbackgroundcolor5pt.png Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, -- Frédéric Mangeant Steria EDC Sophia-Antipolis

Hello Henrik, i have the same problem with a solaris client (Solaris 8 + 10). Hobbit versions 4.1.2p1 + yesterdays snapshot. > Is there a "hobbitlaunch" process running ? Yes > Is there a /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt file with a recent > (i.e. within the pas 5 minutes) timestamp ? is uptodate (fresh every 5 minutes) The server has the fresh client information, because the call http://<hobbit-server>/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=<my_client> shows the current (and correct) client data How can i help in debugging ?
