bb-disk_by_fs.sh

Hi All Has anyone used bb-disk_by_fs.sh with BB client? I am trying to find out how it will work with HOBBIT? There are few things I am concern about. 1. How will I manage alerts per partition which this script offers? 2. How will the graph work? Thanks for any feedbacks. I guess I could always try it myself on a test system if there is no feedback already. -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, not the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin

out-of-inodes hobbit conn error for all 300 systems

Hi All I am running solaris 9. My hobbit is running off of /export/home/hobbit dir. The `df -i` shows (root)@hobbit:/export/home/hobbit/data$ /usr/local/bin/df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 494592 7665 486927 2% / /dev/md/dsk/d40 504000 63200 440800 13% /usr /dev/md/dsk/d20 494592 8052 486540 2% /var swap 98024 112 97912 1% /var/run swap 98024 112 97912 1% /tmp /dev/md/dsk/d50 504000 16322 487678 4% /opt /dev/md/dsk/d30 1005696 1005005 691 100% /export/home But still have enough disk space per `df -k` (root)@bigbrother:/export/home/hobbit/data$ /usr/local/bin/df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 986131 114371 812593 13% / /dev/md/dsk/d40 2033103 1281660 690450 65% /usr /dev/md/dsk/d20 986131 153015 773949 17% /var swap 2705592 24 2705568 1% /var/run swap 2706504 936 2705568 1% /tmp /dev/md/dsk/d50 2033103 850773 1121337 44% /opt /dev/md/dsk/d30 8261393 4437625 3741155 55% /export/home Wish I had the filesystem built optimized for lots of inodes with small files instead. But it is too late. As far as resources on this system I also have 674M actual and 2642M swap memory left. Either I think of using these resources, like may be creating some RAM disks (Henrik had a tip on that, cant find it) or get rid of `hist' folder which has about 4000 files in it. I really like to keep the `hist' files for report and going back to check for old events. Anyone can think of any suggestion to overcome this predicament?

purple clients problem

I have a problem with clients turning purple after reboot. Client processes run, tmp/msg.txt is updated on client.

I set debug option on hobbit client in hobbitlaunch.cfg - but I don't quite understand output in clientdata.log: CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log --debug hobbitd_client from hobbitlaunch.log on the server ------ 2005-12-28 14:10:31 Task mrtg terminated, status 13 2005-12-28 14:14:21 hobbitlaunch starting 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Loading tasklist configuration from /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Loading hostnames 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Loading saved state 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Setting up signal handlers 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Setting up hobbitd channels 2005-12-28 14:14:21 Setting up logfiles ERROR: writing /etc/mrtg.ok.ok: Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 1477. 2005-12-28 14:14:27 Task mrtg terminated, status 13 ERROR: writing /etc/mrtg.ok.ok: Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 1477. 2005-12-28 14:19:28 Task mrtg terminated, status 13 ------ from clientdata.log ------ 2005-12-28 14:14:11 Semaphore wait aborted: Interrupted system call 2005-12-28 14:14:26 Setting up client channel (id=7) 2005-12-28 14:14:26 calling ftok('/opt/hobbit/server',7) 2005-12-28 14:14:26 ftok() returns: 0x7004344 2005-12-28 14:14:26 shmget() returns: 0x1712 ----- What test should I make to find out what is wrong?

bbtest-net core dumps when reading bb-services
by ad＠dg-i.net 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi, I'm running the 4.1.2.p1-1 .deb-package on a Debian Sarge box. After not getting any test results I realized that the bbtest-net daemon does not even start, but directly segfaults after startup. After playing around with strace I figured out that it has to do with the service definitions. After I moved /etc/hobbit/bb-services away, it starts perfectly, just complaining that it has to use internal defaults. Another uncorrect behaviour (I guess) with the bb-services file from the package in its default location: ------------------------- hobbit at debianbox:~$ bbtest-net --services --debug 2>&1 Command: bbtest-net '--services' '--debug' Environment BBLOCATION='' Environment CONNTEST='TRUE' Environment IPTEST_2_CLEAR_ON_FAILED_CONN='TRUE' Service list dump BBNETSVCS set to : smtp telnet ftp pop pop3 pop-3 ssh imap ssh1 ssh2 imap2 imap3 imap4 pop2 pop-2 nntp Service list dump hobbit at debianbox:~$ -------------------------- I tried even a very minimalistic bb-services file with just the smtp service definition from the bb-services.5 man-page. That also leads to a segfault. Is this a known problem for the Debian package? Could this also have to do with our bb-hosts file that I copied from a BB 1.9c server? Regards, Andreas Dembach

Larrd graphs not working
by JamesHorwath＠glic.com 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

I'm trying to help a coworker debug/fix Hobbit running on Linux 7.2. I know BB pretty well, but I'm just learning Hobbit. Everything on the Hobbit install works fine, except the larrd historical graphs. For example at the bottom of machine X's disk page the icon for the larrd is grayed out. I can click on it and see the next three grayed out icons which should be larrd graphs. I have looked at things like permissions, read some documentation, etc. This is new territory and we need to get the data there. This was working at one time, a change was made and now it does not work. We are not sure what change was made.

Hi, I rebuilt with hobbit-4.1.2p1. The effect is the same. The browser shows only the index. There were no compile errors. I suppose I am missing something obvious but I can't see it. Are there any other logs despite $BBLOGDIR? Thanks for hints where to look at! Rolf This was my first mail which didn't get an answer yet. Finally we want migrate from BB to Hobbit. I build hobbit_4.1.1 on Solaris 9 and started it. Only a part of the processes that should run are actually running. What is missing?

Hobbit HP-UX Depot
by adam.scheblein＠marquette.edu 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Greetings, Would there be any interest in a Hobbit .depot file for easy HP-UX install?? (if so, let me know and I will share with the rest of you) Also -- if you would like this, would you rather have it so that it was 2 separate packages -- server and client? And where do most people install Hobbit into (for example, I install the server to /usr/local/hobbit and I install the client into /usr/users/hobbit) Adam

modify disk graph
by rmcgraw＠purdue.edu 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

I would like to modify one of my disk graphs. On one host under "disk" there is two graphs. One graph has three file systems and the second graph has only one file system. 1) Is there a way that I can force the graphing to show the four file systems on one graph? 2) Can this be done on a per host basis?

[hobbit] Msgs - No log data available
by Todd.Costa＠state.ma.us 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Henrik and Charles J., OK, that's great. I thought I was missing something in my config. And I will look at deadcat next for logging tools for the server side. In reading your replies, I just figured out the MSG.txt file. It is called from the procs column from a link at the bottom of that page. So that clears up my hobbitclient "no data from client" thought. Really, I just needed a slight kick from you guys to figure it out. Thanks for the quick responses.
