[hobbit] Hobbit Release candidate 2 available

13 Feb '05

OK, I have got to be doing something wrong here. I cannot get the "zoom" feature to work at all. All I see is a broken link in I.E. and using Mozilla-firefox I get a simple hyperlink that allows me to do nothing with the graph. I never see the "glass" icon and I cannot get a zoom function at all.

pg-group like in bigbrother
by iqbala-hobbit＠qwestip.net 13 Feb '05

13 Feb '05

Hi All In bb1.9c I were able to define a pg-group and list couple email address in bbwarnsetup.cfg and I could just use pg-group instead of the list of email addresses in the bbwarnrules.cfg file. The hg-group works very well with hobbit, but how do I create a pg-group, which is essentially a group alias of a list of email addresses, as I explained in the previous paragraph. Anyone has any trick to make pg-group work? Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "...it said: Install Windows XP or better...so I installed Solaris..."

I am running HobitMon R.4-RC1 on RedHat linux AS 3 and under the disk dot I see an incomplete list, see below. I have created 4 LVM file systems that do not appear to have any stats. With BB I know where to look to see, what is going wrong, but not with Hobbit. Any help is appreciated. Also ... is there a place I can search the this mail list online?

Changes to hobbitlaunch.cfg are picked up automatically, and any tasks that need to restart will do so automatically. For the [bbdisplay] task that means it will pick up the new setting on the next run. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

I know I have seen this option but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone tell me how to display the groups in a single column instead of side by side? Thanks KEvin

Trailing slash
by Kevin＠ewormhole.com 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hi all, This may be a bit off topic or a stupid mistake on my part, but it is driving me nuts. My Hobbit installation (RC1 on RH linux 7.2) works just great but there is one thing that doesn't and this is very unlikely to be the hobbit code. When I choose Admin/find host from the menu, I can locate any server but when I click on the link it provides....it goes nowhere...until I supply a trailing "/" in the URL! This has to be in my apache setup but I can't find it!! I am asking for some apache expert to tell me where I made my error. Thanks Kevin

R: [hobbit] R: [hobbit] problem with menu
by fduranti＠q8.it 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Ok done in the script I've done: BBWEB="/hobbit/WIN"; BBMENUSKIN="$BBWEB/menu"; exec bbgen --pageset=win --report=bbgen-win --nopurple --rss --nstab=WIN/nstab.html $BBGENOPTIONS $BBHOME/www/WIN Now it's possible to do that BBMENUSKIN is not necessary to define and will take automatically $BBWEB/menu? Another strange think ... i get the rss files into the main BB folder but i don't get rss file in the pageset directory... It's normal? Francesco _____ Da: Thiesfeld, Gordon [mailto:GThiesfeld at webmd.net] Inviato: giovedì 10 febbraio 2005 21.15 A: hobbit at hswn.dk Oggetto: RE: [hobbit] R: [hobbit] problem with menu Ahh, it never occurred to me to do that. I think you'd have to do something along the lines of this. Use "bbgen --pageset=win --template=win" option for bbgen. Create new header and footer files called win _header & win _footer in $BBHOME/web. In the new header and footer files, change $BBMENUSKIN to $WINMENUSKIN. Add $WINMENUSKIN= "$BBHOME/www/hobbit/WIN/menu" to hobbitserver.cfg I've never tried it, and I might be missing something. But I think that's the gist of it. _____ From: Francesco Duranti [mailto:fduranti at q8.it] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 12:32 PM To: 'hobbit at hswn.dk' Subject: [hobbit] R: [hobbit] problem with menu Thanks for the clarification but I was thinking i could have a different menu for different pagesets (it was a nice option to let users see only their hobbit pages). Francesco _____ Da: Thiesfeld, Gordon [mailto:GThiesfeld at webmd.net] Inviato: giovedì 10 febbraio 2005 19.25 A: hobbit at hswn.dk Oggetto: RE: [hobbit] problem with menu I think you need to modify $BBHOME/www/menu/menu_item.js. Maybe something like this: var MENU_ITEMS = [ ['Views', null, null, ['Main view', '/hobbit/bb.html'], ['All non-green view', '/hobbit/bb2.html'], ['NK view', '/hobbit/bbnk.html'], ['Back','javascript:history.back()'], // The back button ], ['WIN Page Set', null, null, ['Main view', '/hobbit/WIN/bb.html'], ['All non-green view', '/hobbit/WIN/bb2.html'], ['NK view', '/hobbit/WIN/bbnk.html'], ], The full documentation is here: http://www.softcomplex.com/products/tigra_menu/docs/ _____ From: Francesco Duranti [mailto:fduranti at q8.it] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 12:00 PM To: 'hobbit at hswn.dk' Subject: [hobbit] problem with menu Hi all; I've a problem with the menu. I've some alternate pagesets. I create them with a bbdisplay.sh because i need to define the BBWEB environment variable if nothing changed from the last versions) that contains the command: BBWEB="/hobbit/WIN" bbgen --pageset=win --report=bbgen-win --nopurple --rss $BBGENOPTIONS $BBHOME/www/WIN and is launched from the hobbitlaunch config. In the hobbitserver.cfg file i've BBGENOPTIONS="--hobbitd --nopropred=msgs,vmio --pagetext-headings --recentgifs --subpagecolumns=2 --timing --docurl=/bb/admin/notes.php?host=%s --rssversion=2.0 --eventignore=uptime,event,msgs,vmio,legato --includecolumns=graph --bb2-ignorecolumns=legato" I've copied the menu directory into the $BBHOME/www/hobbit/WIN directory and changed the links into the js file to point to /hobbit/WIN/bb2.html but it's not working it seems to point to the root /menu directory. There's something that i've to do to get menu work with alternate sets? It's important because i don't have any link to move around pages in alternates subset. Another request: It's possible to integrate a "back" link button in the header page for example? Thanks for the fantastic work you're doing :D
