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

hobbit-mailack

Hi I am loving the hobbit-mailack. It works very well. I just like to request a 'notify' feature to the SYNOPSIS hobbit-mailack --env=FILENAME [--debug] Something like hobbit-mailack --env=FILENAME [--debug] --notify <email at address.one> <email2 at address.one> That way when I delay an alert everyone else who were also getting alerts will have an option to be notified about this action So if I send an email as a reply to an alert delay 1h msg I am working on it now All admins/users who were receiving the alert should get an email hostname:service has been delayed 1h Delayed by: <users info who delayed it> Reason: I am working on it now Just my feedback for a future feature :-) -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "..there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit...try to be in the first group;...less competition there." - Indira Gandhi

Zoomed in graphs lose hostname
by dstuffle＠deltafaucet.com 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

I know this is really minor, but when I zoom in on a graph the hostname at the top of the graph changes to "undefined". It only matters when we print the graph, we don't know which host it was from. Again, really minor but I thought I'd mention it in case it's one of those quicky fixes.

Hobbit 4.0 available
by henrik＠hswn.dk 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Copenhagen, March 31 2005 I am pleased to announce the availability of the Hobbit Monitor version 4 systems- and network-monitoring package. Hobbit is available from the SourceForge archive at http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/ Hobbit is a systems- and network-monitoring system, designed to handle large networks with thousands of hosts. However, it is also simple to setup and extremely light-weight, so using it on a small network with just a few servers is also possible. Hobbit lets you monitor network services - e.g. Web-, mail-, LDAP- and DNS-servers - by sending them full requests and checking if the response is as expected. Clients can be installed on the monitored hosts to collect performance metrics, e.g. cpu-, disk- and memory-utilisation. All data is available via an easy-to-use web-based interface, both the current real-time state of the services, and the historical information about past events. Graphs of the collected data are automatically generated and available immediately. A live demonstration of the Hobbit monitor can be found at the authors' website, http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ A flexible alert mechanism allows for events to trigger alerts via e-mail, or you can easily integrate a pager mechanism to alert you of problems. Alerts can be customised to match the business requirements, so you can monitor hosts on a 24x7 basis, or using whatever schedule is appropriate. Hobbit builds on the popular "bbgen" tools previously distributed as an add-on to the "Big Brother" monitor from Quest Software, but is a complete re-design and re-implementation of the monitoring server. Hobbit does not require any previous Big Brother installation, but if you have used Big Brother previously, you can easily migrate to Hobbit. Hobbit is Open Source software, released under the GNU GPL license. Regards, Henrik
