Just a small note, but this wasn't fixed in post_RC6_v2.patch- # It is controlled via the bbcombotest.cfg file.

[hobbit] New IP breaks hobbit

Ok, scratch that. I removed some logs and forced things to reupdate after that and it's happier. I've still got a number of red alerts because I've got routes that don't allow things in this block to talk to other things, but that's a whole other mess. Thanks anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Kimberly McKinnis Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 11:09 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] New IP breaks hobbit So... While I was on vacation for a week, someone changed the IP address of the machine that I run Hobbit on, and of course everyone else is now out sick, so I have no idea why. I came back to Hobbit rather pissed off. I changed its IP in bb-hosts and hobbitserver.cfg but after I restarted it, it loads all of the alerts purple. I'm running RC5 on a Gentoo machine with a 2.6 kernel, and didn't see this as a documented bug. While I noticed that RC6 is out, I'm playing catch up from vacation and won't have time to upgrade just yet. Just thought I'd ask if I was missing something easy... Do I have to change the IP elsewhere? Thanks :) ~Kim To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

vmstat format for Red Hat 7.x systems
by tgeorgoulias＠mcclatchy.com 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Ever since I've started testing hobbit to replace big brother, I've found that I need to force the use of the debian3/linux 2.2 vmstat output format for the handful of systems I have that still run Red Hat 7.1 with 2.4 kernels. As a result, I've been maintaing my own local patch that modifies do_vmstat.c, misc.c, misc.h to handle this. Keeping my local patch updated is much easier since the post RC6 v2 patch came out, since I need to modify only misc.c from now on (thanks for simplying that Henrik! ;). Before I ramble on anymore, I was wondering if others were having success with vmstat graphing on Red Hat 7.x in its default form with Hobbit. It'd be nice to not have to maintain my own local patch, but I'm not sure how customized some of our 7.x systems really are. Just wondering. Tom

Hi All I am not sure if I missed something but, ever since I upgraded to RC6 last Fri, I do not see the graphs getting populated anymore. Here is how my [bbdisplay] section looks like [bbdisplay] ENVFILE /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd GROUP generators CMD bbgen --hobbitd --recentgifs --pagetitle-links --maxrows=12 --pagetext-headings --no-underline- headings --ignorecolumns=maint --subpagecolumns=2 --report --rss --rsslimit=yellow LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log INTERVAL 1m LARRDCOLUMN="trends" in my hobbitserver.cfg file My larrd-status.log file did not get updated since Mar 25 12:15 EST I am tempted to add --larrd in the bbgen CMD Any suggestions? -- 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

bb-xsnmp.pl
by dave＠auctionhelper.com 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

I am trying to get bb-xsnmp installed and not having much luck. I was running this before with BB. Im usning the bb-xsnmp i downloaded from Deadcat and put the script in /home/hobbit/server/ext and created a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-xsnmptab added the script to hobbitlaunch.cfg. [bbxsnmp] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl LOGFILE /var/log/hobbit/bb-xsnmp.log INTERVAL 1m when I execute the script manually it works without errors. When I start hobbit it creates the log file but nothing is in it. When I change the value in the bb-xsnmp.pl script "our $is_commandline = 0" to "our $is_commandline = 1" and tail the log file it spits the correct data out. But nothing is displayed on the page. any suggestions, Dave
