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

rrd graphs for bb-xsnmp.pl script
by rdeal＠tigr.org 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

I had a lot of graphs for several routers, ups, etc but they seem to be rather hosed. It looks like the data that was transferred is graphed well but no new data is going in correctly. It seems that any script sending data in a status message is not working. I suspect due to the formatting. One example is bb-xsnmp.pl script. I am using against routers, switches and apc ups. Using an APC ups as an example I get this in the web page: Tue Apr 5 09:23:03 2005 green UPS Temperature: 37? C bb-xsnmp.pl Version: 1.78 but in hobbit/data/rrd/apc1.tigr.org I have: tcp.conn.rrd tcp.telnet.rrd temperature.UPS_Temperature:_37&deg_C.rrd temperature.UPS_Temperature:_38&deg_C.rrd and the graph on the temperature page has no data but two entries at the bottom for UPS_Temperature:_37&deg_C and UPS_Temperature:_38&deg_C This problem is much worse on my switches and routers which have a different line for each sensor and every temperature ever reported.

[hobbit] extension to larrd module for Apache 1.x - patch
by U.Kirbach＠EnBW.com 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hello Henrik, to measure performance data (Busy/Idle Servers) also for Apache 1.x servers not only for Apache 2.x i would suggest to include these small patches (made with "diff -uBbw") to hobbitd/larrd/do_apache.c and hobbit/server/etc/hobbitgraph.cfg This produces 2 additional data sources in the apache rrd (for busy servers and idle servers) --> inconsistency with existing rrd files On the display you see in apache1 graph "Busy/Idle Workers" and "Busy/Idle Servers" together. I'm not a good C programmer and did not look deeper in the code, to make this more elegant. <<do_apache.c.patch>> <<hobbitgraph.cfg.apache.patch>> Mit freundlichen Grüßen Uwe Kirbach -- Uwe Kirbach EnBW Service GmbH Betrieb Enterprise Systeme und Infrastruktur Systemmanagement Unix Durlacher Allee 93 76131 Karlsruhe Tel: +49 (0)721-63-14139

Morning All! Anyone know what log file has the list of what alerts went out and when? I see page.log under /var/log/hobbit but it is totally empty (and an email alert just went out)... Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

apache perf monitoring leaves http test purple
by tgeorgoulias＠mcclatchy.com 02 May '05

02 May '05

I set up Apache performance monitoring today and it's pretty cool. apache.rrd is filling up with data, graphs are working fine and displaying in my trends page, yada yada yaday. I did run into a problem though, my http column remains purple even though I didn't configure Hobbit to monitor a specific url. This is the entry in bb-hosts: 0.0.0.0 hostname.domain.com # "apache=http://1.2.3.4:80/server-status?auto" LARRD:*,vmstat:vmstat|vmstat3|vmstat4|vmstat5,apache:apache|apache2|apache3 The http column remains purple, and clicking through to the status page shows a blank purple page with no data whatsoever and an empty "HTTP Response Times Last 48 Hours" graph. What can I do to get rid of this status, w/o having to set up a http test that points to a proper website? Tom

Remote status display
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 02 May '05

02 May '05

Hello fellow hobbiters, Currently I'm running Hobbit 4.0.2 on a Solaris 9 platform (Host X) and I'm also running BB (Host Y), using the BBRELAY-option (BBRELAY:X.domain.name). On the Hobbit Host X, I've disabled bbnet to prevent to perform a double netwerk check (Both BB *and* Hobbit; too much); bbnet is blue dotted. Then everything works seems to work fine, but... On host Y, there are 7 so called Remote Status Displays (RSD) and each time I refresh the browser, I see all 7 RSD. On Hobbit host X however, a refresh make some RSD disappear!? After waiting some time, and the normal refresh, the page is showing the normal stuff again, so finally it ressembles the BB display. But, it seems to me the RSD are not sticky. Is there some explanation for this behaviour? Thanks in advance, Peter

SLA Export
by MilburnJA＠dot.il.gov 02 May '05

02 May '05

Is there currently a way to get the SLA report data into a file? I need to get the 24x7 uptime and SLA uptime for all devices into an Excel spreadsheet. Even an extract to a text file would work. I could use that for import.

External scripts help

Hi all What am I doing wrong here. I have a custom script to generate tablespace information, and I want to graph the % utilization to spot trends. My data looks like this, and displays nicely on Hobbit. Ah, before I forget, brilliant tool Henrik, thanks. You ever pop into Perth, there's a few cold ones waiting for you. :-) Anyway, back to my data.
