Possible bugs
by dstuffle＠deltafaucet.com 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

Just a few things that may be bugs: 1. If I define an alert with DURATION>90, the info column shows it as "1h" instead of "90min". 2. Hobbit-alerts.cfg says that you can do HOST=%www.* to match anything *starting* with www, but I'm seeing that it actually matches *anything* with www in it. I had to do HOST=%^www.*. I guess if I knew Perl regex better I would have realized this in the first place. 3. On the bb2 page, in the list of events in the past xxx minutes, if a test goes from "red/yellow/green" to blue, and you click on the blue image, it doesn't show the blue status page. It shows the status of what it changed from. All other colors seem to work fine, just blue does this. Small issues, just wanted to point them out.

[hobbit] "Demo site", Tests doesn't change from blue to yellow
by dhd733＠yahoo.se 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

It's the same script that starts bb and then enable all tests. The color should turn yellow since the machine is recently rebooted, but the color doesn't change until the hour is ended. /Lars Henrik Stoerner <henrik at hswn.dk> wrote: > ---------- > Från: Henrik Stoerner[SMTP:HENRIK at HSWN.DK] > Skickat: den 10 april 2005 08:56:02 > Till: hobbit at hswn.dk > Ämne: Re: [hobbit] "Demo site", Tests doesn't change from blue to yellow > Automatiskt vidarebefordrat av en regel > On Sun, Apr 10, 2005 at 06:43:14AM +0200, lars ebeling wrote: > > the menuitem "Demo site" has disappeared from > http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ Ah - yes, I really need to get the menu_items.js file flagged as a configuration file in the Debian package. > I wanted to download all patches since my tests doesn't change from > blue to yellow.

But I suppose it does that as soon as it is booted. So it sounds odd. I'll check if the same thing happens here.

Man pages for cgi files
by kmckinnis＠macrovision.com 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

I feel completely stupid right now... But viewing the hobbit man pages on my hobbit web interface gives me errors on any one with cgi in the file name: You don't have permission to access /hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bb-snapshot.cgi.1.html on this server. I'm running Apache 1.3.29 and the apache error_log tells me: [Fri Apr 8 13:20:33 2005] [error] [client 209.11.141.66] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/hobbit/server/www//help/manpages/man1/bb-snapshot.cgi.1.html I know this is more of an apache question, but since it's relevant to my hobbit install, someone must be able to point me in the right direction. It's not a cgi file, but it sees cgi in the filename. Is there a way around this without turning on ExecCGI?

Upgrade procedure

Forgive me, but I can't seem to find the emails where the upgrade procedure was discussed. I have yet to move from RC5 to 4.0.1, and I want to ensure that I don't lose my configs. I recall in an earlier version, to upgrade, you had to remember to use make setup instead of make install, or something similar. Could someone possibly forward it to me or point me to the proper archive link? Thanks a ton. ~Kim

NK view ?
by michael.nemeth＠lmco.com 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Ive start up hobbit, started one bb client and got that to work (need to copy in the hobbit bb-host file) . I not configured anything but some extra network tests (dns http rpc telenet oratns ) . Now the one bb client I have has a "red" disk; Should this be showing in the NK view? If not what shows there and is it configurable and what docs should I look at. Ive looked though the docs and the Feb mail archive (there no March yet?) but may have miss something. Running Hobbit Monitor 4.0.1 <http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/>on hpux 11.0 Ill keep checking the docs but wanr to check here too. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://faraday.motown.lmco.com:3000/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortsweb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi, is there any way to send the hobbitd stats to all displays? I have 3 hobbits now running fine, but only on the local hobbit the hobbitd stats will be displayed and also monitored. Thomas

acknowledgment for a yellow alert doesn't seem to work
by tgeorgoulias＠mcclatchy.com 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Figures, just as I'm about to host a session to show off Hobbit to the support team and roll it out into production, I hit a situation that has me scratching my head. I've got an add on script, bb-memory, that is monitoring the memory on my linux clients and on one system it is in the yellow state at the moment. A Hobbit alert was generated, it was sent to the appropriate email address, yada yada yada. When I try to use the ack code from the subject line to acknowledge the alert, it doesn't work. Doesn't show up in ~/data/acks/acklog or on the web page, and using "!xxxxxx" doesn't have any effect either. Within the same hour, I had a red alert from a different host (disk usage) and I was able to acknowledge it successfully. Thought I'd be clever and clean up just enough to make it turn yellow, which it did, and was able to ack the yellow alert as well. SO it didn't have anything to do with color states. Using hobbit 4.0, with the following patches from the list: bbnet-iponly.patch hobbit-4.0.1-diskhistlog.patch eventlog-crash.patch post-4.0-includes.patch Any ideas on what to check? Tom
