Hobbitd Stats to all displays
by truecker＠technologie-management.net 07 Apr '05

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

[hobbit] badconn problem
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 07 Apr '05

Got it working; looks like the sscanf statement in bbtest-net.c that reads in the badconn values wasn't matching the string being fed to it. I've attached a patch that fixed it. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS [mailto:EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 10:04 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] badconn problem Don't know if this helps any, but I added the --debug flag to my bbnet-test command for a single polling period, and got many lines similar to this in my bb-network.log: 2005-04-06 15:49:54 No test for badtest spec host=foo-host, test=conn:1:1:2 I found where this error is getting thrown in bbtest-net.c (789); it looks like the conn test isnt defined in the swalk linked list.

BBGEN Yellow
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Why would BBGEN be yellow? Ever since I upgraded to 4.0.1, the BBGEN column has been yellow. I'm not sure what it's looking for and how to get it back to green. Here is what it shows: bbgen version 4.0.1 with hobbitd Statistics: Hosts : 56 Status messages : 275 Purple messages : 0 Pages : 13 Error output: Unknown option : --larrd043 TIME SPENT Event Starttime Duration Startup 1112881426.811528 - Load links done 1112881426.811767 0.000239 Load bbhosts done 1112881426.813405 0.001638 ACK removal done 1112881426.813455 0.000050 Load STATE done 1112881426.824030 0.010575 Color calculation done 1112881426.824080 0.000050 BB pagegen start 1112881426.824089 0.000009 BB pagegen done 1112881426.831873 0.007784 BB2 generation done 1112881426.834375 0.002502 BBNK generation done 1112881426.834617 0.000242 Summary transmission done 1112881426.834620 0.000003 Run completed 1112881426.834621 0.000001 TIME TOTAL 0.023093 Thanks, Michael

[hobbit] BBGEN Yellow

No, not looking at the logfiles lately. I'll remove that and see what happens, thanks!

So this is what causes it: > Error output: > Unknown option : --larrd043 Just remove that option from the "bbgen" command in hobbitlaunch.cfg, and it should be back to green.

custom LARRD graphs - once again
by stefan_loos＠hotmail.com 07 Apr '05

07 Apr '05

Hi, we also have some custom larrd graphs in our bb-server (with bbgen 2.16). Now I want to use them with hobbit without doing some programming in C. Is there a way to enable data-files be written to disk? Thanks in advance Stefan

RSS Feeds
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

All, I just figured I would pass along some info in case anyone is looking to integrate RSS feeds into local Intranets or other sources. I added the following line to the Header section of bb_header to create the live bookmarks option in Mozilla. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="$BBWEBHOST/hobbit/bb2.rss"> I also found this great PHP script to convert the RSS feed into HTML so that we could easily port it into our Intranet. Pretty handy for those that don't want to write Javascript to do it. http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm It is called using pretty basic options in the URL. Just point to the .php file with XMLFILE="<URL to bb2.rss> You can add the TEMPLATE option to customize the look of the output. It just looks into a standard HTML file with a few identified variables for customization. Pretty straightforward. Sorry if this is a duplicate, just thought that I would share. Robert
