ntpstat graphs

How does one get the ntp drift graphs like on : http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=fenris.hswn.dk&service =ntpstat&first=1&count=1&disp=fenris%2ehswn%2edk&action=menu I primarily use the server-time-ntp.0.9.2.3.tar.gz script from deadcat but on machines that are not supported I use the hobbit built in ntp test I tried using bb-ntp-1_5.sh.gz as well with no results. The man page for hobbitd_larrd states: ntpstat Tracks the deviation between the local system time and an NTP server, using the output from the "ntpq" and "ntpdc" commands. To get these data, your server must be running an NTP daemon, and the LARRD "ntpstat" add-on script must be installed in the BB client. But I couldn't find the ntpstat script in lard-0.43d Also shouldn't this ntpstat graph show up on the ntp test page? Thanks

purple events

Has anyone experienced issues with hobbit not starting and stopping correctly after the hobbitlaunch.log reaches 2 gigs? Once my log reaches 2 gigs it sends out false pages and shows purple events. If I delete the hobbitlaunch.log everything starts working. Is there a logswitch utility?

custom rrd data
by ivan.verbeeck＠vmma.be 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Hello, Question about the custom rrd data : I configured the hobbit server (4.0.2 installed from the .deb release on a debian linux) for generating a custom rrd. - wrote a simple script (tested with perl and shell script) - added the --extra-script and the --extra-test in the launch file - added the name of the test in the config file - added a section in hobbitgraph.cfg - restarted hobbit The web page directly shows a link to an rrd, but the rrd file isn't created. After a few hours(!) the rrd is generated and then sometimes (random once every few hours/days) data is inserted. The script runs every time when data is received (5 minutes), get the correct data and print the correct output. I now changed the script to update the rrd itselfs(see bottom of the mail), but that isn't offcourse the right solution. Anyone an idee what can be wrong? Kind regards, Ivan Verbeeck #!/usr/bin/perl use RRDs; # # Input parameters: hostname, testname, and filename (messagefile) # $hostname = $ARGV[0]; $testname = $ARGV[1]; $filename = $ARGV[2]; # # check and process "usercount" # if ($testname eq "usercount") { open(DATA, $filename) || die("Could not open messagefile!"); while ($line = <DATA>) { if ($line =~ /gebruikers/) { @words = split(/:/, $line); $aantal = substr($words[1],1,2); } } close (DATA); # # update the rrd instead of printing to hobbit :-( # # print "DS:users:GAUGE:600:0:U\n"; # print "usercount.rrd\n"; # print $aantal,"\n"; $rrd = $ENV{"BBRRDS"}."/$hostname/$testname.rrd"; if (! -e $rrd) { my $interval = 5; my $time = time; my @args = ($rrd, '-b', $time-10, '-s', int($interval * 60), "DS:users:GAUGE:600:U:U", "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576", "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:576", "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:576", "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:576"); RRDs::create(@args); my $e = RRDs::error(); die "ERROR: Cannot create logfile: $e\n" if $e; } RRDs::update ($rrd,"N:$aantal"); my $e = RRDs::error(); die "ERROR while updating rrd: $e\n" if $e; # end of update rrd } exit;

On Liux, you would have 2 nameserver entries in the /etc/resolv.conf, one for the primary and one for the secondary.

Hi Friends, I'm new on this list , and do not have migrated to hobbit and so I still use the bbgen version, I plan to do this soon. In my BB and bbgen I have a problem that is when my principal DNS dies , my conn and http tests starts to fail , and the BB don't use my secondary DNS, that is alive. Somebody can help? If I use the bbtest- net with the --no-ares, can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Mario.

If the last page I looked at was one of my views, then I go to the enable/disable page, all the hosts and tests are blank on the enable/disable page. I have to go back and click on the main page and then go back to the enable/disable page to see the hosts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Stuffle Delta Faucet Company This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Can the right side of the page be top justified? New version looks good!
