(Web - http - tests are the exception to that rule). My suggestion is to make a new testname for the port 8025 SMTP instance - edit the bb-services file and copy the [smtp] section to a new section eg with the name [smtp2], and change the port number for that to be 8025. The use the "smtp2" test in your bb-hosts file instead of "smtp:8025". Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Tests on different ports
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 13 May '05

Hi, I'm trying to run two SMTP tests on one server. My bb-hosts file looks like: 10.10.10.1 mail.domain.com # SMTP SMTP:8025 I have two ports that accept SMTP on that server, 25 & 8025. The problem is, if 8025 is down and 25 is up, I still get green from the test. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Michael

Some service graphs not showing up on host pages
by Winn.Beutler＠mcdata.com 13 May '05

13 May '05

I am converting over from BB to HOBBIT and have encountered the following problem: (I am pretty new to the whole BB/HOBBIT world) server1 (RH ES3.0) - Brought up HOBBIT 4.0.2 & 4.0.3b. Everything works fine. server2 (RH ES3.0) - Was running BB and converted to HOBBIT 4.0.2 & 4.0.3b. Everything works fine server3 (RH ES3.0) - Was running BB and was working fine. Converted to HOBBIT 4.0.2 & 4.0.3b and the following tests don't end up with a graph on the host pages: conn, disk, memory, ssh, iostat other test such as cpu, netstat vmstat work fine. I am running rrdtool-1.2.6 on all machines. Any idea what is wrong with server3 or how I troubleshoot it? No errors show up in either /var/log/httpd/error_log or /var/log/hobbit/*.log Other that this, everything seems to be working well. Thanks for any help.

I was thinking along the parameters checkboxes line myself.... Something that either puts together the list of available checkboxes based on whats found in the bb-hosts file already, or a pre-defined list of things that can be added. Some things like cont and http/https tests will need text entry boxes always for the URLs and test strings. Network services like ftp, ssh, telnet, smtp, etc will need some way to add as inverted checks (!ftp, !ssh, !telnet, etc) through the checkboxes. Overall pretty complicated... But would certainly make the editing of hosts more 'user-friendly' for those not as familiar with BB internals. --- Brent B McCrackin UNIX Systems Specialist - Bell Sympatico Brent.McCrackin at Bell.ca PH: 416-353-0692 "Serenity through viciousness." -----Original Message----- From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS [mailto:EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu] Sent: May 12, 2005 12:25 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released >One tiny bug discovered with BB usage instead of Hobbit, line 1735 has a >hardcoded image path to /hobbit/gifs/bkg-blue.gif which should be >changed to use the configuration entry.

Great tool :D One think i'm checking but seems to not work is the use of set of pages for bbgen/hobbit: I've something like this at the start of my bb-hosts file: inetpage Mail Mail Server inetpage Web Web Servers inetpage DB DB Servers databasepage Host DB Server databasegroup Legacy DB Server databasegroup SAP DB Server databasepage Oracle Oracle Database databasegroup Legacy Database databasegroup SAP Database networkpage Security Security networksubpage FW Firewalls networksubpage VPNEdge VPNEdge networksubpage ACE ACE Servers networkpage TS Terminal Server networkpage Switch Switch/Hub And i get a syntax error on those lines. It's possible to try to mantain those line as they are instead of getting an error? It could be also nice to construct a bbset configuration for the single host to put the various page/subpage/group the server will be in for example i've: 0.0.0.0 taurus # DATABASE:Host,2 So that it will go in the Database subset page Host group 2 (SAP). It could be very nice to implement something like that.

Looks great so far! One tiny bug discovered with BB usage instead of Hobbit, line 1735 has a hardcoded image path to /hobbit/gifs/bkg-blue.gif which should be changed to use the configuration entry. One suggestion I have is to make the input boxes for the Host Options wider? With a very large number of options for a host, editing in the small space can be dificult.
