SLA Export

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.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get the info (and graphs hopefully) on CPU utilization for unix machines? Currently, we see CPU load which is different, and I believe a true measure of how hard the box is working but I have people who feel the need to also see cpu utilization....any ideas? Thanks kevin

New enable/disable tool ready for testing
by henrik＠hswn.dk 01 May '05

01 May '05

I've spent the past couple of days working on the enable/disable code, in an attempt to get rid of the maint.pl Perl script. I have something now that I believe works well, so if you feel like trying it out I've generated a patch for you against Hobbit 4.0.2. It is available at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/maintenance-feature.patch Installing is the usual: cd hobbit-4.0.2 patch -p0 </tmp/maintenance-feature.patch make stop Hobbit make install (as root) start Hobbit My solution works somewhat differently than the old "maint.pl" script: The enable/disable functionality is no longer a separate webpage listing all hosts; instead, this function is moved to each hosts' "info" column page. I did this because I have about 2000 hosts, so the list of all hosts was practically unusable in my setup. You can see how it looks on the demo site http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ - just pick one of the "info" buttons. You can of course disable tests (a single one, some of them, or all of them); you can re-enable tests that have been disabled; you can schedule a disable to happen at a later time; and you can cancel scheduled disables if they are no longer needed. The scheduled disabling is handled internally in the Hobbit daemon, so you no longer need "cron" running to handle it. I've never been fond of allowing my CGI scripts to run at-jobs from a security perspective... Regards, Henrik

[hobbit] some larrd issues on hobbit 4.0.3 rc1
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 01 May '05

01 May '05

These vmstat rrds are from back on larrd 42; just after the change to accumulate cpu wait. So I'm trying the vmstat recreate to see if the definitions I've got are severely non-standard (I'd almost bet on it) If so, I'll see what I need to hack to keep my current data . . . On the disk space rrds -- this is a lot of wasted activity for us; we have about 8 filesystems we care about, and my production R3 DB server currently has 95 filesystems that have been 100% full since creation -- and we add another 10 every 13 months (150 GB -- SAP just *eats* disk). If I can't suppress the creation, I'd at least like to suppress the display of the graphs -- they're meaningless noise in our shop. Not a showstopper for going live Monday, though -- If I can figure out the vmstat issue.

I've looked over the AIX setup for vmstat, and it should parse this output from the bottomfeeder OK. Is this RRD file one that you have copied over from the BB/LARRD setup ? If yes, do the graphs make more sense if you delete the file from ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/vmstat.rrd and have Hobbit re-create the file (it does that automatically) ? I'd like to have a look at that vmstat.rrd file to see if the problem is one of different data-set definitions in the Hobbit vs. LARRD version. I know the vmstat definitions are different on some systems, but I cannot remember if I changed them for AIX also. > Also -- I only get the vmstat graph for AIX - I'm missing vmstat0, > vmstat2, vmstat3, and vmstat8. Where do I enable the graphing for these? The data for them are being tracked, but by default only one vmstat graph is shown. Add "LARRD:*,vmstat:vmstat|vmstat0|vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat8" to the entries in the bb-hosts where you want these. > And while I'm at it -- I need to disable the tracking and displaying of > disk filesystem usage data -- virtually all my filesystems contain > Oracle tablespaces and they are 100% full at the OS level shortly after > creation -- so I can't see any reason to track them. There's no way to turn off tracking of the data for disk reports (unless you configure the client not to send them, of course).

The SERVICE, COLOR, TIME and EXPAGE should go on one line. The SERIVCE is a typo, but enough to throw the config-parser off track. If you just want to avoid pages for hosts on the "hscs_servers", "special" and "telemed" pages, you can just look for those words without caring about where they appear in the page-path. Unless you use "anchors" - the ^ and $ signs - in the regexp, it will match anywhere in the page-path string. So I think this does what you want: SERVICE=conn COLOR=red TIME=W:0750:1710 EXPAGE=%hscs_servers|special|telemed MAIL ees2y at pagehost.virginia.edu REPEAT=1 FORMAT=SMS Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
