Hi All Currently I have a cron job that creates the html SLA report. I run this $BBHOME/bin/bbgen --reportopts=$START:$END:1:crit \ --ignorecolumns=ssh,bbgen,bbtest,hobbitd,info,trends,msgs,scanmsg,http --subpagecolumns=2 \ /usr/local/apache/htdocs/reports/monthly/$YEAR/$MONTH to get my report every night. How do I modify this to generate a CSV format?

New Hobbit Server Crashing

Running Hobbit 4.0.4 on RedHat ES3. I configured the server at my house and everything worked fine, but when I took it to work and changed the IP address, the display does not show any hosts and I'm getting things like this in the logs: bb-network.log & bb-retest.log 2005-06-14 14:13:29 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout There doesn't seem to be any core dump files, and if I go to the hobbit page, I can see the subpage headings, but no hosts are listed. I know this isn't much info, so let me know what else I can give you... Thanks, Michael

hobbit 4.0.4 hobbitgraph.cfg: iostat
by Erwin.Furth＠Postbankmail.nl 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

I upgraded from bb/bbgen to hobbitd and I am very pleased with the new server. However, I had a few problems with the iostat graph definition in hobbitgraph.cfg as included in the hobbit-4.0.4 distribution. Here is the definition as distributed: ===== hobbitgraph.cfg fragment ===== [iostat] TITLE I/O Utilization YAXIS Stats FNPATTERN iostat.(.*).rrd DEF:p at RRDIDX@B=@RRDFN@:b:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@A=@RRDFN@:asvc_t:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@W=@RRDFN@:wsvc_t:AVERAGE CDEF:p at RRDIDX@t=p at RRDIDX@B,5,GT,p at RRDIDX@B,UNKN,IF (1) LINE2:p at RRDIDX@t#@COLOR:@RRDPARAM@ COMMENT:\n (3) COMMENT:@RRDPARAM@\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@B:LAST:B \: %5.1lf (cur) (2) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@B:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@B:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@B:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@A:LAST:asvc_t \: %5.1lf (cur) (2) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@A:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@A:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@A:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@W:LAST:wsvc_t \: %5.1lf (cur) (2) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@W:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@W:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@W:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg) (4) ===== I listed my problems in order of decreasing severity: (1) There is a syntax error in the LINE2 definition for iostat: @COLOR should be @COLOR@ (2) The legenda has linebreaks at the end of GPRINT lines for (max). This means you get a legenda like this (simplified to save space): B <B-cur> <B-max>\n <B-min> <B-avg> asvc_t <A-cur> <A-max>\n <A-min> <A-avg> wsvc_t <W-cur> <W-max>\n <W-min> <W-avg> By moving the linebreaks to the end of the GPRINT line for (avg) you would get a better lay-out: B <B-cur> <B-max> <B-min> <B-avg>\n asvc_t <A-cur> <A-max> <A-min> <A-avg>\n wsvc_t <W-cur> <W-max> <W-min> <W-avg>\n (3) The line COMMENT:@RRDPARAM@\n is not really needed since it only repeats the text already shown in the LINE2 line (unless you add more graphs for the same filesystem). (4) on the other hand, a COMMENT:\n as separator after the GPRINT lines would improve the lay-out of the legenda I attached a patch file that fixes these problems. It can be applied against either the source copy in hobbit-4.0.4/hobbitd/etcfiles or the active copy in ~hobbit/server/etc. I hope this helps someone, Regards, E.

Remove unwanted column

Hi, I am using bbmrtg with Hobbit and decided to rename the bb*svc entries in the mrtg.cfg files to provide a more meaningful column name. I have deleted the old directories and files from the hobbit/data/histlog and hobbit/data/log directories but the old column will not disappear as I thought they would of. Is there another location/file that hobbit is building the page from that contains the old entry.

Ldap on MS Active Directory Server
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 14 Jun '05

I have a Barracuda Spam firewall that relies on ldap lookups to determine if a recipient for a given e-mail is valid. I'd like to replicate what it is doing with Hobbit. The test that I'm running now will tell me if ldap is responding to queries, but I'd like to actually do a specific lookup for an e-mail address. The tests I have tried all return 0 entries, even though I know the user or e-mail exists. ##### Henrik wrote: ldap://10.2.165.108:389/ou=workoutusers,ou=WorkOutBase,o=sample.com??sub ?(uid=thomsonm) ##### I tried using the example Henrik gave, but it isn't working. I probably have to authenticate to bind to the ldap server (Windows 2000 Global Catalogue), but I'm not sure exactly how. I have tried: ldap://ldapserverip/dc=domain,dc=com ldap://ldapserverip/o=domain.com ldap://username:password at ldapserverip/dc=domain,dc=com ldap://username:password at ldapserverip/o=domain.com ldap://ldapserverip:389/ou=users,o=domain.com??sub?(uid=validuser) ldap://ldapserverip/dc=domain,dc=com?(objectclass=*) And about every other combination of these that I could think of. Some will return green, but if they do, they always say "yields 0 results". Any ldap gurus out there that can help me understand what I'm doing wrong. I've read the rfc on ldap urls, tried several of their examples, but I may be losing something in the translation (maybe I'm just not "getting" it). Thanks, Michael

[hobbit] Unexpected service response
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

It returns green too. The sendmail servers did log their disapproval, but they do to the method I had used as well. I added a "mail from:emailaddress" to it, and that seems to make everyone happy. [smtp] send "ehlo hostname.domainname.com\r\nmailfrom:hobbit at server.com\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25 Michael Lowery -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Storner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 4:29 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Unexpected service response In <40534FFD21F8E9428DD8CCF2B60B09EC7C0C9D at atlitdc01.atg.local> "Lowery, Michael" <mlowery at alliedtechgroup.com> writes: [smtp flipping between green and yellow] >I have changed the smtp test to the following, and I get green, no >flapping between Yellow and green anymore in the history files either. >Is the test just wrong by default, or should I be concerned that I had >to change it from the default? > [smtp] > send "ehlo hostname.domainname.com\r\nquit\r\n" > expect "220" > options banner > port 25 The original test was the same as the BB way of testing. That is not to say it was "right", just to explain where I grabbed it from. Techically, the original test - which just sends "mail" and then "quit" - is improper; the "mail" command requires arguments, e.g. mail from: <some.email at address.net> so it isn't too surprising that some servers complain about it. I'm tempted to change it to [smtp] send "rset\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25 and would like to hear if that also works with your setup. I think the reason for the "mail" command first was to please sendmail, which has a habit of logging connections that dont send a "mail" command (it generated a "NOQUEUE" entry in the log, but I dont know if it still does that).
