zoom-in feature for graphs doesn't work for safari browser
by tgeorgoulias＠mcclatchy.com 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

I was told by one of my co-workers that the graph zoom-in feature doesn't work in Apple's safari browser. I don't have safari so I can verify it, but can anyone else? If it doesn't work, I guess you can consider this a bug report. Tom

I am having a hard time with this. I followed th install instructions (very easy) but when I try to call it, I get: Can't continue after import errors at /home/hobbit/server/bin/bb-hostedit.pl line 36 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/hobbit/server/bin/bb-hostedit.pl line 36.

Hi I noticed if I disable a service I get the alert email right away using the rule HOST=%(.*) MAIL $ONCALL NOTICE NOALERT But if I schedule one I don't get the alert. May be a feature for future Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "..there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit...try to be in the first group;...less competition there." - Indira Gandhi

Invalid Mail
by callahant＠tessco.com 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hobbit is apparently attempting to send mail out to 20 at myhost.com and REPEAT at myhost.com and it's bouncing back. Any idea why this would be occurring? I know my MAIL settings for hobbit-alerts are correct as I have tested them extensively. Please let me know, this is becoming a nuisance. Thanks, Tom Callahan

DIALUP directive usage
by rdeal＠tigr.org 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Am I using the dialup directive correctly? This is what I have: page WAN Routers group-compress Cisco Routers 172.16.98.250 dialup.tigr.org # ssh ntp DESCR:" :G-1" # group Dialup Connections dialup modem-bank 172.16.98.10 48 # but all I seem to get is an error under bbgen: Error output: Confused - hostname 'modem-bank' cannot be found. Ignored Dialup.tigr.org is the dns name of the router. If I set it up this way: page WAN Routers group-compress Cisco Routers 172.16.98.250 dialup.tigr.org # ssh ntp DESCR:" :G-1" # group Dialup Connections dialup dialup.tigr.org 172.16.98.10 48 # I do not get the error and the information displays but I only get yellow question mark icons. I have not used the dialup function before but it appears to not be functioning as documented, or maybe I am not reading the documentation correctly. Thanks

[hobbit] LARRD Graphs in Hobbit 4.0.4
by craig＠cookitservices.com 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Take a look at the hobbitd_larrd man page... (look for data and status messages) No, you do not need RRD installed on any client. Detailed documentation for migrating a customised BB LARRD setup to hobbit does not exist yet.

[hobbit] Mrtg with Hobbit
by craig＠cookitservices.com 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I have integrated MRTG using the "old" method. Well, sort of... One way of doing this is to use the latest "bb-mrtg.pl" script from deadcat. Run this script from your bb-client that runs on your hobbit server. You can use this trick for any "bb-server" scripts that you need to migrate to hobbit (except for LARRD). The bb-mrtg.pl script has install instructions in it. I am not sure if the integrated hobbit version will automatically alarm when thresholds are breached, the bb-mrtg.pl version will.
