[hobbit] BBNET replacement.

Hi, I just replaced a BBDISPLAY and BBNET server with a hobbit server. I don't know if you can set just a BBNET server in hobbit, but I don't think there will be any hint. As written in the migration guide (http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/bb-to-hobbit.html) the migration from bb is quite easy. Just copy the log files instead of moving them, so you can switch back to bigbrother in case of trouble. Nicolas Figaro -----Message d'origine----- De : Thomas [mailto:tlp-hobbit at holme-pedersen.dk] Envoyé : jeudi 2 juin 2005 11:40 À : hobbit at hswn.dk Objet : [hobbit] BBNET replacement. I have a central BBDISPLAY server and 3 BBNET servers. Can I replace one BBNET server with a hobbit NET server without any problems ? So a step by step transition from BB to Hobbit.

Hobbit questions

Hi, I just migrated a server from bigbrother 1.9e btf to hobbit. 1st question : The bb server was stopped, but the bb client is still running. Do I have to install the hobbit client and stop the bb client on my server ? 2nd question : I modified the larrd/lib/LARRD/checks.pm to add a specific rrd check (to monitor a san array). The extension script is still running, as it is launched by the bb 1.9e client. How can I add the graph to hobbit ? 3rd question : Is there a specific hobbit deadcat-like site ? (I know I can still use bigbrother extensions, But perhaps hobbit can have its own site and extensions) Thanks Nicolas Figaro

beastat - How do you use it?
by jboone＠columbia.com 01 Jun '05

* The "bea-snmpstats.sh" script has been removed, and replaced with an enhanced tool "beastat". This collects statistics via SNMP from BEA Weblogic servers, and reports these via "data" messages to Hobbit. The data collected are run-time data for the JRockIT JVM and thread/memory utilization data from each Weblogic server instance. This looks like an interesting feature, at least for those of us running Weblogic. I can't seam to find any documentation on how to configure the tools or how to display the results. Any help?

I had naively assumed that OpenBSD and FreeBSD would behave identically when it came to valid options for the linker. Apparently, that is not the case. Just remove the RPATH setting in build/Makefile.OpenBSD. Regards, Henrik

[hobbit] Mrtg with Hobbit

I am using the even older method of bbmrtg.sh from deadcat.net, although I modified it a bit to use the routers-2.cgi script for graph generation as it produces better graphs IMO. It is also nice because it didn't require that I modify my mrtg cfg files. I would be happy to send along the bbmrtg.sh file that I am using. Robert -----Original Message----- From: Craig Cook [mailto:craig at cookitservices.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 8:24 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Mrtg with Hobbit 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.

Mrtg with Hobbit

Hi, I have hobbit 4.02 installed and functional and am trying to integrate MRTG with it, I decided to use the "integrating MRTG data into Hobbit" option but the graphs being generated are showing no data. I have set the debug snpo and log options for mrtg and can see the data being gathered from the router and writen to the rrd file so that appears to be working ok. Any help offered would be appreciated.
