DNS syntax?
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 30 Jul '05

What is the proper dig syntax? I tried a couple of things: 0.0.0.0 ns1.example.com #noconn dig:soa=example.com - looked up A record for foo.com, not the soa. 0.0.0.0 ns2.example.com #noconn dig=soa:example.com - just fails I think I've got all the rest of the cruft out of my install - it was running 4.0.1, and had something horribly messed up. But I've just deleted everything and rebuilt it from scratch. I also have a SPEC file that has been relatively successful at setting up a hobbit-client rpm. I had to add a couple of things to the tarball to get it to work, so if anyone is interested, let me know. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CNX, CISSP # 78281 Austin Energy dan.mcdonald at austinenergy.com

macros in hobbit-alerts.cfg & fatal error
by tlrogers＠vcu.edu 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hi all, I'm new to the hobbit list this week I just installed our first hobbit server (migrating from Big Brother). In testing I have hobbit working with our qpage sever but when I tried to create a macro in hobbit-alerts.cfg for pager recipients I received a fatal signal error for hobbitd_alert it then went purple I see in the archive that there is a patch?? I'm running 4.0.4 on Red Hat AS 3 and have I seen a security issue about this version of hobbit for DoS attacks?? Thanks! Tracey Rogers VCU-UCC 804.828.4421

Are you building the client that's included with hobbit 4.1 or the standalone package from the hobbit Sourceforge site? The standalone client will only work with one of the BSD's. There is a client included with Hobbit 4.1 should work with most Unices. I just built it on FC4 without a problem, and am running it on a RHES3 box.

Can't seem to get bbmrtg and hobbit working
by CBlank＠icscorp.com 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hello, I am stuck trying to get a MRTG column to display next the conn column in my hobbit configuration. This is what I have done thus far: 1) Modified hobbitlaunch.cfg to run MRTG and bbmrtg 2) Modified the mrtg config to use rrd vice native mode; specified bb*[params] 3) Installed 14all.cgi for the bbmrtg script to use I have can run the bbmrtg script and get html output that I assume would be placed in side the output files for the hobbit. But I get nothing. What am I missing? Thanks Chris Blank Network Engineer Integrated Communication Solutions (ICS) 5260 Westview Drive Frederick, Maryland 21703 P: 301-695-8800

You could modify the BBHOME/web/bb_header file to display the fields and buttons you needed.

Adding findhost to main page
by allan＠zandahar.net 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi all Just wondering (even though I'm sure it can be done) if you can add the findhost search box onto to top of the main page maybe under where it says current status or there abouts We have started dividing some hosts up into pages and subpages and it seems some people are not quite bright enough (even when told) that the search is under the admin drop down. Even if you do know where it is it would be easier IMO to just be able to search without additonal clicks. Cheers folks Allan

Same host on multiple pages
by allan＠zandahar.net 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi all Have been using BB and now Hobbit for quite some time now and have finally decided to start looking at breaking up some of our hosts into multiple pages and sub pages etc. I've had a look through the man pages etc on how you go about defining hosts in multiple pages. From what I can see you just define it where you want and put a prefer tag against one of them (of course I may be wrong but thats what I figured) It works fine they both appear on both pages, but the bbtest goes yellow and says host xyz is defined multiple times this may cause strange results. Also not sure what happens when an alert occours. Can someone let me know if this would be the right way of doing it as we have a few hosts that have multiple functions so we want to make sure theyre easy to find in a few categories Cheers Allan

Hi Allan When you have host more than one time in bb-hosts add noconn to the second entry. Because its make no sense do to the network tests twice. The Problem that i have is: when a host have 2 entrys in the same pageset then i see the host twice in the webview of the pageset.. have you this also ?
