It's an error in the hobbitlaunch.cfg that gets installed with 4.1.0: As mentioned earlier, the line "INTERVAL 5m" was left out from the [hobbitclient] section, causing it to run the client-script as quickly as possibly. (And since the vmstat runs in the background, you get lots of those). You don't need to explicitly start the client on the Hobbit server. Henrik

hobbit client issues
by Larry.Barber＠usda.gov 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

In addition to the problems with vmstat I mentioned in my last e-mail. It appears that "runclient.sh stop" doesn't work. It appears that something is respawning the process as quickly as they are killed. I couldn't even kill them off by hand. I had to remove the run permissions from the executables before I could stop them. I am running this on a RedHat ES3 box. Let me know if you need anymore information. Thanks, Larry Barber

RPM install on CentOS
by patrick_a_vaughan＠hotmail.com 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Okay, I downloaded the new RPMs for 4.1.0. I've been using the Fedora RPMS on CentOS, which seem to work perfectly. But, the FC4 RPMs need a little tweaking to get working, because the FC4 changes aren't in RH Enterprise (and CentOS) yet. I had to create links for /lib/libcrypto.so.5 and /lib/libssl.so.5 and install the RPM with --nodeps. I'm not a big fan of doing this, but it seems to work. I like the RPMs, but should I be compiling the source instead of trying to force Fedora RPMs onto CentOS? I anyone else using RPMs with RH ES or CentOS?

Small goof-up in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file
by henrik＠hswn.dk 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I just noticed I've made a small goof-up in the hobbitlaunch.cfg that is created when you build 4.1.0: There's a line missing in the new [hobbitclient] section at the bottom of the file: The INTERVAL 5m is missing, causing hobbitlaunch to try and run the client script lots of times. Just add that line, and your server load should go back to normal :-) Henrik

hobbit 4.1.0 alerts config
by sladewig＠bankinfo.com 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Greetings! Did miss something with a hobbit-alerts.cfg configuration change ? A slice of my cfg file: $AGOPS=someone at somewhere.com $BADCOLORS='COLOR=red,purple' $OPTS='DURATION>5 RECOVERED REPEAT=1h FORMAT=TEXT' HOST=* EXPAGE=tier1 MAIL $AGOPS $OPTS $BADCOLORS But hobbitd_alert --dump-config now yields: EXPAGE=tier1 HOST=* MAIL someone at somewhere.com FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 MAIL 'DURATION>5 FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 MAIL 'COLOR=red,purple' FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 Which now tries to mail to DURATION and COLOR=red and sends out YELLOW alerts as well. Was working previously. -- steve

4.1.0 Premature end of script headers: /usr2/hobbit//cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh
by Etienne.Roulland＠cvf.fr 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, i have installed hobbit 4.1.0 and get 500 error when i go to a url like : http://sphax.exp33.cvf:8080/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=sphax,exp33,cv… (as the RSS flow points to these urls). I got remature end of script headers but if i go to : http://sphax.exp33.cvf:8080/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=sphax,exp33,cv… it's good (Got no problems with 4.0.4). Rgds, -- Etienne Roulland -- CVF Bordeaux

[hobbit] Hobbit 4.1.0 client Add ext script
by steve.aiello＠ge.com 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

How do I add ext scripts to the hobbit client ? I tried adding the line: CMD /usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/test.pl, to the /usr/local/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg. Do I just add to the exisiting CMD line ?
