[hobbit] Newbie install questions
by Al.Jeffcoat＠orhs.org 20 Jul '05

You'll need to install rrdtool-devel also. I'm not sure but I think I also had to do pcre-devel to put hobbit on fc4 here. HTH. Al -----Original Message----- From: richard kennard [mailto:richard.kennard at oxfordgenomesciences.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 11:58 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Newbie install questions Dear All, Please forgive what (no doubt) will be very noddy level questions! I'm running fedora core 4, and am trying to install hobbit. I've installed rrd using the rpm (rrdtool-1.0.49-5.fc4.i386.rpm) and it /appears/ to have installed. When I attempt to run ./configure I get: Checking for RRDtool ... RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for hobbitd RRDtool can be found at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are. When I add the rrinclude and rrdlib lines (pointing to /usr/bin and user/lib respectively) I get: Checking for RRDtool ... test-rrd.c:3:17: error: rrd.h: No such file or directory test-rrd.c: In function ÔÇÿmainÔÇÖ: test-rrd.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_clear_errorÔÇÖ test-rrd.c:30: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_graphÔÇÖ make: *** [test-compile] Error 1 Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x test-rrd.c:3:17: error: rrd.h: No such file or directory test-rrd.c: In function ÔÇÿmainÔÇÖ: test-rrd.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_clear_errorÔÇÖ test-rrd.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_graphÔÇÖ make: *** [test-compile] Error 1 ERROR: RRDtool include files found in /usr/bin, but compile fails. Any advice would be much appeciated! Also, is there an FAQ or archive somewhere? Cheers!

[hobbit] bbmessage.cgi
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

It's probably because your bbmessage.cgi isn't in a cgi configured directory. (so the server acts like it's a common text file, and doesn't try to execute it). You should check your httpd config file. (or put bbmessage.cgi to a Cgi-able directory, like ~hobbit/cgi-bin for example).

The attached patch should solve this, hopefully also on those platforms that don't have a built-in strtoll() routine. This is for Hobbit 4.0.4 - the next version will have a (slightly different) version of this included. Regards, Henrik

hobbitlaunch.cfg trouble + RE : [hobbit] Mrtg with Hobbit howto
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi, bbmrtg.pl works fine for me. I only commented the rrd section, as I didn't install the rrd perl modules. (and mrtg runs without rrd). I only had troubles when setting the parameters in hobbitlaunch.cfg, as the CMD and LOGFILE kept the last space character. (the log was named "bbmrtg.log " and hobbitd tried to run "bbmrtg.pl "). I removed both last space character, and it works fine.

Graphing
by v.everett＠afgonline.com.au 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi all Does anybody know how to display multiple graphs on one info page. This is really 2 questions. In the first case, I am extracting 14 sets of data that I am graphing. When they appear all on one graph, it's messy and unreadable. Like what happens with the [disk] graph, I would like the data to appear on 2 or even 3 graphs. How do I make that happen? In the second case, I am collecting 7 data sets from one test. One set is ranged from 0-2000 2 range from 0-400 3 range from 0-25 And another from 0-8 Plotted on the same graph, the bottom 4 data sets look like a smudge along the bottom. I would like to split these into 3 graphs, maybe 4, each with different scales, but all appearing on the same page. Is this possible?

Now this is interesting, here's the 'cpu' output for a Windows box that doesn't have as much memory as most of ours, that is displaying the same behavior on the trending graphs: Tue Jul 19 14:54:01 CDT 2005 [BARRSERVER] up: 6:14, 1 users, 32 procs, load=1%, PhysicalMem: 512MB(32%) Memory Statistics Total Physical memory: 536334336 bytes (512.00MB) Available Physical memory: 365035520 bytes (349.00MB) Total PageFile size: 1307942912 bytes (1.22GB) Available PageFile size: 1159303168 bytes (1.08GB) Total Virtual memory size: 2147352576 bytes (2.00GB) Available Virtual memory size: 2118647808 bytes (1.97GB) Most active processes 00.06% inetinfo (0x2e8 [744]) 00.01% bbnt (0x240 [576]) Thanks, Larry Barber On Tue, 2005-07-19 at 14:42 -0500, henrik at hswn.dk wrote: > On Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 03:28:29PM -0400, Larry.Barber at usda.gov > wrote: > > I just noticed that all the memory trending graphs for Windows > machines > > are broken.

We're just running the NT client, I have enough trouble getting the NT admins to just install that, let alone anything else. It probably is the memory size that's causing problems. Here's a sample of the return from the cpu test: Tue Jul 19 14:44:37 CDT 2005 [ANANKE] up: 83 days, 1 users, 40 procs, load=1%, PhysicalMem: 3840MB(23%) Memory Statistics Total Physical memory: 4025925632 bytes (3.75GB) Available Physical memory: 3102130176 bytes (2.89GB) Total PageFile size: 4294967295 bytes (4.00GB) Available PageFile size: 4294967295 bytes (4.00GB) Total Virtual memory size: 2147352576 bytes (2.00GB) Available Virtual memory size: 2119045120 bytes (1.97GB) Most active processes 00.81% tomcat5 (0x190 [400]) 00.03% System (0x4 [4]) 00.02% winlogon (0x2ac [684]) 00.02% Rtvscan (0x8a8 [2216]) 00.00% VxSvc (0x918 [2328]) 00.00% svchost (0x444 [1092]) 00.00% StarbaseServer (0x13d0 [5072]) 00.00% sqlservr (0x608 [1544]) 00.00% csrss (0x294 [660]) Thanks, Larry Barber On Tue, 2005-07-19 at 14:42 -0500, henrik at hswn.dk wrote: > On Tue, Jul 19, 2005 at 03:28:29PM -0400, Larry.Barber at usda.gov > wrote: > > I just noticed that all the memory trending graphs for Windows > machines > > are broken.

Do you have the bb-memory extension installed on your Windows boxes, or just the BBNT client ? If you dont know - is there a "memory" column for these boxes, or only the "cpu" column ? bb-memory generates a "memory" column, the standard BBNT client does not. I suspect it's the BBNT client that is feeding your memory graphs. It has some problems with large-memory systems, but it could also be a bug in Hobbit. Please send me the output from the "cpu" status on one of these boxes. Regards, Henrik
