memory larrd errors

Hi, I just discovered that my larrd-data.log is rapidly filling up with RRD errors of the form RRD error updating /hobbit/data/rrd/<client>/memory.actual.rrd from x.y.z: illegal attempt to update using time 1124286333 when last update time is 1124286333 (minimum one second step) The message appears for all memory graphs (actual, real, swap) from all clients. I'm using hobbit server 4.1.1 and bb clients. Any ideas? Dirk

Client trends for CPU and Users/procs broken?!
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hello all, I installed Hobbit 4.1.1 and try to use the client and I'm surprised to see that the CPU test contains top-output but the corresponding graph/trend is not updated anymore!? This is also true for the users and processes trend. The top of the output on the screen says: wo aug 17 05:08:36 CEST 2005 , 1 users, 105 procs, load= But the Client Data available says: [top] top - 05:08:36 up 65 days, 7:32, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.05 Tasks: 104 total, 1 running, 103 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.7% us, 0.5% sy, 1.9% ni, 95.9% id, 0.9% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 191116k total, 187516k used, 3600k free, 10764k buffers Swap: 5968108k total, 290416k used, 5677692k free, 37220k cached ... regards, Peter

hobbit 4.1.1 - client ownership question
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hello all, I just installed on a Linux (sles9) testbox using the 'rpm -rebuild'-option on Hobbit 4.1.1 from a src-distro. I don't know if I should perform this option as root or as user hobbit? I tried both and finally decided to only use the root-made-version. Is there a better way using the already available config-file in the src-distro where you can change the ownership of the apache run-user from apache to wwwrun (sles9)? Anyway, the ownership of the client-directory tmp (~hobbit/client/tmp) is default root:root which makes it impossible for the client to write the needed data. Changing to hobbit:hobbit makes the client run smoothly. But what is the way to install the client on several hosts? Or am I asking the already answered question? If so, sorry, Peter

MSG Column (Followup Question)
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 16 Aug '05

Hello! Is there anyway to temporarily remove the msgs column until the client can support it? Is there a nomsgs directive or something similiar in there? Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

[hobbit] Config Report
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Allan, I have a pretty simple script that should be capable of doing what you are looking for. Basically it just reads in a file and prints the output to the screen. I'll send it along to you if you would like. Robert -----Original Message----- From: Allan [mailto:allan at zandahar.net] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 8:49 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Config Report Hai All, Just been looking on Henriks' demo site and noticed the config report bit under one of the menus so I went looking to try and do the same. About the only thing I can find is the header and footer files in the web directory but I cant see anything else about how to get this (but I may be blind) Can someone tell me if this is possible or is this something cool Henrik has done :) Cheers folks Allan To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

[hobbit] cores
by David.Gore＠mci.com 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

It is possible the cores are caused by running two clients on the same host both redirecting to ~hobbitclient/tmp/msg.txt. That would explain my occasional rash of purples followed by greens at least. I am going to work around that. If I remove most of the entries from bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh will the back-end get annoyed and engage in odd behavior? Or will it simply not send cpu, procs, disk, etc.. to the web page? -- David

hobbitd_client core dumps
by brianlynch＠gmail.com 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Since my upgrade to 4.1.1, I've had a problem with the hobbitd_client crashing at least 3-4 times a day. The core files are generated in hobbit/server/tmp and the process is restarted. An alert is also sent under the test name 'hobbitd_client'. Here is the stack trace from the latest core file. Please note that the server name has been masked after the fact. An interesting side note is that it always seems to dump on the same client server. Note that the client is running the new Hobbit software. Also, I recently made a change to increase the max message size to 800,000 bytes.
