Hi, i'm displaying my custom trend in my custom column. but this trends has lots of lines, and one graph is not enough; is it possible to display this trends on different graphs (5 per graphs), like for the disk trends ? -- Olivier Beau

runclient.sh

Hi All, are changes in clientlaunch.cfg automatically recognised by the clientsoftware? I think I have to restart. In runclient.sh there are only the commands start and stop. I think there could be restart/reload like in hobbitstart.sh Regards Lars Ebeling http://leopg9.no-ip.org Hobbithobbyist "Never run after your own hat.

[hobbit] new commands, nice
by David.Gore＠mci.com 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Nice new commands bbhostgrep, bbhostshow and bbcmd with man pages. I was wondering how I might test my external scripts and was just in the middle of trying to figure out how to do it assuming I could somehow kick it off with hobbitlaunch. Luckily I decided to get the lastest snapshot. Thanks Henrik. Just as a curiosity without parameters on Solaris 9, on the hobbit server, bbhostgrep and bbhostshow drop core. -- David Gore (v965-3670) Enhanced Technology Support (ETS) Network Management Systems (NMS) IMPACT Transport Team Lead - SCSA, SCNA Page: 1-800-PAG-eMCI pin 1406090 Vnet: 965-3676

OSF proc processing, COMMAND, CMD?
by David.Gore＠mci.com 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

"osf.c" [Read only] [Modified] [Shared lock] line 51 of 123 --41%-- unix_procs_report(hostname, hinfo, fromline, timestr, "CMD", "COMMAND", psstr); was unix_procs_report(hostname, hinfo, fromline, timestr, "CMD", NULL, psstr); Not sure why you took out COMMAND in the lastest snapshot? We need that to process /usr/ucb/ps wwaux. Otherwise, we get: Sun Aug 14 19:33:16 GMT 2005 - Processes NOT ok yellow Expected string CMD not found in ps output header This didn't work, now it is alarming on PROCs although I can see all the procs in the client data. Can we get COMMAND back for OSF and ps wwuax? nmsbb at myHost:/usr/nmsbb/client/bin> ps wwaux|head USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY S STARTED TIME COMMAND -- David Gore (v965-3670) Enhanced Technology Support (ETS) Network Management Systems (NMS) IMPACT Transport Team Lead - SCSA, SCNA Page: 1-800-PAG-eMCI pin 1406090 Vnet: 965-3676

[hobbit] Virtual hosts, floating IPs, clustering
by David.Gore＠mci.com 14 Aug '05

14 Aug '05

Rolf Schrittenlocher had asked about virtual hosts and monitoring thereof, the emails are on 07/31 and 08/01. Someone perhaps Henrik mentioned use the CLIENT tag in bb-hosts. I tried that and it didn't seem to work (statuses were not sent for both hosts listed to the web page), not that it would really resolve my issue anyway. Henrik, you did mention HP-UX clusters and that is what we are using more specifically DGUX clusters, but the concept is the same. You have several systems with fixed IPs and a service with its own IP that can run on one or more of the systems with the fixed IPs. What we did with the BB client was added a second line to all the shell scripts (CPU, MEM, etc...) to send a status for the service or virtual hostname in addition to the physical or fixed hostname. Yes, that gives us two sets of the same data, but we can live with that. Additionally our external scripts would send statuses for the service or virtual host as needed. I did have to write a script to move BB client configs (typically the tab files) around when the service moved. I have two copies hobbitlaunch running and everything is green as I would like. Perhaps just rewriting runclient.sh two accomodate two instances would work. One instance for the physical host and one for the virtual/service host? Thoughts? thisHost> ./runclient.sh --hostname thisHost thisHost> ./runclient.sh --hostname thisService_on_thisHost -- David

System Log Monitoring
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Hello Henrick - Wondering if you had any kind of time frame for adding system log monitoring into the client? (/var/log/syslog, /var/adm/messages and possibly a user configurable one).... Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--
