hobbit-alerts.cfg -- Perl regex
by robert.herron＠gmail.com 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I'm having a problem with Perl regular expressions in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong: Background info: our servers are named by location, function, number (e.g. NYCMAIL1). As our data center in "NYC", a lot of systems's names start with NYC. I'm lazy and really don't want to have to type NYC over and over again. So, I tried using a macro with a wildcard like: $HG-WinSvrsCrit=nyc%(app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|time).domain.com but it doesn't work. However, it works if I change it to: $HG-WinSvrsCrit=%(nycapp1|nycdc1|nycdc2|nycex1|nycex03|nycfs1|nycfs2|nyctime).domain.com The $HG-WinSvrsCrit wildcard is used later in hobbit-alerts.cfg with statements like: HOST=$HG-WinSvrsCrit $OPTIONS EXSERVICE=smtp,oradb MAIL bb_NetAdm MAIL bb_SrPCT MAIL bb_ProjMgr DURATION>60m A "~/server/bin/hobbitd_alert --dump_config" looks correct for the desired macro/wildcard combo: HOST=nyc%(app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|gis2|time).domain.com EXSERVICE=smtp,oradb COLOR=purple,red MAIL bb_NetAdm FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 MAIL bb_SrPCT FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 MAIL bb_ProjMgr FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 DURATION>60 But the INFO page for the nyc[app1|dc1|dc2|ex1|ex03|fs1|fs2|gis2|time] hosts only shows UNMATCHED catch-all entry. I'm stumped. Please help. -- Robert Herron robert.herron at gmail.com

Monitoring filesystems?
by v.everett＠afgonline.com.au 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Hi Henrik Our disaster here has got me thinking about monitoring file systems. At present, Hobbit monitors the usage of a file system, but is there a way to check if it's there or not. Hobbit is quite happy if your NFS or Veritas volume doesn't mount, as long as the capacity of what is mounted is within tollerance. How can we make it check if the disks are actually mounted? Or is that a task for an external test?

[hobbit] Monitoring filesystems?
by shaun.kasperowicz＠xo.com 11 Aug '05

I have used both the bb-meta and bb-vxcheck scripts with good success over the years. They are available on deadcat.net and should be compatible with a Hobbit client, but I'm not sure about the server.

HHTPS test through a HTTP proxy
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 11 Aug '05

Hi again I'm trying to monitor a HTTPS URL through a HTTP proxy with this in my bb-hosts : http://xx.xx.xx.xx:3128/https://www.host.com I get this result : Server: squi ; OK ; OK ; OK &red https://www.host.com/ - Not Implemented Server: squi HTTP/1.0 501 Not Implemented Server: squid/2.5.STABLE5 Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 15:16:51 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1079 Expires: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 15:16:51 GMT X-Squid-Error: ERR_UNSUP_REQ 0 X-Cache: MISS from xxxxxxx Proxy-Connection: close Seconds: 0.19 This syntax works with bbgen 2.16. My test system is running the latest Hobbit 4.1.2 snapshot. Testing with "https://xx.xx.xx.xx:3128/https://www.host.com" doesn't work either. Is it supported by Hobbit ? Thanks in advance. -- Frédéric Mangeant Steria EDC Sophia-Antipolis

[hobbit] SIP & VoIP
by Gerard＠ets.biz 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Joking aside, that is exactly the page I was looking at when the email came in! Now you know of one person looking into it at the moment; although like yourself I am totally new to this. It's *supposed* to be simple, easy, etc; but I feel confident I'll feel dumber than when I'm started. (at the moment - if Hobbit doesn't monitor it, we don't deploy it; and we haven't had to say "No" yet; so I think your pretty close to your ambitions!!)

It's a technology that I know absolutely nothing about - what protocols are involved, how you communicate with the devices, what needs to be up and running, how you monitor availability etc. This looks like a good place to start: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=voip-info.org > I haven't seen it mentioned yet, and it's something I will need to > consider in the not too distant future (as I'm sure many others will > too)! > > I expect to get a call about it one day, so I am hoping Hobbit will have > a place monitoring this too. The ambition (for me) certainly is to have Hobbit be able to monitor all of your IT systems. Yeah, I know that's pretty ambitious, but it never hurts to set high goals :-) Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

[hobbit] client ext script example
by v.everett＠afgonline.com.au 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

I will, as soon as I upgrade to the hobbit clients. At present, we cannot compile on any of our Solaris servers. (don't ask) As soon as I get my nice new Solaris server to play with, I can compile the new client and see how it works. Has anybody managed to create a Solaris package of the Hobbit client yet? That would make things easier and quicker. As for the custome graphs, I need some info first. Will mail you off-list later. Busy with a major disaster recovery right now. :-( Regards Vernon -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Thursday, 11 August 2005 1:51 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] client ext script example On Thu, Aug 11, 2005 at 09:04:51AM +0800, Vernon Everett wrote: > I wrote this a while ago. > Maybe it will help. Very nice, and I especially enjoyed your introduction :-) It does show in a few places that it was written for BB originally, e.g. when referring to the $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh file and how you install the extension. If you can find a bit of spare time, it would be really nice if you could rework that into the Hobbit way of doing things.
