mrtg - again

Help - I'm confused. I've taken a valid MRTG config file - one that generates MRTG data for one router and made the modifications as described in the HOWTO doc. Hobbit appears to be successfully collecting all the requested data. The Trends page shows 8 identically labeled MRTG graphs; only 2 have data on them. What other information can I provide here to get help understanding why: 1. the existing graphed data doesn't like it's corresponding MRTG grpahed data (MRTG native)? 2. why the graphs aren't labeled as the they are in the native MRTG to differentiate the date? 3. why all the collected data isn't being grpahed? 4. is bbmrtg the better solution than the native Hobbit option?

Jason Good sleuthing. We disabled the policy (it was active), removed and reinstalled Hobbit (we had mucked a lot with the original install trying to fix), and restarted. Bingo, works out of the box!!! Many Thanks for your help.

Is there a corresponding selinux policy violation message appearing in your /var/log/messages file? If so, then you need to tune or disable your policy. You may want to do a search for audit2allow, selinux-policy-targeted-sources, and FC4.

I had this once due to a brutal chown -R on the ~hobbit directory. I rerun a make install from the compiled source, and it worked fine. Hobbit is quite easy to compile. Could you try to compile it on your FC4 ? (perhaps to non-standard directory, ie ~hobbit/server-4.1.1 for example).

Howdy folks. We've done a stock install of Download hobbit-4.1.1-1FC4.i386.rpm on Fedora Core 4. With a few configs, we have the Current status page functioning.

For AIX your script should include this: [bootinfo] bootinfo -r [freemem] vmstat 1 2 [pstat] pstat -s which runs the bootinfo tool to determine the amount of RAM installed, vmstat to determine the amount of free RAM, and pstat to determine the swap statistics. (I don't know one bit about AIX, but this is what the bb-memory add-on uses). If the other information provided by "bootinfo" might be useful, you can leave out the "-r" option as long as the RAM size is included in the output.

[hobbit] Problems supressing yellow alerts

I was fooled by the fact that the yellow alarms were appearing in the event-log display on the bb2 page (they were not appearing at the top of the bb2 page, and were not setting the background 'alarm color'). We have one non-critical test that is cluttering up our event-log display. I'd really like to be able to prevent a specific test from appearing in the bb2 event-log display; is there a way to do this, and, if not, could I put in a feature request? :) Regards, -Eric > -----Original Message----- > From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS [mailto:EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:03 AM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] Problems supressing yellow alerts > > > Howdy all, > > I wanted to see if anybody else had any experience /w this > before I go poking at code. > > I've got a test (called 'if_load') that I want to suppress > yellow alerts for.

Aix client script
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi, I'd like to create an aix client script for hobbit (hobbitclient-aix.sh). So I copied the script from sunOS and replaced the command with the aix commands. (prtconf also exists but the result isn't the same). It looks like I missed something, as the tests becomes purple when I stop the bb client. I also have such messages in the hobbitclient.log file : Usage: ~hobbit/client/bin/bb [--debug] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin Any idea ?

Looking at it now, it seems I'll have to rework it slightly to make it look nicer with all the info from the new client. > Can someone tell me if this is possible or is this something cool Henrik > has done :) I try to do cool stuff :-) Seriously, this report is something that was created for a specific request I had at work. Some of the paper-pushers there insisted on having a hard-copy print-out of what is being monitored by Hobbit as part of the operational documentation (never mind that monitoring is fairly dynamic and frequently changes after that documentation has been produced ...) So this report was done so that I don't have to collect that information by hand. I've noted your suggestion that it would be nice to leave out parts of the report - I think that is fairly easy to implement, so I'll have a look at that.
