[hobbit] hobbit-4.1.1 client/server
by Larry.Barber＠usda.gov 25 Aug '05

The Hobbit client reports vmstat as "data" not "status" so it doesn't get its own entry on the webpage. It still shows up in "trends". If you want a vmstat entry on the webpage you can still run the vmstat bottom feeder as an external script.

hobbit-4.1.1 client/server

Hi All I just installed hobbit-4.1.1 server on my hobbitd server and hobbit-4.1.1 client part on one of my Solaris 7 box. Now I do not see any vmstat column for the client on the hobbit webpage. This is the first time I am using hobbit-4.1.1. What am I missing? Where do I look for clue? Here is the entry of the client in hobbitd server's bb-hosts page 123.47.0.222 anon.here.biz # ssh vmstat [ip/host masked to save the innocents] Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "..there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit...try to be in the first group;...less competition there." - Indira Gandhi

Those parameters need to be set on the client side.

You might want to add "--trace=/tmp/alerttrace.log" to the hobbitd_alert command in hobbitlaunch.cfg. That will give you a closer watch on how each alert is handled by the alert module. Do the missing alerts show up in the notifications.log file ? Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

You can add a "--debug" to the CMD line in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file. (for extra debugging informations).

I checked the hobbit.sh script - the line is exactly right, no typo's, and the path's are valid. Hobbit is installed in /hobbit/ becasuse RH and apache wouldn't play nice when I first installed to /home/hobbit. (I am sure this was a mistake I was making, but installing to /hobbit fixed all my problems) The original hobbit build was compiled from source (v4.0.4) a few months ago, and it has run pretty much without a single problem for a while. I followed the install guide step by step for the original build, and nothing seems to have changed on that page since. It really has been fine until last week; which interestingly co-incided with some problems we were having with battery backup units which caused some problems on the Windows servers in the same rack. Could this be related?
