[hobbit] Memory Leak?
by Gerard＠ets.biz 25 Aug '05

Sorry, I meant to add - When I start hobbit, I get a bunch of "hobbitlaunch" processes, they start consuming all the memory on the server, then crash/terminate. Thanks.

Memory Leak?
by Gerard＠ets.biz 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi All - Am getting an error in my log files (hobbitlaunch.log): "Configuration error, unknown dependency xxx" Where xxx = bbstatus ->hobbitd = bbhistory ->hobbitd (etc etc for all of them) And after those errors "Cannot open env file /hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg" - no such file or directory. The trick is - I have checked the path, and it's all absolutely correct (in addition to which I have not changed a thing since t stopped working) This started happening when I was running 4.0.4, but have since updated (re-installed) version 4.1.1 over the top in a failed attempt to fix it... Anyone have any ideas before my trigger happy colleagues make me ghost it back to the stone ages? (FYI - I am a total Linux novice.) I ram running RH 9 if that makes a difference... Thanks in advance...

alert timing: long delays
by asparks＠doublesparks.net 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

I have the following rules in my alerts.cfg file: HOST=%.* COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=conn,cpu,backup,msgs,content EXHOST=%netapp.* SCRIPT /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/pg/cfrun cfrun FORMAT=SCRIPT REPEAT=10 HOST=%.* COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=content TIME=*:0010:2355 MAIL bb-oncall FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=60 DURATION>3 RECOVERED MAIL bb-pg-oncall FORMAT=PLAIN REPEAT=60 DURATION>3 RECOVERED I get the alerts, but about 10 minutes elapse between seeing the first script alert fire, and then seeing the mail actions fire: Wed Aug 24 22:11:04 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) cfrun 1124943064 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) cfrun 1124943713 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) bb-oncall 1124943713 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) bb-pg-oncall 1124943713 600 Where does that 10 minute delay come from? How can I make things cycle faster so the DURATION parameter makes sense? Thanks in advance. -Alan -- Alan Sparks, UNIX/Linux Systems Integration and Administration <asparks at doublesparks.net>

[hobbit] hobbit_rrd stops working after about 1 hour
by tpr＠pics.com 25 Aug '05

25 Aug '05

Hi, I'm testing out hobbit 4.1.1 for possible migration from big brother (with bbgen). I suspected scalability issues with BB as my rrd graphs were updated intermittently. However, hobbit is exhibiting similar problems. After about 1 hr of restarting hobbit, the rrd graphs stop updating except for the cpu utilization for the hobbit server itself. The hobbit server is running RedHat Linux AS 3.0. It has 2 x 2.4 GHz Xeon processors and 1GB of memory. About 800 servers are sending updates to the hobbit server. Another 1200 servers are getting remote tests. Load average has stayed below 1 most of the time. CPU usage has been low with 75% idle. 4 CPUs show up due to hyperthreading and I've noticed that after the restart of hobbit server, hobbitd_rrd process stays on CPU3 with 100% utilization for the one hour that it is busy. I hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks, Naeem To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Hi, in preparation for installing hobbit I failed to compile fping on Solaris 5. 9 with gcc 2.95.3 : configure: gcc -g -O2 -o fping fping.o -lsocket -lnsl Undefined first referenced symbol in file err fping.o errx fping.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to fping collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 from the config.log it seems it cannot find ac_nonexistent.h (which isn't on the machine): configure:2407: gcc -E conftest.c configure:2403: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory configure:2413: $? = 1 Is ac_nonexistent.h needed?
