error creating rrd DS (invalid DS name)
by gendalia＠iastate.edu 07 Sep '05

I guess I missed something trying to add data collection for a test I created. The test sends data like so: -------- afs-6,iastate,edu.afs green Wed Sep 7 16:42:25 CDT 2005 Instance fs, currently running normally. Auxiliary status is: file server running. &green calls waiting: 0 &green -------- I added ",afs=ncv" to the end of TEST2RRD and NCV_afs="Auxiliarystatusis=NONE,callswaiting=GAUGE" in hobbitserver.cfg I get this in rrd-status.log: 2005-09-07 15:41:21 RRD error creating /usr/pkg/hobbit/data/rrd/afs-6.iastate.edu/afs.rrd: Invalid DS name As hobbit, I can touch this file to create it. Any ideas? Where are the constraints on DS names listed? # ls -ld /usr/pkg/hobbit/data/rrd/afs-6.iastate.edu/ drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 1024 Sep 3 03:16 /usr/pkg/hobbit/data/rrd/afs-6.iastate.edu/ # ls -l /usr/pkg/hobbit/data/rrd/afs-6.iastate.edu/ total 176 -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 38536 Sep 7 17:12 disk,root.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 38536 Sep 7 17:12 disk,vicepa.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 19552 Sep 7 17:12 la.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 19552 Sep 7 17:12 procs.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 19552 Sep 7 17:12 tcp.conn.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 19552 Sep 7 17:12 tcp.ssh.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 19552 Sep 7 17:12 users.rrd Thanks, Tracy J.

Problem with Ldap
by plardinois＠be.tiauto.com 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hello, I am trying to use the ldap test on a Win2003 server, but it doesn't work. Following this post, it seems to be related to the authentication and the use of ldaplogin tag. The problem is I have no idea how to use this tag ? Can you give me an example of the line I should write in bb-host ? Thank you very much. Pierre. Ok, I figured it out. 2003 REQUIRES that you use an ldaplogin=username:password in the bb-hosts file, whereas 2000 did not. Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Lowery, Michael Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 7:08 AM To: hobbit (at) hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] LDAP Windows 2003 The ldap format that I used to test Windows 2000 servers does not appear to work on Windows 2003 servers. Is anyone successfully using ldap on Win2k3? What I use on Win2k: ldap://10.20.30.40/cn=username,cn=users,DC=subdomain,DC=domain,DC=com The above query would never give me any results, but it worked well enough to make sure that ldap was responding to queries.

exit code 15
by xgreif＠gmail.com 05 Sep '05

Hello. Recently our hobbit service is aborting, with the following message: Worker process died with exit code 15, terminating which can be found on enadis.log, larrd-data.log and larrd-status.log. Could someone please tell me what does that mean? It probably is the hobbitd module crashing, but why? Best, Eduardo Greif

Logrotate improvement
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 03 Sep '05

03 Sep '05

Hello Henrik (or rpm-maintainers?!), The current hobbit.logrotate file contains a minor error. The last section is: postrotate su -c "/etc/init.d/hobbit rotate" hobbit endscript I think two things are mixed up because this command asks for a password (running a root-script). It should be: /etc/init.d/hobbit rotate -or- su - hobbit -c"/usr/lib/hobbit/server/hobbit.sh rotate" regards, Peter

[hobbit] bb-dftab
by Larry.Barber＠usda.gov 02 Sep '05

When using the hobbit client you need to set those on the Hobbit server in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file. There is no client side configuration for the hobbit client, at least for notification thresholds.

[hobbit] Hobbit client strange behavior
by Allan.Marillier＠dana.com 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Thanks Larry - I overlooked the obvious. The working servers have a fully qualified domain name in /etc/sysconfig/network. The non working servers just have the host name. "Larry.Barber at usda.gov" <Larry.Barber at usda.gov> 09/02/2005 10:28 AM Please respond to hobbit at hswn.dk To "hobbit at hswn.dk" <hobbit at hswn.dk> cc Subject Re: [hobbit] Hobbit client strange behavior This behavior is usually caused by the host names not agreeing between the hobbit client and server. The hobbit client uses the return from 'uname -n' for the name it reports to the server. If this doesn't match whats in bb-hosts, hobbitd will just discard the message.
