Playing with graphs? Check out drraw

I just stumbled across this while browsing the RRDtool site. There's a fairly neat tool available for creating custom graphs from data in RRD files, which might be useful if you need to put together data collected by Hobbit. http://web.taranis.org/drraw/ Regards, Henrik

[hobbit] BBtest
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 29 Sep '05

You can add a noconn or noping to one of your duplicate hosts. But make sure you don't have any additionnal test after the noconn or the message wil remain. ( I don't know how to show some tests on one page and other tests on another). Here is a sample from my bb-hosts : 1.2.3.4 server.domain # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY hobbitd test1 test2 etc. 0.0.0.0 server.domain # noconn I still use bb client for AIX test, but I'm waiting for the 4.1.2 to be released.

[hobbit] graphs with external script

Hi, i'm back from holidays ;-). i'm still trying to graph mysql status with the snapshot of the day (16th august) i've added GRAPHS:*,mysql:mysqlslow,mysqlthread in my bb-hosts. NCV_mysql="Uptime:NONE,Queriespersecondavg:GAUGE" and mysql=ncv" in my hobbitserver.cfg. I see mysql.rrd files but still no graphs... I'm pretty sure that i have a mistake just in front of my eyes but... Anybody has an idea ? Thanks.

Hello! I think this was asked before however I couldn't find it the archives.... Is there a website (other than deadcat) where we could post scripts, tests, etc that we create for Hobbit? -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

[hobbit] Hobbit client reporting question
by adam.scheblein＠marquette.edu 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Basically I want to fold in bb-who into hobbit where you can say if root is logged in then panic, if foo is logged in then warn, and then display that on the main page as well as just a general "who". We wouldn't really need any graphing, just a server tweak -- but if I wanted it to happen at the same frequency as all the other tests where would it be put?

Well, what would you like to do with it ? Right now, the "who" output is used only to count the number of logged-on users, which is then fed into the "users" RRD (available in the "trends" column). I haven't really thought much about what to do with the client data apart from feeding it into the cpu/disk/memory/... status columns. But the data is there, and can be used for whatever purpose you'd like. > Even if it is not > coded yet, just point me in the right direction and I will come up with > something (this way I don't feel like a slacker and actually contribute > back to hobbit) The simplest way of getting the client data is through the "bb" tool: bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog localhost" dumps the entire client message from the host "localhost" to stdout. This is split into sections, like [uptime] 19:59:52 up 4 days, 12:28, 2 users, load average: 0.44, 0.22, 0.07 [df] Filsystem 1K-blokke Brugt Tilbage Brug% Monteret på /dev/hda2 99511580 3604200 95907380 4% / /dev/hda3 47856164 37241288 10614876 78% /work If you only want the "who" section, then you can use bb 127.0.0.1 "clientlog localhost section=who" If you need more info, let me know.

Hobbit client reporting question
by adam.scheblein＠marquette.edu 29 Sep '05

Greetings, I saw that the hobbit client reports back "who" information, and I was wondering what would have to be done to make it so that I could implement that reporting functionality server side. Even if it is not coded yet, just point me in the right direction and I will come up with something (this way I don't feel like a slacker and actually contribute back to hobbit) Thanks, Adam Scheblein Marquette University UNIX Systems Administrator

[hobbit] help with hobbit-clients.cfg
by adam.scheblein＠marquette.edu 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

I was already running the latest snapshot, and I did finally solve my problem... I had 2 things wrong, the first one was that the line was on the bottom and not the top. Once I moved the DISK statement to the top of the list then it started to take effect after I corrected the second problem. My second problem was that for some reason it did not like warnlevel= and paniclevel= once I took those out it worked like a charm. The other little bit of confusion I had was that /cdrom would also include all its sub directories (since the server I was working with has 2 cdroms, we have /cdrom/disk1 and /cdrom/disk2) -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 12:33 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] help with hobbit-clients.cfg On Wed, Sep 28, 2005 at 08:55:22PM -0500, Scheblein, Adam wrote: > i have red the top part of the hobbit-clients.cfg file 4 times now and i can't figure out what i am doing wrong. > > i am trying to make it so that /cdrom does not cause a red alert > > I have tried the following: > DISK %^/cdrom.*/ warnlevel=101 paniclevel=102 > DISK /cdrom 101 102 Are you running the original 4.1.1 release ? That doesn't parse the hobbit-clients.cfg file correctly. Grab the latest snapshot from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/ and I'll bet it starts working for you.

If it is a client-based module, yet. There are some modules on deadcat that are host-based like bbfetch.
