Lots of filesystems and disk graphs
by hobbit＠pvaughan.us 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

I have a server with a lot of filesystems on it, somewhere around 50. And I'm finding that hobbit will only show about the first 36 on the disk page. Is there any way to make it display all the graphs? I can manually edit the URL for the longer historical view of the graphs and get to the last couple, so the RRD files are being populated.

[hobbit] System logs at (null) : No log data available

That was it. You're the man Larry! I guess it was in the cfg file, but who reads those things:) ... # "hobbitclient" runs the Hobbit client. The client is installed automatically # when you install a Hobbit server (presumably, you do want to monitor the # Hobbit server ?), but there's no need to have two hobbitlaunch instances # running at the same time. So we'll just run it from here. # Note: If you are using another client package, you should disable this one. ... Thanks!

I bet you have a hobbit client running, it installs automatically with the server. Check your hobbitlaunch.cfg file for the the hobbit client entry and disable it.

System logs at (null) : No log data available

Hey all, Been getting this since I did an bb->hobbit conversion on Thurs. I even upgraded to the 4.1.2 snapshot and it didn't fix it. The msgs file for my hobbit server (which still runs the bb client, not the hobbit) alternates between clear and green every few minutes. There's no error/downtime, so it's not troubling but it's destroying my "All non-green" page. It will go green, then two minutes later it goes clear with this message: " System logs at (null) : No log data available The client did not report any logfile data" Then a couple minutes later it goes green again. Here is a snapshot of some of the entries on the "all non-green page": "Tue Sep 20 14:15:36 2005 clear 0:00:48 Tue Sep 20 14:13:19 2005 green 0:02:17 Tue Sep 20 14:10:35 2005 clear 0:02:44 Tue Sep 20 14:08:19 2005 green 0:02:16 Tue Sep 20 14:05:35 2005 clear 0:02:44 Tue Sep 20 14:03:19 2005 green 0:02:16 Tue Sep 20 14:00:35 2005 clear 0:02:44 Tue Sep 20 13:58:19 2005 green 0:02:16 Tue Sep 20 13:55:34 2005 clear 0:02:45 Tue Sep 20 13:53:19 2005 green 0:02:15 Tue Sep 20 13:50:31 2005 clear 0:02:48 Tue Sep 20 13:48:19 2005 green 0:02:12 Tue Sep 20 13:45:30 2005 clear 0:02:49" Anyone have any advice?

It's in the ~hobbit/server/etc/columndoc.csv file - just add a line with the name of the column and the (HTML) description, separated by a semi-colon.

[hobbit] problem with disk test display
by Larry.Barber＠usda.gov 20 Sep '05

Not necessarily, most of the "dead" partitions on my machines are CD's that were mounted to install software, and then dismounted, leaving an .rrd file, but returning nothing in the df output after being dismounted.

I would be wary about calling this a bug. You should not be dropping file systems without a good reason. If you do drop a file system, you expect to do extra work. ie. locate rrd file and delete it (or run a command that does it for you). I would be concerned if a tool automatically removed a disk parition graph if it was not mounted at the time it was last checked. Maybe this should be made as a note in the documentation somewhere.

Problem with the rss file
by fduranti＠q8.it 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi Henrik, I've a little problem with the creation of the rss/xml file. Sometimes I get errors in it related at some external plugin used with some bb client that put character that will distrupt the file. This is an example of what i get: The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'http://itromlx10/bb/bb2.rss'. Line 66, Position 55 <description>red Tue Sep 20 10:19:43 MET DST 2005 &red prtdiag reports some failures !!! </description> ------------------------------------------------------^ It seems to me that the & char have to be escaped (or removed) to get it work. Regards Francesco

[hobbit] 10-11pm RRD gap in graphs (4.1.1)

I actually get the same thing, but it happens between 5:30 and 6:30 every day. Robert -----Original Message----- From: Craig Cook [mailto:craig at cookitservices.com] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 8:53 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] 10-11pm RRD gap in graphs (4.1.1) I have an odd issue... >From around 10pm at night to around 11pm (EST) I have a gap in my CPU and Processes/Users graphs. I haven't seen any reasons in the hobbit logs. Other RRD graphs are fine (disk, vmstat, etc) This is not just one night, but every night. I am using the hobbit client on the hobbit server, and hobbit client on another linux box (both are CentOS 4). Has anyone else seen this? What is significant about CPU, Proc/Users graphs?
