They're all just a stack of switches, with the mdf1-1 being the first switch in the building. Maybe that'll work. Let me try it.

Client Purple Problem (ANOTHER ONE)
by hobbitsam＠gmail.com 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi, I have set up a custom test in AIX to look for errors using errpt comand (such as disk fail, lvm, etc). This test starts every 12 hours, first the server displays green status and after some time it displays purple status (but if i click on it , everything is ok). The bb-purple.log shows: Mymachine errpt (expired) That's my clientlunch.cfg [errpt] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-errpt.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-errpt.log INTERVAL 12h The bb-errpt.log is empty. Is there a timeout setting ? Regards and happy new year! ;-O

Few processes after startup II

Hi, I rebuilt with hobbit-4.1.2p1. The effect is the same. The browser shows only the index. There were no compile errors. I suppose I am missing something obvious but I can't see it. Are there any other logs despite $BBLOGDIR? Thanks for hints where to look at! Rolf This was my first mail which didn't get an answer yet. Finally we want migrate from BB to Hobbit. I build hobbit_4.1.1 on Solaris 9 and started it. Only a part of the processes that should run are actually running. What is missing?

Server side EXT script not running or appearing on web page

Hi, I'm trying to replace the inbuilt SSH test with one that does something intelligent and have put this into ~hobbit/server/ext: hobbit% cat server/ext/NGssh #!/bin/sh BBHTAG=NGssh # What we put in bb-hosts to trigger this test COLUMN=NGssh # Name of the column, often same as tag in bb-hosts $BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep $BBHTAG | while read L do set $L # To get one line of output from bbhostgrep HOSTIP="$1" MACHINEDOTS="$2" MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'` MSG="$BBHTAG status for host $MACHINEDOTS" reply = `ssh $MACHINE -l hobbit /usr/ucb/whoami` if [ "$reply" = "hobbit" ] COLOR=green else COLOR=red fi $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` ${MSG} " done exit 0 Then the script is added to bb-hosts: hobbit% grep NGssh ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts group-only conn|cpu|disk|info|memory|msgs|procs|NGssh|trends Campus 123.123.5.52 hostert # noping NGssh 123.123.1.12 hostick # noping NGssh 123.123.16.9 hostker # noping NGssh 123.123.3.11 hostel # noping NGssh 123.123.8.8 hostay # noping NGssh 123.123.5.49 hostmis # noping NGssh 123.123.3.17 hosteus # noping NGssh 123.123.1.11 hosty # noping NGssh 123.123.9.13 hostger # noping NGssh What else needs to be done to action this script? The script doesn't seem to be running and nothing is appearing in a column. Scripts from the deadcat site mention a BBEXT variable but it's not in any of the hobbit config files.

hobbit and bbmrtg.pl
by cmaney＠pronettech.com 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Here's the rundown: -Debian Linux (new install as of about 2 weeks ago) -Big Brother installed and working for basic monitoring of network equipment -Hobbit installed and running for basic monitoring -mrtg installed, and running in cron every 5 minutes and I can tell it's creating rrd files where I told them to go -I added the blurb in hobbitlaunch.cfg from the pleiades.com website (after changing the directories to mirror mine... /home/hobbit...) -I ran cfgmaker using the template file and created the config file for mrtg that I'm running above I have no error messages in /var/log/hobbit/bbmrtg.log. I *do* have error messages in rrd-data.log and rrd-status.log that say this: <timestamp> tried to down BOARDBUSY: invalid argument The problem is, I'm not getting any graphs or links to graphs... where should they show up? I think I'm missing something *really* basic here. Should I be telling it to put the graphs in a certain place? Or the .rrd files in a certain place? I know how to move the rrd files around, but where do I tell it to move the graphs? Any help you can offer would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks, Clay Maney ps: yes, I've read 'perldoc bbmrtg.pl' and searched through the last years worth of archives on this list for anything involving 'mrtg', but I'm just missing it!
