Data, bb-hostsvc.sh
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I need some help. I've searched the Archives for a solution, but I haven't been able to find one. When I click on "Client data Available", I get a pop up window saying "Unknown File Type". I open the file with word, and everything looks fine, except no HTML headers or footers. Everything else is working, and this function was working. It just stopped. I've double checked my httpd.conf in apache, and I haven't changed it since the original install. (I added all the AddHandlers, etc. as described in the install docs) I've checked privileges, and I haven't changed those either since the original install. I can execute the hobbitsvc.cgi script and it gives me: Content-type: text/html <html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Invalid request</body></html> I've seen this problem reported in the lists, but with no definite fix action. Help would really be appreciated. Has anyone else seen this just stop working and not recognizing the File Type? When you open the Doc, all the information is there, but the HTML headers are not. I suspect that the hobbitsvc.cgi script is not pulling the HTML headers, but I also checked and they are there. Thanks..James

[hobbit] Netstat rrd error updating

Which Solaris version is supposed to contain those fields then? I've tried Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 and neither version produce those fields with netstat. Can I recompile part of the Hobbit server so that it will just not look for the fields and process what it does get?

Problem with Metrics Graph

When I try to Graph multiple systems with the Metrics Graph, I get no output. A single system works fine. For example, if I select three systems, for memory/swap, nothing shows up. Has anyone seen this? Thanks.James

Questions about dbcheck
by shea_greg＠emc.com 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hi all, I have some questions and some observations to share about installing DBD::Sybase on RHEL 4. First the observations Originally I installed the hobbit-perl-client on my BB development box, Sun Ultra-80 Solaris 8. All Perl modules and freetds were built using defaults, no prefix options passed to configure. Everything built fine and tested dbcheck to an MSSQL server and all worked as expected. Now I do the same thing on my Hobbit development box, Dell 2650 RHEL 4 and it just wouldn't work. I ran dbcheck on an MySQL server and that was fine, so I know it's not the hobbit-perl-client. A little more digging and I found that other people have had similar problems with DBD::Sybase and it turns out to be an issue with how freetds was built. I had to rebuild freetds with the --prefix=/usr/local/freetds argument to configure and then rebuild DBD::Sybase with these environment variables set SYBASE=/usr/local/freetds, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/freetds/lib. Once built I used the same environment variables when running dbcheck for MSSQL and voila!! If this is an abnormal installation, or general knowledge, then I apologize for taking up your time. Now for the questions I didn't want the dbcheck uptime column overwriting the uptime stats I receive from the BBWin client So in the dbcheck.ini defaults section I added: uptimeascolumn = yes uptimecolumn = DBuptime So now the uptime column reflects the uptime reported by BBWin, but I don't have a DBuptime column. What am I doing wrong ? Also, the tblspcheck is set to the default 90:95, yet all tablespaces that are over these limits just show green. Any assistance would be appreciated Thanks -Grs- Gregory R Shea EMC Corporation

CPU LOAD
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

I have setup Hobbit in a Solaris environment, which has systems with a different number of CPU's. In the past with Big Brother, I had to edit the cputtab file and add the different loads for each system. Is there a way that allows me to specify the CPU load based on the number of CPU's on the system? Thanks..James
