URL Monitoring -- New User
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

We have a lot of URL's that we monitor. We have had cases where multiple URL's go down at the same time. I'm trying to figure out a way to have a view that would show me the machine name with the actual URL that is down. So for example, I may have 4 machines each with 4 or 5 URL's on them (4 ports 8081, 8082, 8083.) However, perhaps port 8081 goes down on 2 machines, and 8081 & 8083 goes down on the other two machines. I'd like a view to do this: machine1 http://machine1:8081 <http://machine1:8081/> Down http://machine1:8083 <http://machine1:8083/> Down machine 2 http://machine2:1081 <http://machine2:1081/> Down Any hints on doing something like this? Thanks..James

[hobbit] Hobbit Perl Notes question
by fduranti＠q8.it 03 Nov '06

Hi, It seems something related to accessibility of the file or directory, try to check the permission/group access of the user running the webserver (apache or www or something like that) and accessibility of the www and notes directory for that user...

RSS feeds

Greetings - I have a new installation of Hobbit v4.2.0 (with all-in-one patch), and it is working VERY well. I had been running Big Brother for over 10 years, it was showing its limits (performance), and I REALLY like the flexibility and features in Hobbit. But here is my question: We are using the RSS page option to generate some status pages, for a custom "traffic light" in our HelpDesk and Network Staff areas (very slick - used BB prior to this). RSS works great, easy to configure. Would it be possible to have an RSS generated with a user-configurable time-period for a "report" listing? My director would like to use RSS in his browser, and see what has happened "recently", rather than just what exists "now". Possible? Probable? Not necessary? Thanks for any comments, and for a great product. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jon Dustin - Network Specialist University of Southern Maine Portland, ME

Playing with linecount and a set of files
by thomas.seglard.enata＠cnp.fr 03 Nov '06

Hi, I'm playing with linecount facility and it's really amazing. I will use it to trace connection numbers from applications and error messages from log files. I'm reading documentation on it for several hours (it's friday afternoon so I'm a bit slow :D) and don't figure how to 'grep' words from a set of files and graph the total number of matches. Here is an example of what I want to do. My log files are within this directory /projets/mut/home/mutrec2/wls_ traitement/mut-domain2/logs/ . Then I would like to run this command and be able to graph result : $ grep -i -E '(SEVERE|Error)' *log*|wc -l 98 Is there a way to do such thing ?

Hobbit Perl Notes question
by danderson＠scotlandonline.co.uk 03 Nov '06

Hi guys 'n gals, I'm in the throws of getting Perl notes running with Hobbit. However, things are not going to plan. When clicking on any linked host, or on the 'notes export' option from the Reports dropdown, I get the following message. Inifile /home/hobbit/server/www/notes/hobbitperl-notes.cfg doesn't exist The above config file does exist, and for the meantime at least has 777 properties. Has anyone seen this problem before?

change check frequency for one client only?
by jjj863＠gmail.com 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

I had a stability problem with a client where the disk may become inaccessible. We have a test plan but needs something to detect whether the disk is writable every minute. Hobbit is running on it. So, if I can adjust the check frequency for this client alone to 1m instead of the default 5m, hobbit checks would fail then alert us, since hobbit clients needs to write temp files. Actually, this was how we get alerted yesterday.
