Here's the status page from the test: ---------- green 22-11-2006 11:22:32,48 usage:1 ------------- I stripped the rest for debugging the right stuf. So I guess your right that RRD isn't picking the right value.....

OpenVMS Availability Manager

Greetings, Has anyone ever come across or divined a way to integrate Hobbit with HP Availability Manager? We're are trying to monitor more of our VMS systems on Hobbit and would like to integrate existing tools (HP Mon and Hobbit).

disk usage in size (disk1 graph) limited to ~ 2TB ?
by bgmilne＠staff.telkomsa.net 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

I was considering making the disk1 graph the default for a specific installation (where the customer has a service which includes a specific capacity of storage available). However, the disk1 graph flatlines at just over 2TB (the filesystem is 4.5TB), with the values 2147483647.0KB for max and cur, while the disk check shows: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/share 4603452448 3710256576 893195872 81% /share The disk graph (in percentage) looks a lot more reasonable (no flat lines). 4.2.0 running on all boxen involved.

Extra value in the memory graph
by Bart_Gillis＠msp.be 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hello, I wrote a script that monitors the committed memory usage of a windows server. This script uses BBWin 0.8 client to load these values to hobbit. The script creates a file "memcommit" in the temp file of the BBWin client. Each 30 min the values ("realmempct") are send to the Hobbit where an extra column appears on the display server. I modified the hobbitserver.cfg, TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,... ,memcommit=ncv" NCV_memcommit="realmempct:GAUGE" And guess... A file memcommit.rrd was created that designed a new graph under the value of the new test. So far, all went fine. However, I'm not interested in 3 or 4 separate columns for my extra memory tests though I'd like to add this extra value in the existing memory graph. I have one restriction; my BBWin client does not allow files that contain a dot. (ex: memory.memcommit. These are not sent to the Hobbit server). In other words, is there a way that the Hobbit server can create a memory.memcommit.rdd file instead of the memcommit.rdd and how can I avoid that the extra column memcommit is created? Thanks in advance, Bart

Mixed disk graph results
by rmunsch＠solutionsforprogress.com 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hello list, I need to troubleshoot my disk usage graphs. Running debian, i have both values and NaN on the same graph, when viewed under trends or Disk itself. It's odd. Frex, i'm looking now at a graph that has values for / and /boot, and lines are plotted; but the same graph is summarizing nan for /home and /shared. All other tests are working fine. It's only disk usage, across multiple hosts, that remains wonky. -- Rob Munsch Solutions For Progress IT www.solutionsforprogress.com

I am occasionally seeing the following error report from bbtest: IO error in SSL_connect to https (47873/tcp) on host x.y.z.a: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) Does anybody know what this signifies? (my apologies for the duplicate post) Thanks, Larry Barber

theshire and SF
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Ok, I'm getting really frustrated with SF's limitations. For a project like The Shire I'm beginning to believe that it needs something a bit more flexible. I've decided to use a wiki to hold the site but most wikis require write privs to the filesystem...if only for the sessions. SF mounts all sites as read-only which really limits what can be done (hell, I was playing around with adding a page counter and couldn't even get that to work properly). I'm currently looking at a couple of other options and was hoping to have something up this week while I was off. =G=
