Sorry, folks, that wasn't meant for the whole list. I need to read the From/To lines a bit more closely. /Thomas Kern /301-903-2211 > -----Original Message----- > From: Kern, Thomas [mailto:Thomas.Kern at hq.doe.gov] > Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 3:19 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: RE: [hobbit] NCV_testname= specification >

I don't know yet. I can't get my hobbit admin to acknowledge any of my email or voicemail about hobbit. She is avoiding me. I think something can be done because of the special metrics disk report. It shows all of the disk data in a single chart rather than the 4/chart that is standard in the disk and trend pages. I also looked at the hobbit server source code about the vmstat trend chart. It is a nice 3 color chart for SYS, USR, IDLE cpu utilization. The backend code is the only process that deals with the vmstat section of the client-data stream and there is only the cpu section is used. I coded a HOBVMSTT exec to build a [vmstat] section from the VM Performance ToolKit data. It got automatically sent to the hobbit server and in the trends page a placeholder graph appeared (nice magic). Unfortunately the hobbit server has permissions issues with every new graph so all I get is the red-x. Once I get these things to graph nicely, I will package them up with a little write-up as a SAMPLE extension to Hobbit/VM for those sites that also use VMPTK. /Thomas Kern /301-903-2211 > -----Original Message----- > From: Rich Smrcina [mailto:rsmrcina at wi.rr.com] > Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:58 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Re: [hobbit] NCV_testname= specification > > I was getting ready to ask the same question for a different reason > (thanks Thomas).

Can the wildcard be used to dynamically define all of the data? I would like avoid changing the central hobbit config (not under my control) every time one of the z/OS sysprogs decides to fire up a test LPAR. My test sends this status msg. Tue Dec 5 10:40:25 EST 2006 General Processor LPAR utilization exceeds threshold: 95 % LEGACY:1.7 ZOSEPROD:94.3 ZOSPROD:2.9 Total:98.9 Can I code NCV_LPAR="*:GAUGE" instead of NCV_LPAR="LEGACY:GAUGE,ZOSEPROD:GAUGE,ZOSPROD:GAUGE,Total:GAUGE" ? /Thomas Kern >Henrik Stoerner wrote: > >>On Thu, Oct 12, 2006 at 09:45:10PM -0400, Galen Johnson wrote: >> >>Active Sessions: 2 >>Disconnected Sessions: 14 >>Group1 Users: 7 >>Group2 Users: 9 >> >>There needs to be a way to define a data block within a status message and have NCV >>graphing ignore everything outside of it... >> >Setup the NCV_foo setting like this: > >NCV_foo="ActiveSessions:GAUGE,DisconnectedSessions:GAUGE,Group1Users:GA UGE, >Group2Users:GAUGE,*:NONE" > >The "*:NONE" makes the NCV handler ignore everything except the datasets >explicitly listed. > >Note: you'll have to delete the current rrd file when making this kind >of change. > >Regards, >Henrik

[hobbit] Ext scripts not working from an include file?
by Ben_Boulanger＠cable.comcast.com 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Wow... I'm incredibly stupid for not realizing that! I get it. Thank you Charles. Of course, I'm parsing the file which has nothing in it. Please delete all emails from me on this subject so that I can hide my shame. -----Original Message----- Maybe you should modify your scripts so they use "bbhostgrep" utility (in bin/) instead of directly grepping the bb-hosts file.

Ext scripts not working from an include file?
by Ben_Boulanger＠cable.comcast.com 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello, First - thank you for Hobbit, It's excellent and I personally love it. The real reason for the email: I've got a bunch of ext scripts that I converted from big brother and they seem to work fine from the bb-hosts file, but they don't operate from the include file. Here's an example of a line that works in the bb-hosts but not in the include: 192.168.1.1 Hostname_of_Box # snmp chassis ntsvcs ipedge clustat drivechk pcanywhere strmstat snapchk verchk filesizes driveerrors The only thing I would get is conn info and trends. Anyone encounter this before? Thanks, Ben Boulanger

Regex help with disk mount points
by shea_greg＠emc.com 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi all, I'm pulling my hair out on what should be a straight forward regex but it's not working. I have a ton of database partitions that the client group doesn't care about so I'm trying to create an entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg with the disk values greater than 100. Here's my entry: DISK "%^/tidw.*" 102 102 With the disk mount points being something like: /tidwiwdev_db_data01 /tidwiwdev_db_data02 /tidwiwdev_db_data03 /tidwiwdev_db_data04 /tidwiwdev_db_data05 ... etc. /tidwiwapp_db_app01 /tidwiwapp_db_app02 /tidwiwapp_db_app03 /tidwiwapp_db_app04 /tidwiwapp_db_app05 ... etc. What am I not doing correctly?? Thanks -Grs- Gregory R Shea EMC Corporation

MSG_DONTWAIT, MSG_WAITALL, MSG_NOSIGNAL was: [hobbit] Error compiling snapshot
by lars.ebeling＠leopg9.no-ip.org 05 Dec '06

Dear all, After some more googling I inserted: #ifndef MSG_DONTWAIT #define MSG_DONTWAIT 0x40 #endif and lib/locator.c compiled, but then I got error in hobbitd_locator.c After more googling and trial and error I inserted this #ifndef MSG_DONTWAIT #define MSG_WAITALL 0 #define MSG_DONTWAIT 0x40 #define MSG_NOSIGNAL 0x400 #endif and hobbitd_locator.c compiled. But I don't dare to install. Lars PS What I understood in my googling was that using the flags are not Unix 95/98 compliant. Some where I also saw that AIX doesn't support the flags.

Does hobbit support fail over yet? When I last looked at it the support was planned but not implemented.
