Bb-hosts unmanageable
by Ralf.Strandell＠silja.com 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi Would it be possible to 1) Split bb-hosts into "hobbit-tests" (test config) and "hobbit-display" (display structure, use names given is hobbit-tests). Keep bb-hosts as fallback... (We do testing by ip so that we can rename our targets with **descriptive names** in bb-hosts and also monitor the network during dns-failures. Not all IPv4 devices have a hostname either. We also have "hosts" that are clusters and should go red only if ALL associated ip's go red. We have VPN-tunnels, that go red if certain criteria are met - even if pings to remote site work...through backup lines. All this complexity calls for an abstraction layer on top of possible DNS-names. That again requires the separation of the probes from the presentation). 2) Let us "include subpage filename" to cut these files into smaller, more manageable pieces. I don't like my 500 line structureless config file. 3) We would need two main VIEWS: 3a) infrastructure view: keep routers/switches on one page (&subpages), keep UPS'es on another page (the Power Page), keep servers on a third page and so on. 3b) business process view: group gateways, switches, UPSes, servers, printers by site or by business process Because of this we would like to have a separate hobbit-display. Writing EVERYTHING twice, the other half with noconn, is a nightmare. I get paid for this, but still...

[hobbit] New Hobbit "admin" Scripts

Yes, but most unix es don't spport those flags for head and grep ! I didn't check on the sed. IM on a Solaris 8 system I read gnu man page for grep and didn't even understand what the -o flag did and not im not sure egrep would do the extend regular exp. If I did I might try to do it another way. .

I think i must do an switch between the Systems. The option of each programm differs extremely (but i only have Sun mashines here as an other Unix, but not tested yet). I will work on that after the christmass day, what system do you use? I read Redhat but it seems to be not right ;-) thx Stefan -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://scorpion/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortfsb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Disk Check Bug?
by rleon＠racenter.com 21 Dec '06

Just wondering. How does hobbit calculate the disk % on HPUX ? I have a fs that shows 100% on hobbit but when I do bdf it shows 99%. Is this a feature? Or a bug? Richard

Yes an in correct transfer ; for all the scripts have ^M at the end of the line. Thats easy enoght to fix after down load though. What shell are you using its not sh (bourne) is it realy bash ? I cant get the select statment in viewlogs.sh to work. Look like no vaule is parsed. I hard coded a log in and it displays. I put an echo "$SELECT" and it blank. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://scorpion/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortfsb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

New Hobbit "admin" Scripts
by stefan.freisler＠aspect-online.de 21 Dec '06

Hi, i have wrote 5 CGI-Scripts for administrate Hobbit. But i need Helf because there are many unsolved Problems 1. A Script which can delete/rename Services or Hosts 2. A Script where you can edit your Config in Browser 3. A Script to test your hobbit-alert.cfg in two way. 1. By using bbcm 2. To change any Test in any Color you want 4. A Script to watch your Hobbit Server Logs in Browser 5. A Script you can view Graphs with an exact Time. You can download it here: http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~henk/hobbit/ and copie it in ./cgi-secure header and footer must copied in ./server/web/ and your Menu should changed: (./server/www/menu_items.js) in something like that: ... ['Administration', null, null, ['Find host', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-cgi/bb-findhost.sh'], ['Acknowledge alert', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/bb-ack.sh'], ['Enable/disable', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/hobbit-enadis.sh'], ['Edit critical systems', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/hobbit-nkedit.sh'], ['Rename/Delete', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/chhostservice.sh'], ['Edit Configs', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/edit_files.sh'], ['Test alerts', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/testalarm.sh'], ['View Hobbit-Server Logs', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/viewlogs.sh'], ['View Graph', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/view_graph.sh'], ], ... NOW TO MY PROBLEMS: 1. How can i found out which server have which service? and that only by using the Filesystem because i don't use C (i use normal bashscripts) 2. How can i found which Server has which graph? (with the same Condition) 3. Bugs, Problems,.... thx a lot Stefan P.S. sorry for my bad English its christmas soon ;-)

ping and traceroute
by Schrittenlocher＠rz.uni-frankfurt.de 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Good morning, this is an idea for a feature request. It would be nice if there would happen a traceroute automatically if conn/ping fails. So the result of traceroute could be displayed in addition to the negative ping results and we would know if the problem is at in our net or outside. Alternative: All standart tests of hobbit would allow to add scripts to be executed once a test fails. So everyone can handle this as (s)he likes. I wish all of you a silent pager the next days!

I was wondering how I can get this rule to work? Right now it is not working the way I expect. Everything has the 90 95 threshhold. HOST=myhost DISK * 90 95 DISK /g98 90 95 DISK /g01 80 90 DISK /j01 80 90 DISK /i98 90 95 DISK /home 80 90 DISK %^/i.*/ 100 101 DISK %^/j.*/ 100 101 DISK %^/g.*/ 100 101 Thanks Richard
