[hobbit] Custom RRD script
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hmm. I am not seeing that. I have my custom tests (I am up to 4 now) in specified in the GRAPHS variable, but NOT in the TEST2RRD variable, and I am getting the values, and seeing the graphs in my Trends display. But if I put them in the TEST2RRD variable, then my custom script is never called. Which is what made me wonder -- now I am really getting confused. In (grin) in case you haven't heard it before -- congratulations on a great tool -- I think it has significant improvements over BB in every area!

Hmm - no, at least it shouldn't behave like that. The custom RRD setup should be very simple. If your data shows up in the "mytest" column on the Hobbit display, add the "--extra-tests=mytest" and "--extra-script=mycustomscript.sh" options to the hobbitd_rrd commandline (in hobbitlaunch.cfg), and that should be it. Your script should get called whenever there's a status update for the "mytest" column. The part that probably tricks you up is that "mytest" must be added to both the TEST2RRD setting, and the GRAPHS setting. If it's missing from either of these, Hobbit won't send it through the RRD update process. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

graph scale
by plardinois＠be.tiauto.com 07 Feb '06

Hello, I try to graph the result of CPU tests (from network boxes). It's working well but I have a problem of scale. There is a factor of 100 missing. The data that I receive is good (I display it into the result test) but when the CPU is at maximum (100%), I see 1.0 on the graph. Here the configuration of "la", I use that to graph the CPU. Part of hobbitgraph.cfg : [la] TITLE CPU Load YAXIS Load DEF:avg=la.rrd:la:AVERAGE CDEF:la=avg,100,/ AREA:la#00CC00:CPU Load Average -u 1.0 GPRINT:la:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:la:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:la:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:la:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n Here a part of hobbitserver.cfg : ... TEST2RRD="cpu=la,...." ... With others CPU test on Windows servers, I have the same problem. With some Unix servers, it's work a little bit more on some servers. Do you have a solution to help me ?

Questions on "howtograph.txt"
by Larry.Sherman＠rbsgc.com 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi Henrik, I have been attempting to implement NCV graphing in hobbit, on version 4.1.2 and have run into a few problems/questions: First, the question: In the "slab" example, you custom test sends the string "inode_cache" but in your NCV_slab entry in hobbitserver.cfg, you have "inodecache:GAUGE". How does this work??? Second, the problem: We have a custom test which checks printer toner levels by going to the web page of the printer with lynx. Our test, called "toner" sends data in the format: lj102.toner black : 67 cyan : 56 magenta : 78 yellow : 43 The data does go into the rrd, but does not appear in the "<last_ds>" field, as in your slab example, but rather in the <value> field. Our graph shows up, but there is no data in it. I'm fairly sure that the graphs will work once the <last_ds> field is populated, but not sure where I made a mistake. Any thoughts? PS: I have been a BB user since 1999, and moved our servers to hobbit last Fall. We absolutely love it. Thanks Henrik!

Custom RRD script
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hobbit Folk, I have been struggling with the custom RRD capabilities in the latest version of Hobbit. I think I've found the issue -- if custom tests are listed in the TEST2RRD variable, then those tests are not forwarded to the test-script for action. Has anyone else noticed this? I've been through the source and can't find a reference to the TEST2RRD environment variable (but I am not much of a C programmer), so I can't verify/validate this behavior. But I have verified it by adding/subtracting my custom tests to the TEST2RRD variable and watching my debug output. Also, based on some recent mail, I think I know where to look now... Can anyone comment on this? I would really like to be able to include my custom RRD graphs on the status pages... I am using Solaris 8 on SPARC, Hobbit version is hobbit-4.1.2p1. GLH

Hi All How does hobbit/bbtest-net use to get the dns query output? I am not using the --no-ares hook. I thought it uses dig @server host, but I am probably wrong about that.

Graphs in trends column
by stef.coene＠docum.org 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi, I changed the GRAPHS variable in hobbitserver.cfg: "# This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage, # and the order in which they appear." The graphs are indeed not displayed in the trends column when you change GRAPHS. However, if I remove "memory" from the GRAPHS variable, the memory graph is also not displayed anymore on the memory column webpage. And that last thing is not really what I wanted. Stef
