[hobbit] HTML Code in Alerts
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Chris, I don't believe that Hobbit will send HTML alerts. If you want to do this you will need to use a custom notification script for each test that provides HTML alerts. I use the following script for mine... ############################################################ # The following is an HTML alert script. Place it in your # # ext directory as -email-notification.sh. # ############################################################ sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail" bbserveraddress="http://<HOST NAME>" echo $BBCOLORLEVEL echo $RECOVERED echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >$BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ lines=`wc -l $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | awk '{print $1}'` rowtail=$(($lines -1)) rowhead=$(($lines -3)) tail -n $rowtail $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | head -n $rowhead > $BBTMP/temp.$$ #echo $lines echo "To: $RCPT" >$BBTMP/notification.$$ case $RECOVERED in 0) case $BBCOLORLEVEL in red) echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME CRITICAL (RED)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; yellow) echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME warning (YELLOW)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; green) echo"Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME okay (GREEN)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; esac echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\" <BODY BGCOLOR=\"$BBCOLORLEVEL\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-$BBCOLORLEVEL.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; 1) echo "Subject: Hobbit $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME recovered Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\" <BODY BGCOLOR=\"green\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-green.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ ;; esac cat $BBTMP/temp.$$ >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ echo "<center> Please see: <a href=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=$BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS\">Service Details</a> </center>" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$ $sendmail $RCPT <$BBTMP/notification.$$ rm -rf $BBTMP/*.$$ exit 1 Then put the following in your hobbit-alerts.cfg file HOST=* SERVICE=mrtg RECOVERED COLOR=red SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/html-email-notification.sh <EMAIL ADDRESS> Also, I typically put the HTML alert tests in the EXSERVICE value of my other alerts. That way it doesn't send out the text alerts and only sends out the HTML ones. I am no programmer so there may be better ways to accomplish what I did, but it works great and I am happy with it.

[hobbit] using var in bb-hosts?
by brandste＠hebis.de 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

[sorry, columns :(, this morning my input devics are a bit dizzy ] Hi all, maybe a not important question... Using bb-hosts with multiple hosts elongates to quiet a view lines ;-) But using different tests, slas, maintenance windows and stuff easy generates a lot of columns...and the line gets hard to read and to edit. (okok....i know about sed ;-) ) Is there a possibility to use variables as in hobbit-alerts? So one could group: $locationA-sla="DOWNTIME=W:0700:0730 REPORTTIME=W:0731:0659 WARNPCT:95.0" $locationA-service="NK:conn ftp ssh imap otherstuff route:router1,router2,router3" 1.1.1.1 usermonitor # http://www.userurl.com $locationA-sla $locationA-service 1.1.1.2 usermonitor2 # http://www.userurl2.com $locationA-sla $locationA-service ... man for bb-hosts says nothing about it.

[hobbit] Dropping a filesystem as opposed to entire DISK test
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

No, because the test data will just get regenerated the text time the hobbit client sends data. Assuming you ARE using the hobbit client, you could modify the hobbit-clients.cfg on your display server to not alarm against those mounted filesystems: DISK /mnt/iso 101 102 HOST=myhost Although I'm not entirely certain that it will work with percentages above 100%, but it'd be worth a shot. -Eric > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Munsch [mailto:rmunsch at solutionsforprogress.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 6:01 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] Dropping a filesystem as opposed to entire DISK test > > Along the lines of > > ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME ftp" to > permanenly remove all traces of a test. > > > from the FAQ, can i do something like > > "drop HOSTNAME disk /file/system/i/dont/care/about" > > to get rid of something goofy causing an alert (in this case, > a mounted > ISO, which is, of course, at 100%...)? > > -- > Rob Munsch > Solutions For Progress IT > > > To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to > hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk > >

[hobbit] sshd notification in syslog
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Three posibilities, off the top of my head: On the client side: 1. Install syslog-ng instead of ksyslogd, and filter on the ip address of your hobbit server. 2. Call your logrotate script (assuming you use one) more often, and/or make it compress your old syslog messages. On the hobbit server side: (this is my preferred option) 1. change your bb-services file ($HOBBIT/server/etc/bb-services) so that ssh test sends the version string. I think that will stop your sshd from complaining. ie.: [ssh|ssh1|ssh2] send "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.1\r\n" expect "SSH" options banner port 22 I think if you disconnect after the version exchange, but before the diffie-helman key exchance, sshd wont log anything. Now, if you arent accepting v2 connections on your clients, you'll have to set up a separate [ssh1] stanza that supplies an ssh v1 string (SSH-1.5-OpenSSH_4.2) and change your ssh statement in your bb-hosts to ssh1 for those machines. Otherwise your logs are just going to be filled with protocol mismatch messages instead.

[hobbit] Collecting RRD from custom script, but no graph
by Syms.MS＠forces.gc.ca 03 Mar '06

Thanks, this was the problem! S -----Original Message----- From: Dan Vande More [mailto:bigdan at gmail.com] Sent: 3-Mar-06 12:53 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Collecting RRD from custom script, but no graph Usually the magnifying glass link with no graph is a sign that the RRD was unable to generate. This is normally because of a configuration issue, and I seem to get them when my hobbitgraph.cfg section is wrong. I get the impression that your DEF line is incorrect in your hobbitgraph.cfg file. by using DEF:tr=trackoswex.rrd:tracks:AVERAGE, you are telling the grapher to use the trackoswex.rrd file and "tracks" as the name of your datasource. Is your datasource's name really "tracks"? To find the name of your real datasource from a simple rrd file, do this: rrdtool dump /path/to/your.rdd | less Then search for the <RENAMED_ds> tag. (Should be right near the top.) For instance, one of mine says: <RENAMED_ds> <RENAMED_name> procATemp </RENAMED_name> <RENAMED_type> GAUGE </RENAMED_type> <RENAMED_minimal_heartbeat> 600 </RENAMED_minimal_heartbeat> <RENAMED_min> 0.0000000000e+00 </RENAMED_min> <RENAMED_max> NaN </RENAMED_max>  <RENAMED_last_ds> UNKN </RENAMED_last_ds> <RENAMED_value> 6.4550000000e+03 </RENAMED_value> <RENAMED_unknown_sec> 0 </RENAMED_unknown_sec> </RENAMED_ds> So my datasource's name is procATemp. Note that this only works for a simple .rrd file. Some rrds contain several data sources, so don't let this mislead you.

Collecting RRD from custom script, but no graph

Hi, folks- I wrote a custom data collection script to send varying data to hobbit- hobbit receives it ok, displays the status properly and populates an rrd to store the data, but then doesn't graph it. I do get the graph name in a text hyperlink beside the magnifying glass icon, but that's it. I've done a similar thing with hobbit on a debian box before without a problem, but now that I'm running it on an aging Redhat Advanced Server 3 box, it's giving me some trouble. The configuration bits: I'm running rrdtool 1.0.48, gcc 2.3.3 and Hobbit 4.1.2p1. The output line from my script: ${BB} ${BBDISP} "status ${MACHINE}.trackoswex ${COLOR} `date` trackoswex: ${TRACKS} " In hobbitlaunch.cfg, I'ved added [trackoswex] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD /usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/gccs/trackoswex.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitclient.log INTERVAL 30m >From hobbitgraph.cfg [trackoswex] TITLE OSWEX Tracks YAXIS Number of tracks DEF:tr=trackoswex.rrd:tracks:AVERAGE AREA:tr#00CCCC:Tracks COMMENT:These are the number of tracks received in the last 120 minutes.\n GPRINT:tr:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:tr:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:tr:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:tr:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n >From hobbitserver.cfg TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,trackoswex=ncv" # This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage, # and the order in which they appear.
