Hi, The Graphs for the custom test is displayed wrong. In my custom rrd script I have used DERIVE as the data source type echo "DS:pageno:DERIVE:600:0:U" # Data for 'pages' test reported to hobbit.

[hobbit] Hobbit 4.1.2p1 no graphs
by trotunda＠opushealthcare.com 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

I am really baffled here. I just built rrdtool-1.2.12 cleanly with gcc 4.1.0 on HP-UX 11.23 then cleanly built hobbit 4.1.2p1 and I still don't get graphs displayed. No errors in hobbit logs and the only error I can find is in the apache error_log which says: "Premature end of script headers: hobbitgraph.sh, referer: http://............." My rrd data files are getting updated consistently and everything else looks completely normal. Anyone have any ideas on what to try next? Tim ________________________________ From: Camp, Neil D.

code specific rrdidx question

Sorry for the traffic, wanted to change this to say that maybe it isn't just (or plain isn't) RRDIDX, but maybe FNPATTERN as well.

mysql graphs
by jht＠lj.net 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I've setup hobbit and the mysql monitoring using the script from deadcat. All is working great except for one thing. When I click on the 'mysql' bullet in the status display, I get the lastest status message, but no graphs. If I click on the 'trends' bullet, I get the mysql graphs. For 'http', the apache graphs appear under both the 'http' and 'trends' bullets. What would make the mysql graphs appear in 'trends' but not 'mysql'? Thanks.

Help modifying bb-services
by r4bethke+HobbitMail＠wmich.edu 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

I'm currently working on a project that I need to get hobbit to test authentication on a number of servers namely an IMAP and SMTP server, along with a few others. I was guessing having little background in network diagnostic that I could modify the sent responses within bb-services to login to the server using a test account and then check for the proper response back. The problem I've run into is that I'm not clear on the proper commands or syntax to do this and when I have modified the tests it seems that I'll get a green event regardless to what I put within expect. Anyway if anyone could point me in the right direction (Examples are great too) it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robert Bethke

code specific rrdidx question

All, I don't know C all that well, so I need some assistance. what are the limits/constraints of RRDIDX for graphing? I believe the answer is buried somewhere in hobbitgraph.c Here is my test case: I had: sar,cpu0.rrd sar,cpu1.rrd sar,cpu2.rrd sar,cpu3.rrd ... sar,cpu10.rrd sar,cpu11.rrd ... sar,cpu15.rrd hobbitgraph.cfg: [sar] FNPATTERN sar,(.*).rrd TITLE CPU sar YAXIS % DEF:usr at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntusr:AVERAGE DEF:sys at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntsys:AVERAGE DEF:wio at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntwio:AVERAGE DEF:idl at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntidl:AVERAGE AREA:usr at RRDIDX@#0000FF:@RRDPARAM at pcntusr GPRINT:usr at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:usr at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:usr at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:usr at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n STACK:sys at RRDIDX@#FF0000:@RRDPARAM at pcntsys GPRINT:sys at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:sys at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:sys at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:sys at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n STACK:wio at RRDIDX@#800080:@RRDPARAM at pcntwio GPRINT:wio at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:wio at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:wio at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:wio at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n STACK:idl at RRDIDX@#008000:@RRDPARAM at pcntidl GPRINT:idl at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:idl at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:idl at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:idl at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n hobbitserver.cfg has sar::1 (to only draw 1 graph per cpu) for GRAPHS, and just regular "sar" is in TEST2RRD sar is in the "multitest" section of hobbitcgi.cfg, as well as listed in the extra tests section of hobbitlaunch.cfg On a host with 4 CPU's (0,1,2,3) it draws 4 graphs On a host with 16 CPU's (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) It would draw a graph for 0,1, and broken boxes for 2,3, and no others. SO, I removed "10,11,12,13,14,15" and outputted them to a,b,c,d,e,f respectively. The graphs then drew 0,1,2,3 and no more. If I click on a specific graph, and change the "first=" to 5, it will draw a graph for CPU4, so somewhere, the first= line isn't getting generated correctly. So I guess 2 questions: 1 already stated (limitations of RRDIDX - does is get confused by 1 vs 10 for example) The other is where the first= line gets updated and why isn't it getting updated correctly? Any insights would be much apprieciated, as this is driving me nuts. Thanks, Jeff

Follow-up: hobbitd_client crash on FreeBSD 4.11
by glarkin＠sourcehosting.net 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Hi Henrik, I know you're probably swamped, but I just wanted to confirm whether you received the trace files I sent you a couple of weeks ago? I had reported a hobbitd_client crash on FreeBSD 4.11 that I've been experiencing on a somewhat regular basis. I tried sending the files to your personal email address, but I'm not sure if they've reached you or not, so I'll try to confirm here. If you need me to send them again or make them available for download, let me know. I'm happy to help debug the problem with your guidance. The crashes have happened intermittently from time to time over the past couple of weeks. Other than having to manually clear the purple icon with a BB "drop" command, I'm not sure what other effect the crash has on monitoring. Regards, Greg Larkin
