Hi: That did it, it needs the YAXIS on the graphs. There are times that the hardest bug to fix is the one that it is in front of your face and you need a second pair of eyes.

[hobbit] urgent rrd help needed - im desperate!
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Is there one sar graph per host, or multiple? I agree with your assessment -- creating explicit custom graphs is easier than trying to make ncv_whatever work. Beware of the many moving parts: A) the "pitcher" -- a custom script run by the client to send over a status page which the server will associate with a column. Do yourself a favor and send the data in a format that is uniquely recognized at the server end. You can see what is sent by looking at the Web page associated with the column for a node. Henrik also suggests defining $BB as "echo" during the early process so you can see what is being sent by looking through the client log. B) the "catcher" -- a custom script run by the server to process the data in a status page for a custom test. You are only allowed ONE (1) catcher script per Hobbit server, so it must be equipped to handle all custom tests. Fortunately, the test/column name is a parameter for this script so you can use a switch statement to branch to the right code for the incoming data. Mine is handling about 7 custom tests right now. C) the RRD format that you will use -- even Tobi's documentation is hazy on whether it is better to use one file for several variables, or one variable in each file, or what. Experimentation, trial, and error cannot be avoided here unless you are already the RRD guru. D) the graph definitions in hobbitgraph.cfg -- more opportunity to learn RRD! E) changing the right settings in hobbitserver.cfg file for TEST2RRD and GRAPHS variables. F) Even so -- there are some limits. First, you can only have one graph on the status page for each custom test. Other graphs can be included on the trends page, but you will only get the one associated with each custom test -- unless you set the TREND: flag in bb-hosts -- which I haven't fully explored. Hope all this helps. Even though the Hobbit documents provide a lot of pointers, there are still many places where the innocent can go wrong -- but debugging it will teach you a lot about the Hobbit innards -- which helps you appreciate the hard work Henrik and others have put into this tool...! GLH -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Newman [mailto:jeffnewman75 at gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 11:45 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] urgent rrd help needed - im desperate! Ya, I tried for about 4-6 hours to get it to work, even tried following the steps that someone previously sent in to the hobbit list. I could get it to send data, but I couldn't get the graphing portion working. As for the problem I posted, I think I figured out what I need to do. I need to have a parsing script on the server end to parse the data into seperate RRD's. That way, I can send from the client side a test with the name "sar" (then I will only have 1 sar column) and let the server side create the sar#.rrd. Hopefully I don't have problems on the hobbitgraph.cfg end. -Jeff On 3/17/06, Galen Johnson <gjohnson at trantor.org> wrote: > Jeff Newman wrote: > > >Ok, i've been working on this for 6+ hours, and am totally stuck. > >Here is the script on the client: > > > > > >==================================== > > > >#!/bin/sh > > > >BB=/usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/bb > >BBDISP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > >MACHINE=xxxxxx > > > >sar -P ALL 1 1 | grep -E "^[0-9]|^( *)" | grep -v \- | grep -v cpu | > >cut -c 9-> /tmp/hobbit_sar.$$ 2>&1; mv /tmp/hobbit_sar.$$ > >/tmp/hobbit_sar.tmp </dev/null > /dev/null > > > > > >while read aline; do > >CPUNUM=`echo $aline | awk '{print $1}'` PUSR=`echo $aline | awk > >'{print $2}'` PSYS=`echo $aline | awk '{print $3}'` PWIO=`echo $aline > >| awk '{print $4}'` PIDL=`echo $aline | awk '{print $5}'` > > > >echo "cpu"$CPUNUM"pcntusr : $PUSR" >> /tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg > >echo "cpu"$CPUNUM"pcntsys : $PSYS" >> /tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg > >echo "cpu"$CPUNUM"pcntwio : $PWIO" >> /tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg > >echo "cpu"$CPUNUM"pcntidl : $PIDL" >> /tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg > > > >$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.sar,"$CPUNUM" green `date` `cat > >/tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg` " > >rm /tmp/hobbit_sar"$CPUNUM".msg > >done < /tmp/hobbit_sar.tmp > >rm /tmp/hobbit_sar.tmp > > > >======================================== > > > >It sends the data just fine.

Here is the REAL problem. Looking at the sar,0 button for example, I see the data update there, HOWEVER, NONE of the /usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd/xxxx/sar,#.rrd files ever get updated!!! In addition, there isn't even a link for a graph in the page. No errors in /var/log/hobbit/rrd*, or any others that I have looked at on the client or server. Here are the .cfg files. I have tried many variations, these are just how they are now: hobbitserver.cfg - here are the lines that I have "sar" in: 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,sar,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,HiFlowNet="ncv",sock="ncv",qmeter="ncv",rtt="ncv" Note, I have tried sar="ncv", sar,sar0,sar1, etc.. maybe I havn't tried the right variation :-( GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,netstat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd,ncv,HiFlowNet,sock,rtt,sar,sar0,sar1,sar2,sar3" again, tried many variations.. and also again, maybe I havn't tried the right one. bb-hosts: only tried putting "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx # conn sar that didn't help hobbitgraph.cfg: [sar] FNPATTERN sar(.*).rrd TITLE CPU sar YAXIS % DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntusr:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntsys:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntwio:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:cpu at RRDIDX@pcntidl:AVERAGE LINE2:p at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ -u 100 -l 0 GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n If anyone has anything else they need to see, let me know. I need to get this working quickly, and am at the end of my rope! I've done other custom graph's with custom RRD's, and never had this problem before. By the way, the host is sending other custom data just fine with no problems. Thanks for any help! -Jeff

[hobbit] BB Windows client 1.08d + msgs question

Hi Torsten, Make sure that the NT Computer name or BB Alias name exactly match your entry in the BBHOSTS file, the names are case sensitive. If your BBHOSTS file is using a FQDN then make sure then bbntcfg has the "Fully Qualified Domain Name" box checked. -----Original Message----- From: bb4 at richter-it.net [mailto:bb4 at richter-it.net] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 10:05 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] BB Windows client 1.08d + msgs question Hi all, I have the problem that a machine running Windows 2003 Server with BBNT 1.08d as client does not show up on the Hobbit server 4.1.2p1 running Linux. Since we have other clients running the same OS and client version which do show up on the server I suppose the problem is elsewhere. No firewall between the 2 machines and ethereal shows me that the data is coming from the client but seems to be ignored by the server. Has anybody had a similar problem and solved it?

[hobbit] RRD error in updating the rrd files
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

I don't know what is wrong, but I debugged my custom scripts using these methods: A) I changed my script to save the temporary file. B) I run the "catcher" by hand using the temporary file as input, and review the output. There are many variations you can use. For instance, you can simply grab and save the text in the Web page for your new test, and this will be essentially the same as what is in the temporary file that you are given. You can also add a log file mechanism for the script, and add whatever you want to it. Make sure you don't put in too much and forget about, since Hobbit will tirelessly run your script every 5 minutes until the 12th of Never or your computer croaks, whichever comes first.
