03/19 snapshot : "disable until OK" and locally configured client
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi Henrik first of all, let me thank you for your implication, I've seen a lot of changes in the code this week-end ! The "disable until OK" function works fine now (tested with a Quest BB client 3.01), however the locally configured Hobbit client still gives this error (in hobbitclient.log) : /BB/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 54: /BB/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitd_client: No such file or directory After linking the hobbitd_client (from ~server/bin to ~client/bin), it works fine.

NCV data collector, ok, what am I doing wrong?
by papo＠dcentral.net 20 Mar '06

Hi: I'm trying to get the graph for mysql usage to work. I've been reading through the archives and I've been trying different combinations of parameters, without too much luck. Le's start with what it works. It's getting the data from the client and creating the mysql.rrd file. From there, It's not displaying data out into the website. When I run the call to hobbitgraph.sh directly from the browser, it is returning back an error 500 for mysql but I'm getting results from other graphs. Anyway, without further introduction, these are my parameters: hobbitserver: #only testing slowqueries for now NCV_mysql="Slowqueries:GAUGE" 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,mysql=ncv" 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,mysql,ncv" and yes, it comes out from mysql.rrd (from rrdtools dump) <ds> <name> Slowqueries </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min> <max> NaN </max>  <last_ds> UNKN </last_ds> <value> 0.0000000000e+00 </value> <unknown_sec> 0 </unknown_sec> </ds> And this is the definition from hobbitgraph, which is mysqlslow with a "mysql" tag. (try to put the entry on trends, and did not work either, anyway). mysqlslow and mysqlthreads are commented out. [mysql] DEF:slow=mysql.rrd:Slowqueries:AVERAGE TITLE MySQL Slow Queries LINE2:slow#00CCCC:Slow Queries COMMENT:\n GPRINT:slow:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:slow:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:slow:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:slow:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n Other than that, I do not see anything wrong, and there are no errors coming out of anywhere. But I just can't get the graph out on the website for mysql. (the other ones are working fine). I know that I must be missing something really basic, I just can't pinpoint it. Any help would be appreciated. Luis

CUSTOM RRD DATA VIA SCRIPTS -- not working :-(
by subhash.gada＠logicacmg.com 17 Mar '06

Hi Henrik, I have written the following script to create custom rrd dada file, but it is not working. ####################### #!/bin/sh # Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile HOSTNAME="$1" TESTNAME="$2" FNAME="$3" if [ "$TESTNAME" = "printq" ] then i=0 cat $FNAME | \ while read line do v=`echo $line | grep "^PRN...:" | awk -F: '{print $2}'` # The RRD dataset definitions echo "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" # The filename echo "printq.$i.rrd" let i=$i+1 echo $v done fi exit 0 #####################3 According to the hobbitd_rrd man page $FNAME is the file which will have the data of the test. However in the example script FNAME=$3 is assigned, so what would be the value of FNAME=$3 across the script, even for HOSTNAME=$1 and TESTNAME=$2 why is that given? I thought of reading $FNAME line by line and grep the value of that line and assign to a variable. And create separate rrd file for each value. I tested the script by assigning the values TESTNAME=printq & FNAME=testdata 'testdata' is a file which contain some data as follows which resembles the data reported by 'printq' test. PRN123:0 PRN345:6 PRN456:2 PRN123:9 The script is working as expected when I tested the above way. but when I triggered it with hobbitd_rrd it does nothing. :-( Can you please point out what is going wrong or if I have missed any thing? ##############Lines from hobbitlaunc.cfg################################ [rrdstatus] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-script =/home/hobbit/server/bin/rl.sh --extra-test=printq # "rrddata" updates RRD files with information that arrives as "data" messages. # If you want RRD graphs of your monitoring BB data, then you want to run this.

For each data element, you need to put out the DS line, then the file name, then the values. Make the file name match the element. So, if F070 = 1, F001 = 2, F037 = 5 "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F070.rrd" "1" "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F001.rrd" "2" "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F037.rrd" "5" The Hobbit RRD support will do the right thing, creating these datasets in the directory for the associated host. Then, in the Hobbit graph definition, you have to figure out how to use the wildcard mechanism to find all the F*.rrd files. The file names can be used to replace the parameter value "value" in the dataset would become F070, F001, F037, etc. This seems to be how the disk magic works. Good luck!

[hobbit] CUSTOM RRD DATA VIA SCRIPTS
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Here is my poor attempt to help. From what I understand you have the output of this test that has a number of values being sent in the form form of Name:Value. You want to seperate out the name and the value so that you can create an RRD of the values witht the DS being the name. If that is the case then you can loop through the returned values with something like: GREP="/bin/grep" MSGFILE="<whatever conains your data>" cat $MSGFILE | $GREP "^PRN*" | sed 's/\:/ /g' while read linein do set $linein $PRN_NAME=$1 $PRN_VALUE=$2 <Whatever you want to do with values $PRN_NAME and $PRN_VALUE> done I think that there is a way for Hobbit to send the script the output of the test message, I just don't recall what that is. If it does in fact send the output of the test message, which would have all of your data:value pairs, then just replace the $MSGFILE variable with whatever the variable is that sends the data. Then within the "while" statement enter in process that you wish to execute with each line pair. This while process will basically go line by line through the $MSGFILE looking for lines that begin with PRN. It will replace the ":" with a blank space so that it can be pulled apart later. I am trying to write this from memory so there may be a bit of troubleshooting left to do, but it should get you close on how to use a loop to break apart and take action on some basic information.

The host which send the data to hobbit does not have a fixed number of name:values but maximum of 30 If I trigger the script with hobbd_rrd nothing is happening and the CPU utilisation is growing up to 90% Around 25 hosts have the test "printq" running. #!/bin/sh # Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile HOSTNAME="$1" TESTNAME="$2" FNAME="$3" index=0 if [ "$TESTNAME" = "printq" ] then # For test purpose looping fixed number of times. while [ $index -lt 30 ] do p[index]=`grep "^PRN*:" $FNAME | awk '{print $2}'` # The RRD dataset definitions echo "DS:$index:GAUGE:600:0:U" # The filename echo "printq.$index.rrd" #The data echo ${p[index]} let index=$index+1 #exit the loop when the value of $p{[index]} is null if [ $p{[index]} -eq "" ] then exit fi done fi exit 0 Regards Subhash -----Original Message----- From: Hubbard, Greg L [mailto:greg.hubbard at eds.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:37 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] CUSTOM RRD DATA VIA SCRIPTS Well, it does not appear to be that difficult. For each data element, you need to put out the DS line, then the file name, then the values. Make the file name match the element. So, if F070 = 1, F001 = 2, F037 = 5 "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F070.rrd" "1" "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F001.rrd" "2" "DS:value:GAUGE:600:0:U" "F037.rrd" "5" The Hobbit RRD support will do the right thing, creating these datasets in the directory for the associated host. Then, in the Hobbit graph definition, you have to figure out how to use the wildcard mechanism to find all the F*.rrd files. The file names can be used to replace the parameter value "value" in the dataset would become F070, F001, F037, etc. This seems to be how the disk magic works. Good luck!

Hobbit 4.1.2p1 no graphs
by trotunda＠opushealthcare.com 17 Mar '06

I installed Hobbit 4.1.2p1 on a different machine and now I can't get graphs. The only error I get is in my http log and is: Premature end of script headers: hobbitgraph.sh I have rrd files that are being updated on schedule. I have no errors in any Hobbit log files. Everything looks fine, I just don't get any graphs at all. I am running rrdtool 1.2.6 on an HPUX 11.23 Integrity (Itainium 2) machine and although it wasn't easy to build the apps, I they did eventually build and install. I built them in order, with Hobbit being the last app to build and install. Any suggestions? Tim
