hobbit log monitor
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 05 Apr '06

Hi all, Just finished my Hobbit log monitor; thought I'd share it all with you. Since the hobbit-client currently doesn't support the msgs test, I wrote this to eliminate the need for the old bb client. You can download it, along with my other Hobbit/BB tools from: http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/bbtools Let me know if it blows up on you, or anything. Cheers, -Eric Schwimmer Network Engineer UVA HSCS Network Engineering

some fs graphs are not showing up...
by thomas.seglard.enata＠cnp.fr 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hello, recently, I see that some of my fs are not graph under the disk test. I got a lot of these filesystems and hobbit split them up into graphs with 3 or 4 or 5 fs on them. Everything should go fine but 1 or 2 graphs are generally missing and a line with "hobbit graph disk" appears. So, my questions are : 1) Why number of fs by graph are not the same from one machine to another ? 2) Why some graphs are not showing up on disk test page ? I'm running hobbit 4.1.2p1.

problems on server
by longina＠imada.sdu.dk 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

I have some problems with hobbitd_client on server (sparc/solaris9). 1. hobbit client wouldn't launch from hobbit server's hobbitlaunch- I got "fatal signal caught, treminating with code 134". I tried to start it from init.d insted of - from client's hobbitlaunch and it works. On the display, hobbitd_client stays blinking red. How can I get rid of that? 2. bbd is constantly PURPLE In bb-services, it is defined as: [bbd] send "dummy" port 1984 so in fact it tests hobbitd-but why it is purple? Hobbitd is OK.

Monitoring a laptop
by david＠stenhouseconsulting.com 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

I was thinking of monitoring employee laptops, and maybe even desktops, with hobbit. I added a group to my hosts file with the DIAL tag, created a line in the hosts file 0.0.0.0 mylaptop.mydomain.local # noping. I then installed a client on the laptop and just set it to monitor the basics (CPU, Disk, Memory). I then shut down the laptop and took it home. Thirty minutes later I checked my hobbit pages from my home desktop and saw that the status of the client was set to purple. I obviously misunderstood the functionality of the DIALUP tag. Is it possible to monitor a device that would only check in a couple of times a day? I know I could set specific alerts thresholds for the laptop, but was hoping there might be a "universal" solution.
