on the hobbit server, go into the bin directory ./bb localhost "drop server service" --Pat _____ From: Frank M. Ramaekers [mailto:FRamaekers at ailife.com] Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 3:19 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Removing Purple from display I have some events/services that I have since stopped monitoring (removed from bb-hosts) and they are still showing up as purple. How can I remove the entry from the display (so that it will show a dash again). Thanks, Frank M.

Hobbit client discovery
by TIM.EVANS＠jpmchase.com 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to answer all these posts. I am running hobbit version 4.1.2. I recently compiled and began running it on an aix server along with a few clients. Is there a way to tell from the hobbit server if a hobbit client is running on a server that is not in bb-hosts which needs to be added? I was looking for a way to check if clients need to be added to bb-hosts from the hobbit server rather than waiting for another SA to tell me. I have searched through the archives and everything seems to point to adding the entry beforehand. Thanks, Tim

Server Redundancy
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

I know this has probably been mentioned somewhere but I've got a major mental blocking on after debugging sh/perl and php all day. How to you guys do redundancy, checking your primary server doesn't fail. I assume you've just got another hobbit server checking your hobbit server, however what I would like to do is have it setup with some ext scripts say that check and if the server has died automagically set the alerting to the redundant server and start alerting. Anyway I'm sure there is something about this somewhere.

msgs column match-pattern
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 24 Apr '06

Hi In hobbit-client.cfg we tried following rule: LOG %.* WARNING yellow But messages with "WARNING" never trigger a yellow status. When we put a regexp like this: LOG %.* %WARNING yellow Messages with "WARNING" AND "warning" (small caps) trigger a yellow status Is this the expected behaviour? Dominique

netstat -s output for hpux 11.11 (11i)

What I'm after right now is statistics about the physical network interfaces - how many bytes have been received and transmitted through the Ethernet network-card. >From the public man-pages, it seems this might be the "netstat -in" command. What output does that give on HP-UX ? (I'd like the same info for Darwin, but I don't know what commands you must use. If it's like the *BSD systems, perhaps "netstat -i -b -n" ?) Regards, Henrik

Adding local module to monitoring server
by matthew＠familycampground.org 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I can add additional modules until I turn blue in the face to my clients. But for some reason I can't add local modules to the hobbitd server. Is the process different? I did the following: 1 - Add the script to /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext 2 - Add the module defination to /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg For example this is what I have for one: [exim] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/exim.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/exim.log INTERVAL 5m The log file gets created, but thats as far as it goes. There's an echo statement in that script that should show up in the log file, but it never makes it. None of the other modules defined in clientlaunch.cfg get created. Then do a reload just to make sure it took. Well, its not taking. No errors are being thrown as far as I can see. What'd I miss? -- Matthew Davis http://familycampground.org/matthew/

External clients

How are people handling external, non secure clients? I have a few clients that I would like to load the client onto but can't seem to find any information on setting up encryption or some sort of authentication. Any ideas? -- Matthew Daubenspeck http://www.oddprocess.org Gentoo Linux 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165 18:47:50 up 1 day, 41 min, 1 user, load average: 0.26, 0.28, 0.13

hobbitclient stopped reporting
by longina＠imada.sdu.dk 22 Apr '06

22 Apr '06

After server reboot hobbitclient stopped reported and turned PURPLE. Hobbitclientd is running properly and is gathering data in tmp. It is not name related problem - in bb-hosts there is full qualified name and CLIENT:nodename. Before rebootstraping there was YELLOW status on disk monitoring. I really can't see in logs any help to explain the problem. It is rather important to get it up again - it is very important server. regards Longina -- Longina Przybyszewska, system programmer Dept. of Math. & Comp.

netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory
by toaster＠imber.com 22 Apr '06

While debugging some custom scripts, I found that 3 of my boxes have large hobbitclient.log files. They contain the same messages: netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory netstat: sysctl: net.inet.tcp.stats: Cannot allocate memory All three boxen are FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. All three are 4.1.2p1. Do I need to enable this in sysctl.conf? Thanks, Lee
