hobbitclient on solaris: using iostat for cpu stat
by grossi＠acantho.net 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi Henrik, I have seen that hobbit clients collects cpu stats via vmstat, now i think that the cpu information provided by "iostat -c" is more accurate, because it has the "%waiting for i/o" columns, wich is also in the linux version of vmstat. do you think you can add this information? -- Gianluca

All, Every now and then, all of my hosts go red on conn and fail, then come right back up. Below is and excerpt from bb-network.log. As you can see, it's at no set time, no set date, it just plain fails. Any thoughts? 2006-03-06 23:20:29 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 98 2006-03-06 23:20:29 Cannot open fping output file /usr/local/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.17520 2006-03-24 02:51:27 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 98 2006-03-24 02:51:27 Cannot open fping output file /usr/local/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.17576 2006-04-15 18:24:31 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 98 2006-04-15 18:24:31 Cannot open fping output file /usr/local/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.18026 2006-04-27 18:48:05 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 98 2006-04-27 18:48:05 Cannot open fping output file /usr/local/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.17520 2006-05-04 17:14:08 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 98 2006-05-04 17:14:08 Cannot open fping output file /usr/local/hobbit/server/tmp/fping-stdout.18026 -Jeff

Testing PPTP connection

Is it possible to test a PPTP connection from within hobbit. I am currently testing the firewalls with ICMP, but that does not always correspond to being able to establish a VPN connection. I need to be able to pass username, password, and domain. David Gilmore Consultant Stenhouse Consulting, LLC. 4 Traverse St Providence, RI 02906 401.453.6900 x12 401.454.7581 (fax)
