Just an FYI to all, Today we went to grab the latest snapshot for testing, and lo and behold, the site was blocked by websense :-(. We had our security guys look into it, and websense added the site today under the "personal sites" category. How irritating.

[hobbit] nopropred wildcards for hostname?
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Here's the 'defaults' line from my technical sandbox page: 0.0.0.0 .default. # NOPROPRED:* NOPROPYELLOW:* nobb2 LARRD:*,netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3,vmstat:vmstat0|vmsta t|vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat8 You won't quite get what you want -- the color dot on the main display will be green, no matter how ugly the sub-page looks because that's the way 'noprop' works. The 'nobb2' tag keeps these from showing up on the 'non-green' page as well.

I'm using the bb-host "page" option to have seperate pages for Dev, Stage, and Prod environments. I want to use "nopropred" to keep alerts for the Stage and Dev hosts from setting the main page red (it's not enough to tell people to only use the NKView).

bb-services feature request(s)
by jonescr＠cisco.com 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

1. It would be useful if you could use an EXEC keyword in bb-services, which would execute a shell script or program, which you could then parse the output. This could be easier than having a server-side external script in some cases, and could also be used to handle difficult to check services, so you don't have to use arcade methods like the one used to check oratns (see bb-services [oratns] entry) . It would be assumed that if EXEC is used, no port number needs to be defined. For example: [pgpool] exec '/usr/bin/psql -U postgres -h dbpool -c "show pool_status" template1' expect "replication_enabled | 1" 2. It would be nice if we could define multiple expect statements, and that it didn't matter where in the output the strings were. For example: [pgpool] exec '/usr/bin/psql -U postgres -h dbpool -c "show pool_status" template1' expect "replication_enabled | 1" expect "server_status | master(192.168.0.200 on 5432) up secondary(192.168.0.201 on 5432) up |" 3. It would be handy if we could use regular expressions in expect strings. 4. It would be cool if you could use an option to either show only the lines that matched "expect", or highlight them (bold?) For example: [pgpool] exec '/usr/bin/psql -U postgres -h dbpool -c "show pool_status" template1' expect "replication_enabled | 1" expect "server_status | master(192.168.0.200 on 5432) up secondary(192.168.0.201 on 5432) up |" options banner,highlight or [pgpool] exec '/usr/bin/psql -U postgres -h dbpool -c "show pool_status" template1' expect "replication_enabled | 1" expect "server_status | master(192.168.0.200 on 5432) up secondary(192.168.0.201 on 5432) up |" options showmatch Just some ideas :-) -Charles

[hobbit] Client Dies HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 with no error

Thanks this really helped! Come to find out the processes were being terminated. I asked the admins, and come to find out they had some scripts that killed "Orphaned" processes. They made modifications to the script, and now I am golden.

[hobbit] Client Dies HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 with no error

It happened again. I tried adjusting the vmstat from 300 to 290 just as a guess, but no luck. I cannot find any cores, any logs anything that indicates anything going on. Is there some sort of debug mode I can turn on or tracing I can do to figure out why it is dying? -----Original Message----- From: Camp Neil (QNA Information Technology External) Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 7:08 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] Client Dies HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 with no error Nothing strange in the logs dir. The clientlaunch.log file shows that it is starting and loading the tasklist. Hobbitlaunch is not running. Yes, msg.txt exists but it does not have the hostname as part of the filename. Running the "bb" command does produce a usage message. This is so strange. It will startup with no problems, but after 5-15 minutes (not sure) it just completely dies. :-( -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:03 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Client Dies HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 with no error On Tue, Jun 13, 2006 at 12:47:43PM -0400, Camp.external at qimonda.com wrote: > > I am currently using 4.1.2p1.

First, check for strange stuff in the ~hobbit/client/logs/* files. Is hobbitlaunch running ? Is the file ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.HOSTNAME.txt generated ? This is the first step, where data is collected and packed into a client message. Finally, check if the "bb" utility in ~hobbit/client/bin/bb works. Just try to run it - it should print out a usage message.

[hobbit] hobbit install under debian sarge?
by Todd.Costa＠state.ma.us 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hi Dan, I have been using Debian Sarge and Hobbit 4.1.2p1 successfully since last November. I used the default install for sarge and added the apache2 components during the build of the debian system. Then I needed to apt-get install the RRDTOOL, fping packages. Added the hobbit user, downloaded the hobbit-*.deb and installed that. Then had hobbit running at a base level before I mod'd the settings to get what I wanted. I thought it worked really well and no source grinding was needed. On another note, if you install the desktop components and use synaptic you can search the package db for all the components required. And like I said I only had to manually add 3 pieces after the initial install of debian for the hobbit server. Of course I added other tools to function like I want but minimally its doable from deb packages instead of trying to compile from source. Yet if that's how you want to do it, that's cool too. Look at the Debian Maintainers guide for the required packages needed to successfully grind with source. Of course there are other places to refer to for what is best but that's your choice. That's what I like about Debian, it is pretty much everything you need without alot of trouble IMHO, aside from the research. A few commands or clicks. Bang, you off and running. Good Luck.

Has anyone gotten hobbit to install under vanilla sarge? I had to upgrade a previous machine to testing in order to get it to work, but I thought that was because of my port from ubuntu. I've tried both the 4.2 alfa and beta snapshots, and can't get either to build. They both fail here: hecking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [c-ares/Makefile] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/hobbit-4.2-alfa-20060423/bbnet' make: *** [bbnet-build] Error 2 I do have cpp installed, so I'm not sure why it fails the sanity check. I also tried the .deb version of the beta. Once I located all the config files :), I got hobbit to start, but it didn't like the version of the ssl libraries and was punting on other things. Thanks. Dan
