PROC test question
by marco.pizzoli＠gmail.com 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi all, I am a hobbit newby. I have a question about the PROC test: is there a way to define a test about the presence of a particular proc executed by a particular user? I'm in a situation where I have some daemons that could be started by a lot of (machine)users and so I would like to check the user the proc run as. Thanks in advance Marco

cupsd

For those who want to monitor a cups print server, here's a definition you can put in your bb-services file: [cupsd] send "GET /printers\r\n" expect "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" port 631 Alternatively, you could just use http://host:631/printers in your bb-hosts file. The cupsd is, for monitoring purposes, a web server. -Jeff "Fun with Users #1: ln -s /dev/random /etc/motd"

Client for NetApp storage and Weblogic Server
by fduranti＠q8.it 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi all, I'm currently developing 3 perl client to use with Network appliance Storage, Weblogic Servers and Database (SQL/Oracle/Informix and Mysql). At this moment only the weblogic and netapp scripts are available, the database check for Oracle/Informix and with connection check to sqlserver will be probably available the next week. I uploaded the scripts to deadcat but i got some problems downloading them so I've also created a project on sourceforge and I'm uploading the scripts there (and I will also try to create a mailing list so that if users have the need to contact me they can do that there). The homepage on sourceforge is http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/ <BLOCKED::http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/> Thanks and sorry for the advertise but this seems the better place to let users know about hobbit clients available :D Regards Francesco Duranti

Email alert based on specific process
by iqbala-hobbit＠qwestip.net 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi All I am using bb-proctab to monitor a list of processes and if any process a whole group get alert. Is there a way I can setup the alert with process specific. So if proc 1 out the list dies only user 1 get alert and so on. I know I could use the SCRIPT feature but like to keep that as the last resort. I am using hobbit 4.1.2 on Solaris 8. The process list I am concern about is running bb1.9c client on Solaris 8 as well. Sorry if it were already discussed in the mailing list.

Monitoring Solaris 10 zones
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

All, We're just putting some zones into a production environment and as yet we don't have a way to monitor them, we could stick the client inside the zone but I feel that is a waste of resources, so, I have come up with a solution. I have an ext script that queries zoneadm list to get the list of currently running zones (except global) then run zlogin with various commands to pull out pretty much what the hobbitclient-sunos.sh script would do, then send it off to the hobbit server. It requires the hobbit user be put in /etc/user_attr so hobbit can login as zone admin on any zone, but works well. I havn't put some of the stuff into it though, mainly because the way we run zones here they will only ever be mounting local filesystems and as such the disk checks will be managed under the global zone. So if anyone would like a copy of the quick and dirty hack, drop me a mail.

[hobbit] building bbproxy

That is exactly what I did. The C compiler is gcc version 3.3.2. When the bbproxy binary is ftp'd to the Solaris 10 machine is says "cannot execute" and the file command on bbproxy returns data.

Hobbit client, exempt disks?
by Jason.Chambers＠geosoft.com 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Erm, how do you exempt disks from being detected in the client? Its detected the network mount (a backup drive) as a disk and is logging it! I don't think I need that level of redundancy in detection. *smirk* Jason Chambers IT Helpdesk Support <http://www.geosoft.com/20> eosoft Inc. 85 Richmond St. West - 8th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2C9 Tel: 416-369-0111 x344 Fax: 416-369-9599 www.geosoft.com

Question about CLASS= & classname
by steve.aiello＠ge.com 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Per the hobbit-clients.cfg documentation I read the following: CLASS=classname Rule match by the client class-name. You specify the class-name for a host when starting the client through the "--class=NAME" option to the runclient.sh script. If no class is specified, the host by default goes into a class named by the operating system. My questions: The default classname setting of the operating system, which value is it ? When I look at the client data of a host I see the following: [uname] Linux serverName 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686 [osversion] Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Is the default value of classname set to [uname] or [osversion]. Also is it the full name ? If so do I define my CLASS="Linux serverName 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686" ? Can regular expresion be used, CLASS=%Linux.* ? Can a host be defined to more than one class, i.e. 1.2.3.4 serverName # ssh CLASS:Linux CLASS:webServer If a host can have more than one class definition, what happens when you get CLASS configuration parameter collision ? Also, it may bee helpful to have the Info report show which class the device falls under. Thank you, Steve
