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
by stoner-lists＠comcast.net 04 Jun '08

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 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '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] No more than 4 disk graphs?
by jonescr＠cisco.com 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Kent, I'm currently graphing some systems that have more FS than that (over 30). I wanted to consolidate more filesystems per graph, so with Henriks guidance, I edited the GRAPHS section of hobbitgraph.cgi, and changed "disk" to "disk::10". This gives me 10 filesystems per graph, which may perhaps also be keeping me from going past some unknown graph limit that you have experienced, although I don't recall having your issue when I did not have them consolidated...I just didn't like having so many graphs. Hope this helps, -Charles * /From/: "Brodie, Kent" <brodie (at) mcw.edu> * /Date/: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 09:15:37 -0500 * /Thread-index/: AcayUEyMzcfQ7y9DQ2+nuOWN6qVG6Q== * /Thread-topic/: No more than 4 disk graphs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have one system that has a ton of file systems - 17 to be exact. In hobbit, each disk graph shows 4 filesystems. I only ever get 4 graphs, with the last image only a broken image link to "hobbit graph". The 17th file system never gets graphed. When I unmounted one of them as a test, I got exactly 4 graphs, all clean. Is there some internal limit to the number of disk file systems that can be graphed?

[hobbit] Host Notes
by jonescr＠cisco.com 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Henrik, Forgive me, as I am not thinking clearly today (it is Monday afterall). You give a patch for bb-webpage.c, but I am unclear as to whether I am supposed to replace the orig bb-webpage with this new one, or rename patched version to "hostnotes", and craft a "hostnotes.sh" to go in the cgi directory that calls it? I understand that using the header and footer file will give the notes the standard hobbit look, which will be nice. Please tell me again in different terms how I should do this (or maybe I should just read it tommorrow when I'm thinking better haha). Thanks, -Charles On Thu, Jul 27, 2006 at 07:05:04PM -0700, Charles Jones wrote: > Do you plan on adding a cgi to enable live editing of "notes" > (www/notes/hostname) files?

Here's a simple solution for viewing the host notes, using mostly the tools you already have: * a notes_header and notes_footer file, mostly cloned from the existing bb_header and bb_footer files. These go in your ~hobbit/server/web/ directory. * a simple CGI using the bb_webpage utility. This goes in your ~hobbit/cgi-bin/ directory. Testing this revealed a bug in bb_webpage, so there's a patch for it as well. To use this, add "--docurl=$CGIBINURL/hostnotes.sh?HOST=%s" to BBGENOPTS in hobbitserver.c and restart Hobbit. The CGI shell-script currently looks only for files named .../notes/HOSTNAME - you can probably figure out how to change this if you want to look for HOSTNAME.html, HOSTNAME.txt or whatever you like.
