Confreport Question
by allan＠zandahar.net 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

Hi all, Just been looking at the confreport for some hosts and noticed that it doesnt show that there are any port or proc tests and also shows the default disk and cpu limits instead of the ones set for the particular host. I know these other values are correct and working as one of them has a massive drive array thats on 97% but still has a huge chunk of space free and its still green as the limit is 98 and 99. Question is basically...should the custom value be shown here or not ? If theyre not then maybe they can be ? <--insert groveling to Henrik here If they should display...then plz help!! :) Thanks Allan

I'm having a problem with the hobbit-clients.cfg matching.

conn test periodically fails (fping execution code 99)
by bernie9998＠gmail.com 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I am having some trouble with the hobbit monitoring server. While at first, it seemed to be functioning fine, a few minutes later, the conn test failed across the board, and I received a yellow warning under the bbtest column. The actual error message under the bbtest details stated: Error output: Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 99 fping invocation failed: No such file or directory This is really weird, as the output of 'ls -l /usr/sbin/fping' shows that it is in fact there, and all have permissions to execute it: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 23600 Jun 2 2005 /usr/sbin/fping Not to mention that this problem seems to be periodic, and not continual. The test will fail about every 3-5 minutes and then succeed about another 3-5 minutes later, only the repeat the process again. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm running this on Fedora Core 2, hobbit version 4.1.2p1-1. Thanks in advance for your assistance. -Brian

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, at the moment we use BB as our primary server and we use Hobbit too but only as a display server for our customer. So if we disable a service or machine on BB the customer still sees the red,yellow or purple dots. Is there a way to send the data to the Hobbit server too? Maybe we can use: http://hobbitusr:hobbitpwd at hobbitserver/hobbit-seccgi/hobbit-enadis.sh?server=XXX&service=YYY in our enable/disable script we're using for BB to send the data to Hobbit?

LDAP Query - Base DN with spaces
by allan＠zandahar.net 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

We have been given an LDAP server to host for someone to use as a directory for another application and would like to do some tests on querying users and the response time rather than just testing that port 389 or 636 responds however the base dn has a space in it. I thought about putting it inside quotes but then wasnt sure how much of the string to put into quotes. Also the server requires a bind user name and password there is no anonymous, and 99.9% of the user names also have a space, in this case "ldap manager" Any suggestions would be welcome Cheers guys Allan
