Works really good ... Also the hobbitfetch patch is working well... I'm having a little problem with the enable-disable page Called inside the info page i get a web page http://itromlx10/hobbit-seccgi/(null) And the error Not Found The requested URL /hobbit-seccgi/(null) was not found on this server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Apache/2.0.55 (Red Hat) Server at itromlx10 Port 80 If called from a page to disable multiple time i get and internal server error > -----Original Message----- > From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] > Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 10:42 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Re: [hobbit] Duplicate tests listed in Info column > > On Mon, Aug 14, 2006 at 10:37:22PM +0200, Francesco Duranti wrote: > > I'm getting the same problem on some hosts... > > This is the output of the 2 commands.... > > [bb at ITROMLX10 etc]$ bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard > > fields=hostname,testname,color,client host=itromlx10" > > itromlx10|trends|green|Y > > itromlx101|trends|green|Y > > itromlx102|trends|green|Y > > OK, that is what I expected - you're seeing multiple entries > because "itromlx10" also matches "itromlx101" and "itromlx102". > > This patch should take care of it, then. > > > Regards, > Henrik > >

Duplicate tests listed in Info column
by jonescr＠cisco.com 14 Aug '06

When I go to the info column of certain hosts (it doesn't seem to be affecting them all), the "Disable tests" window has duplicate tests. Some hosts have as many as 9 ecah of conn, cpu, disk, etc. I do not have any hosts listed twice in bb-hosts, so Im not sure what could be causing this.

Pulldata problems
by fduranti＠q8.it 14 Aug '06

Hi, I don't know if this is a bug report or just a work as intended with whom I've some problems.. I'm start using msgcache and pulldata, I've all of my hosts in the bb-hosts file with 0.0.0.0 ip address so that I can define the ip in the /etc/hosts and use it for every application that need it. I've 2 hosts with pulldata defined as: 0.0.0.0 itromwb13 # pulldata and when hobbitfetch try to get the data it will try to use 0.0.0.0:1984 instead of resolving and using the hostname. It's possible to have the pulldata=ip:port accept also hostname or better than this if the ip address is 0.0.0.0 use the hostname defined in the bb-hosts instead of the ip address? Thanks

bb hostname.testname "until OK"?
by kolbjorn.barmen＠uninett.no 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

The man bb page says: disable HOSTNAME.TESTNAME DURATION <additional text> Disables a specific test for DURATION minutes. This will cause the status of this test to be listed as "blue" on the BBDISPLAY server, and no alerts for this host/test will be generated. If DURATION is given as a number followed by s/m/h/d, it is inter- preted as being in seconds/minutes/hours/days respectively. To disable all tests for a host, use an asterisk "*" for TESTNAME. So how do I disable "until OK" from the bb command? PS: congrats with the release.. cheers, cheers! :) -- Kolbjørn Barmen UNINETT Driftsenter

Enable/Disable propogation
by matthew.epp＠us.army.mil 14 Aug '06

How does Hobbit handle the disabling of tests in a multi-DISPLAY server environment? Typically in the legacy Big Brother environment, I had to either disable test on each display server, or just tell people to ignore alerts on the satellite DISPLAYs and only pay attention to the main server where I would actually "blue" things out. Ultimately I would like to have an accurate view on each DISPLAY, but this would involve somehow propogating a disable command down the line. So I guess the real question is, if I disable alerts on Satellite DISPLAY A (running Hobbit right now), will that alert then start showing up as purple on Main DISPLAY (running Big Brother), unless I disable it there as well? I plan to eventually migrate all of the displays to Hobbit, but that won't happen all at once.

[hobbit] Pulldata problems

Another little problem... If I define the pulldata=IP:Port without an IP it will use 0.0.0.0 as the IP address to get data from also if i defined the host with the IP Address: 10.1.1.1 machine #pulldata=:1985 Hobbitfetch will try to contact 0.0.0.0:1985 instead of 10.1.1.1:1985 > -----Original Message----- > From: Francesco Duranti [mailto:fduranti at q8.it] > Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 5:46 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] Pulldata problems > > Hi, I don't know if this is a bug report or just a work as > intended with whom I've some problems.. > > I'm start using msgcache and pulldata, I've all of my hosts > in the bb-hosts file with 0.0.0.0 ip address so that I can > define the ip in the /etc/hosts and use it for every > application that need it. > > I've 2 hosts with pulldata defined as: > 0.0.0.0 itromwb13 # pulldata > > and when hobbitfetch try to get the data it will try to use > 0.0.0.0:1984 instead of resolving and using the hostname. > It's possible to have the pulldata=ip:port accept also > hostname or better than this if the ip address is 0.0.0.0 use > the hostname defined in the bb-hosts instead of the ip address? > > > Thanks > > To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to > hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk > > >

Upgrade to 4.2.0, conn all read
by matt＠oddprocess.org 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

I just upgraded my main hobbit server to the new 4.2.0 and now all of the conn tests go red. I have manually tested the fping command and that does work. There are no logs created other then hobbitlaunch.log and that doesn't have anything about the failure. 4.1.2pl2 worked fine and nothing was changed from when it was upgraded.

Disable client test from running.
by steve.aiello＠ge.com 14 Aug '06

Is it possible to configure what tests a client run ? i.e. I have a custom disk test that some systems run, can I disable a hobbit client from running the default disk test ?
