[hobbit] Still no ghostlist

Henrik: The BBDISP setting is the true IP address of my hobbit server. BBDISPLAYS is blank. And yes, if I modify hobbit-ghosts.sh as you outlined below, it now seems to work. An OK workaround for me for now, I hope you are able to figure out what the permanent fix is? Thanks! By the way, this is new behavior to me with the 4.2.0. release - my "ghostlist" display from the hobbit web page always used to work with no problems. --------------------------------------------------------- Kent C.

Should be CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS="--env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg" (adjusted for your hobbit homedir path). Also, what are your BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS settings? Does it work if you modify the ~hobbit/cgi-bin/hobbit-ghosts.sh script and add BBDISP="127.0.0.1 export BBDISP just before the "exec ..." line ?

# of filesystems displayed in "disk" column is 1, but 5 in trends column
by tomg＠mcclatchyinteractive.com 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

I feel like I've solved this problem before, but if so, I can't remember how. :) I'm using some modified versions of the filerstats2bb perl scripts to collect data from my netapp filers, and ever since my upgrade from 4.1.2p1 -> 4.2.0, I no longer have 5 filesystems/graph displayed in the graph under the disk column. I do have 5/graph in the graph under the trends column, though. Comparing the two URLs for the graph under the disk column, I see that "count=5" is included in 4.1.2p1, and "count=1" for 4.2. How is that value generated and passed to hobbitgraph.sh? Why is it different for the disk and trends columns? Tom

bb-histlog.sh
by cits.bogajewski＠daimlerchrysler.com 14 Aug '06

Hello hobbits, I've noticed some problems displaying logged event data using bb-histlog.sh (hobbitsvc.cgi --historical). I am running 4.2-RC-20060712 with the latest all-in-one patch applied. While some events can be displayed without problems, calling the historical data for some other produces apache 500 server error. apache error _log: bb-histlog.sh[6]: --no-pin: not found. [Thu Aug 03 13:57:50 2006] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Premature end of script headers: bb-histlog.sh, referer: http://myhost/hobbit-cgi/bb-hist.sh?HISTFILE=myhost.procs&ENTRIES=50&IP=xx.… bb-histlog.sh[6]: --no-pin: not found.

But is not my problem obviously. CGI_ACK_OPTS="--env=/opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg" --no-pin small bug :-) shift apostroph. Nothing in any hobbit logs. I cant notice any differences between those entries which can be displayed and those which cant. Never seen this also before using previous versions.

Someone noticed same behavior? Any tips for troubleshooting? Thanks Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely Anatoli Bogajewski

bits vs bytes

Was noticing in [ifstat] of hobbitgraph.cfg that the YAXIS states Bits/Second, but the DEF's mention bytes*. Was this a typo on the yaxis? -- Matthew Davis http://familycampground.org/matthew/

Problem with FILE check
by fduranti＠q8.it 13 Aug '06

13 Aug '06

I've just upgraded the server and some client and I'm trying to understand how to check for NFS mounted filesystem. At this moment I'm just manually creating a file in the directory and checking for it's existance. I think I'm just doing something wrong with the configuration because data seems to get to the hobbit server but I get green also if one of the file don't exist. I'm also checking for the automatic upgrade using the CLASS but it's not working... It could be very nice to have the CLASS for the client somewhere on the info page. I can see that at the end of the info page but it could be better to see it near the hobbitversion or OS release... What I have in the config file is: Client-local.cfg [servcluster] log:/var/log/messages:10240 ignore MARK file:/prodQ8/appl/mounted file:/collQ8/appl/mounted clientupdate:rhel3_2cpu_drbd Hobbit-clients.cfg CLASS=servcluster FILE /prodQ8/appl/mounted red FILE /collQ8/appl/mounted yellow This is the machine definition in the bb-hosts 0.0.0.0 itromlx101 # ntpd ntp ssh !telnet CLASS:servcluster 0.0.0.0 itromlx102 # ntpd ntp ssh !telnet CLASS:servcluster In server/download I've a file called rhel3_2cpu_drbd.tar with the file in the client/* directory I need to upgrade. The server and the clients are all updated to 4.2. This is what i get in the logfetch.hostname.cfg/status file in the tmp of one of the client... logfetch.ITROMLX101.cfg log:/var/log/messages:10240 ignore MARK file:/prodQ8/appl/mounted file:/collQ8/appl/mounted clientupdate:rhel3_2cpu_drbd logfetch.ITROMLX101.status /var/log/messages:676:676:676:676:676:676:676 This is what i get in the client data of one of the client [file:/collQ8/appl/mounted] ERROR: No such file or directory [file:/prodQ8/appl/mounted] type:100000 (file) mode:444 (-r--r--r--) linkcount:1 owner:49928 (bb) group:49928 (bb) size:53 clock:1155495338 (2006/08/13-20:55:38) atime:1155490423 (2006/08/13-19:33:43) ctime:1155490416 (2006/08/13-19:33:36) mtime:1155490407 (2006/08/13-19:33:27) [msgs:/var/log/messages] [logfile:/var/log/messages] type:100000 (file) mode:640 (-rw-r-----) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:49928 (bb) size:676 clock:1155495338 (2006/08/13-20:55:38) atime:1155495338 (2006/08/13-20:55:38) ctime:1155493777 (2006/08/13-20:29:37) mtime:1155493777 (2006/08/13-20:29:37) [clientversion] [clock] epoch: 1155495338.084336 local: 2006-08-13 20:55:38 CEST UTC: 2006-08-13 18:55:38 GMT Someone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong with the configuration?

BBWin 0.8 - log time error
by rob.macgregor＠gmail.com 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

I'm pretty sure it's been there with older releases too (certainly 0.6), but the reporting time is only ever using a 12 hour clock in 24 hour format. For instance: 2006-Aug-12 17:39:20 [fire] yellow syst: warning - 2006/08/12 05:26:30 The actual time the event was logged on the host was 17:26. Obviously, this can get a little confusing :) The host in question is running XP SP2 and is currently reporting to a Hobbit 4.2 system, though I saw the same problem with Hobbit 4.1. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.

Is this the way it > is supposed to work. Hmm, no - that doesn't seem right. The culprit is the web/bb-ack.c line 257: sprintf(cmd + strlen(cmd), " page=^%s$", pagename); That's a regular expression for matching the pagename. It should probably just have the '$' at the end removed, so it becomes sprintf(cmd + strlen(cmd), " page=^%s", pagename); Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Running external tests for multiple hosts

I have a large number of devices I would like to query via SNMP. I have multiple items per device that I would like graphed. What is the easiest way to go about this. Are there example scripts out there? Should I use bbhostgrep? -- Stewart Larsen

Converting NK entries to the new Critical Systems
by rob.macgregor＠gmail.com 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Wanting to avoid manually migrating all my NK hosts/services to the new Critical Systems I've put together a little (420 byte) shell script to do a quick 'n' dirty conversion (it does leave the NK entries in bb-hosts though). Admittedly it took me about the same amount of time as re-entering them all, but hey :) If anybody else wants it then I'll post it to the list. -- Please keep list traffic on the list.
