4.2.0 doesn't graph raid volume
by matt＠oddprocess.org 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

The subject says it all. I just created a 3 drive RAID5 array using software raid and mdadm. Everything is working fine, and hobbit even displays the raid disk space stats, but doesn't seem to graph it. hobbit also graphs a drive mount that is no longer there. Here is the url: http://tinyurl.com/rnd9e -- Matthew Daubenspeck http://www.oddprocess.org Gentoo Linux x86_64 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165 13:32:14 up 106 days, 22:16, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00

More about linecount
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Well, now I know how linecount works. I was hoping that it would let me track the number of lines in a file and spot changes over time. But this is not what line count is for -- it is intended to match some arbitrary subset of lines in a file, and then this is tracked via RRD as a "derived" value, meaning what is graphed is how the count changes over time, scaled into units per second. This is perfect if you want to watch the rate of login failures on your system, but not very useful for what I wanted. So I will monitor changes in file size (which might show me changes), but cannot readily translate this into a line count. So, an enhancement request -- add a "line count" as a file parameter, in addition to all the normal things that are available now? GLH

Just put in your [default] section or under the [storage] section of your netapp.ini this one and it will not check those columns (it's valid for all columns). bbuserquotacolumn = quotas:notest bbcifscolumn = cifs:notest If you want data to be reported silently without having a column just to create a graph in the trend you can also do: bbopscolumn = ops:data bbstatscolumn = stats:data And those columns will be sent as data and not showed in the hobbit web pages (but the data will still go in the rrd and will be graphed in the trends column).

[hobbit] Remedy Ticketing

> I'm slightly confused about what you did.

In the old Big Brother system, $BBVAR/logs contained a file for every current status page. So, in the dohostsvc.c I did: logtime = (char *) getenv("LOGTIME"); Then the cgi script checked to see if it was a current page or a historical one: ($TIMEBUF is the value of logtime passed to the cgi script) if [ "$TIMEBUF" != "LOGTIME_not_set" ]; then HOSTLOG=`echo $HOST | $SED 's/,/_/g'` # get the color of the status from the status file set `$CAT "$BBHISTLOGS/$HOSTLOG/$SERVICE/$TIMEBUF" | $HEAD -1` >/dev/null 2>&1 BKG="$1" # Grab the status page from histlogs ALERTDATA=`$CAT $BBHISTLOGS/$HOSTLOG/$SERVICE/$TIMEBUF` else # Grab the current status page set `$CAT "$BBLOGS/$HOSTSVC" | $HEAD -1` >/dev/null 2>&1 BKG="$1" ALERTDATA=`$CAT $BBLOGS/$HOSTSVC` fi > On the other hand, a *historical* status log page doesn't have a > "History" button because ... well, you're already looking at history. > > If you can work it out yourself, then you probably need the "logtime" > parameter for the generate_html_log() routine.

Does a current status page get saved anywhere to a file in Hobbit like Big Brother did? I need some way to pass the data to the cgi script for parsing.

Could you check that this server is well installed with BBWin 0.8 ? there were a memory leak on the older BBWin releases but BBWin 0.8 should be ok. Could you post your BBWin.cfg file and tell me what Windows version are you using ? Sometimes BBWin may need more memory when a lot of events logs are send to the hobbit server. On my test servers, I run BBWin with a timer of 5 seconds (so it simulates many weeks of monitoring with a few days) for each agent so I can check if memory is growing. It never goes over 7 Mb. As Rich said, me be try some times to run without the perl externals even if it should never take memory in the BBWin process itselft.

hobbit-clients.cfg
by tlp-hobbit＠holme-pedersen.dk 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

Hi ! I am having a hard time configuring any check on my 4.2.p1 system. Anyway I turn it I can never get more hosts to match the same HOST definition even if I have to servers called server1 and server2 I put a HOST=%host*.domain.com but it will not match. Only way is to make HOST=server1.domain.com and HOST=server2.domain.com How can this be ? its a very simple setup. Anyway I am configuring a new host with PROC settings but I can never get the web page to display my settings. Should hobbit be restarted completly after changing the hobbit-clients.cfg filer ? how can I test the file settings ? BR Thomas

Memory usage BBWIn 0.8

Hello, Since the release of BBwin 0.8 i installed it on a couple of our Windows 2003 servers as a replacement for the BB Client. On one of the machines i noticed that the memory usage of the BBWin.exe process keeps growing. After appr. 2 weeks it was over the 60Mb. I restarted the service, but after a few days it's back over the 20Mb. The client checks a few svcs and runs 5 external tests (compiled perl scripts). Any idea what can cause the problem?

Most of my new hobbit installation (Solaris 9) has come up fine, but I can't click through any of the colored icons. The error from Apache error_log is: [Thu Aug 24 15:25:22 2006] [error] [client 145.36.246.222] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/hobbit/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh ld.so.1: /usr/local/bb/bb1.9i-btf/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi: fatal: libpcre.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory There were no pcre errors during the build process. I used the "-R/usr/local/lib" trick mentioned in the "known problems" page, and the user "hobbit" has the directory in its library path. Perhaps there is some special place where I'll need to manually add a reference to the PCRE libraries?

HOWTO: fping using profiles(pfexec) Solaris10

There are 3 files that need to be updated so that fping can be executed as root (uid=0) on Solaris by a named user, in this case the hobbit user. The three files in question are, /etc/user_attr /etc/security/exec_attr /etc/security/prof_attr These have been updated with the following lines /etc/user_attr hobbit::::profiles=Hobbit Commands /etc/security/exec_attr Hobbit Commands:solaris:cmd:::/usr/local/sbin/fping:uid=0 /etc/security/prof_attr Hobbit Commands:::Hobbit Commands: Regards, Mike Rowell ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs service. ________________________________________________________________________
