BBWin configuration gui
by pmalenfa＠videotron.ca 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello, Is there any plan to have a configuration GUI for the BBWin? Something similar to the BB client for Windows. Not that I care about editing the XML config file manually (the file is quite simple and the documentation is clear). But the Windows administrators where I installed Hobbit would love to have a fancy GUI because their "other" tools have a GUI (BB, MOM, ipsentry, NetIQ, name it...). Is there somebody that already created one or is working on one? (I might be late in the news) Thanks Pierre

Hobbit loop
by rsmrcina＠wi.rr.com 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Every 2 or 3 days we have situation where Hobbit (or something on the machine that it's running on) appears to go in to a loop. I have top running in batch mode, piping the output to a file. It is in a 'forever' loop executing every minute. Is there anything else I should be running to try to track this down? Thanks. -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

I believe there is a distribution of wxPython for Mac, so I would imagine so. As soon as I can find the best way to disseminate the package, we shall see. :)

Setting up dependencies
by rsmrcina＠wi.rr.com 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I have a set of dependencies set up like this: 172.17.99.1 VS_Rtr # testip depends=(conn:GO_Rtr/conn) 172.17.99.251 vac0001 # testip depends=(conn:VS_Rtr/conn) The intent being that if VS_Rtr goes down that vac0001, will go white. I have a bunch of other machines in the dependency (that depend upon VS_Rtr). When VS_Rtr goes down, all of the machines that depend on it still show red. Is this due to testip being used? VS_Rtr and the machines that depend on it are on different pages in bb-hosts. Any comments on my configuration that would cause this? Thanks. -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

Hobbit_perl_client 1.11 is out :D
by fduranti＠q8.it 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

As usual just some changelog... Most of the work is on beastat.pl to make it work with 9.x of Weblogic server Some big work also on the netapp.pl script, It's now possible to check many things related to the newest/oldest snapshot in snaplistand to snapmirror like the size, the lag time, various Errors, existance of snapshot. There are also some new graphs for the snaplist and snapmirror tests (usefull to understand how data is changing on your volumes). Hobbit_fd_lib.pm 1.11 (general library) - Added an option to all the configuration files (netapp/dbcheck/beastat) to let Hobbit users decide what column to check for the connection test (default conn) or if the connection test is to be skipped - Added hobbitgraph.cfg graphs definition into the patch (it got out the last time) - Added changes to hobbitserver.cfg into the patch (it got out the last time) - The hobbit patch now check if in the page there's a  tag and if it's available it will take the linecount from there for multigraph generation - Added definition of NCV_mysqlperf into the patch for MySQL server graphs (you need to change the mysqlthread and mysqlslow definition to point to the right rrd to get the graphs). - Varios bug fixed Beastat 1.04 - Corrected a bug reporting an error while configuring the beastat.pl script - Corrected a problem with BEA WLS 9.x (now it works) - Corrected some problems with java error reporting - jdk and weblogicjar options in beastat.ini can now be configured under each domain to let beastat.pl work with weblogic.jar 8.x (jdk1.4) and weblogic.jar 9.x (jdk1.5) - Added a method to check one attribute value with a % value of another attribute value - Added the possibility to divide graphs generated patching hobbit in more graphs like the disk ones - Many other little fixes DBcheck 1.05 - Removed the first line in the mysqlperf check so that the data can be graphed via hobbit ncv module NetApp 1.07 - Corrected a bug with disk space report on data Ontap <7.0 where there are no aggregates - rshcmd config option can now be defined per host - completely rewritten the snaplist check. It's now possible to check newest and oldest snapshot for size/time they was last updated. It can report if volums don't have any snapshot or if they have and you don't want them - completely rewritten the snapmirror check. It will now report transfer errors and you can define if you want to be alerted if snapmirror are broken or in quiesce status. It's also possible to check for the last mirror lag and size - added data for snaplist and snapmirror so that they can generate rrd files and graphs - added an option to skip the sysconfig -c tests - some bug fix on the environment status reporting (thanks to Tadd Moore)

clientlaunch.cfg INTERVALs
by jonescr＠cisco.com 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

I need to ext script to run every hour, exactly on the hour. Am I correct in assuming that if I use "INTERVAL 60m", that this simply launches that script every hour from when the hobbit client was started? It would be nice if, INTERVAL had an extra option to indicated exactly when you wanted to launch, maybe even using a similar format to cron, ie: INTERVAL 00 * * * * would launch at the top of every hour INTERVAL 30 06 * * * would launch at 6:30am daily -Charles

Especially if you have any problems. Using Oracle in /opt/instantclient SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly If sqlplus failed due to a linker/symbol/relocation/library error or similar problem then it's likely that you've not configured your environment correctly. Specifically, your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable set to include the directory containing the Oracle libraries. I'm having trouble finding your Oracle version number... trying harder WARNING: I could not determine Oracle client version so I'll just default to version 8.0.0.0. Some features of DBD::Oracle may not work. Oracle version based logic in Makefile.PL may produce erroneous results. You can use "perl Makefile.PL -V X.Y.Z" to specify a your client version.

[hobbit] pb with hobbit-perl-client and dbcheck
by fduranti＠q8.it 18 Sep '06

I've not tested the dbcheck.pl with the InstantClient because I've a full 10r2 client installed on the machine but checking on some mailing list archive it seems that InstantClient and DBD::Oracle have some problems working together.... One suggestion I've found was to set the Oracle_home (in the dbcheck.ini file) to the lib directory instead of the root into which the instant client is installed (something like /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.2/client/lib)... Another thing is to check that you have the following package installed (took from the DBD:Oracle readme) * The "Basic" package for the essential Oracle libraries. * The "SDK" package for the headers and makefile. * The "SQL*Plus" component is optional, but will help you check your configuration and DBD::Oracle determine your Oracle version. Then you can try to define the full hostname/port/sid/user/password in the dbcheck.ini file under the db you want to configure (it should skip the tnsnames.ora and go through to the db server). Or you can try to define your db in a tnsnames.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and put only sid username and password in the dbconfiguration. What version of DBD::Oracle module are you using? Did it compile/test successfully? Can you check if with sqlplus you can connect correctly to that database?
