12 Jan '07

Hello, I finally got a lan-line hooked up and working on my hobbit server. Thanks for everyones help with that. I am trying to configure SMS alerts using the TAP protocol. The hobbit help documents refer to /usr/local/bin/smsalert as the program to use to send the alert via a modem. what software or scripts can I use to dial out using the TAP protocol and send a SMS message to a cell phone... I need someone to point me in the right direction ;-) thanks, michael -- Michael A.

Hey Michael, I just dumped the templates into my devmon. I did have to add WS-C6509 to the specs file on the sysdesc line to have it see my two units. Anyways, I'm getting the following errors and wanted to see if they were something you've seen before and possibly had a fix for. If not no worries, I'll just kill those queries.

File monitoring.
by tlp-hobbit＠holme-pedersen.dk 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

hi all, Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file. If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert. in client-local.cfg I have file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1` which produces the oldest file name on the web page. I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200 but I get no alarms. Any ideas ?

I'm looking to hear from the group about monitoring Cisco routers. I see on deadcat that there are a number of external packages to do this, which is the best? Ideally we want to monitor traffic, in addition to the standard ping test, CPU and memory would be a bonus. Thanks, -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

hobbit Digest 11 Jan 2007 19:46:40 -0000 Issue 528

Thomas: I see the same thing on AIX 5.1 ML07 machines. In the script: hobbitclient-aix.sh change this line from: netstat -an | grep "^tcp" to netstat -an | grep "^tcp" | head -5000 Most likely the netstat command is looping on the same MAC. The above line fixed the problem.
