I do, they are windows servers, so Im running the bbwin client. I will modify the registry entry for %COMPUTERNAME% .

2 hosts with the same name

Is there an easy way to monitor 2 servers with the same computername using 1 hobbit server? We are monitoring both our production enviroment and test environments. Unfortunately the computername in test or prod cannot be changed.

[PATCH] Suse version not being correctly detected on SLES9
by gn1＠sanger.ac.uk 04 Jan '07

The distribution is not returned correctly on SLES9, as the hobbitclient-linux.sh script is looking for SuSE when it's SUSE: $ cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64) VERSION = 9 PATCHLEVEL = 2 I don't have any SuSE machines before hands, but adding a -i option to grep should be safe enough (at least it works for me now ;)) Cheers, Gildas --- hobbitclient-linux.sh.orig 2007-01-04 16:30:08.711197000 +0000 +++ hobbitclient-linux.sh 2007-01-04 16:30:47.073876464 +0000 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ echo -en "Debian " cat /etc/debian_version elif [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ]; then - grep ^SuSE /etc/SuSE-release + grep -i ^SuSE /etc/SuSE-release elif [ -f /etc/slackware-version ]; then cat /etc/slackware-version elif [ -f /etc/mandrake-release ]; then

dbcheck.pl - Oracle - tablespace with AutoExtent
by henrik＠hswn.dk 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I've started using Francesco's dbcheck script - very nice package, really. However, one of my DBA's is a bit unhappy with the tablespace check - it reports yellow/red status for tables that have been defined with AutoExtent enabled. Right now I get a report like this: Tablespace check (def. warning Use% >= 90%, def. alert Use% >= 95%) TableSpace/DBSpace Size Used Free Use% Autoextent(Size) BASIC_DATA2_1976_88 300.0M 215.0M 85.0M 72% YES (64.0G) BASIC_DATA2_1989Q1 400.0M 382.0M 18.0M 96% YES (64.0G) BASIC_DATA2_1989Q2 500.0M 483.0M 17.0M 97% YES (64.0G) with the last two tables causing a red status. My DBA thinks they should not trigger an alert, because they will automatically increase in size if needed. Can anyone shed some light on this? My knowledge of Oracle is close to zero, so I really don't have any idea whether he is right or not. Regards, Henrik

IM back from vacation ! Yes the new viewlogs.sh script works with two minor problems. ON solaris 8 you must /usr/xpg4/bin/tail rather than the default tail to support the -n option. Probably true for all Solaris versions. And the default bash from sun does not work: /usr/bin/bash --version GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc. But this version does: $ /usr/local/bin/bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I think the easiest thing is just to put a note in the file. ON to the next one!: view_graph.sh Not giving a drop down list for Service. All in one line. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | _p_ Mike Nemeth | ___| |_____ email(w) michael.nemeth at lmco.com Work: 856 359-1425 |><___________) | Home Page:http://www.geocities.com/mjnemeth/ | Work Page:http://scorpion/~nemethm/ | Work Page:http://ortfsb/~mnemeth/ |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Contact to Henrik

Hello everybody, sorry for spamming the mailing list, but I'm quite desperate. Currently I'm doing my diploma thesis and part of it is setting up and customizing a monitoring environment using hobbit. Due to the fact, that my Prof wants me to write s.th. about the hobbit system architecture, I tried to reach Henrik personally by mail, but unfortunately got no reaction. Probably the spam filters blocked my messages. So Henrik, if you read this, please tell me a way to get in contact with you. Thanks for your time. Wolfgang
