pageset question
by TIM.EVANS＠jpmchase.com 31 Jan '07

Hi Henrik, I asked this question last month and have had no luck with it. I've tried to get pagesets working and I am having issues getting the servers to show up in the subpage or group section of the page I created. I can only get a server to show up by using OS:*. Is there anything I am missing? I am running bbgen 4.1.2 and I also tried it on a server running bbgen 4.2 with the same results. I have gone over the bbgen man pages and used the same pageset as in the example This is the bb-hosts pageset section ospage unix Unix Servers ossubpagepage unix-aix AIX ossubpagepage unix-sun SUN This is the server line in bb-hosts 0.0.0.0 nsk-208 # OS:unix-sun 0.0.0.0 nsk-209 # OS:* When I run bbgen I get the following error. bbgen --pageset=os /opt/hobbit/server/www/os 2006-12-13 15:34:26 Warning: Cannot find any target page named 'unix-sun' in set 'os' - dropping host 'nsk-208' Any help is much appreciated.

BBWin bbd column
by don.munyak＠gmail.com 31 Jan '07

I have successfully installed and configured bbwin 0.9 on a windows client. My question is about bbd. >From docs.. "The bbd column shows the status of the Hobbit or Big Brother service on the host. " Since bbd refers to a host installed agent, which is not part of bbwin, how do I disable this in hobbit-server for a given windows host. Thanks ~Don

hobbit-alerts problem
by jonescr＠cisco.com 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

I am again being bitten by regex problems. I am able to reproduce it with the following entries in hobbit-alerts.cfg: $IGNORE_HOSTS=%prod-web-(1|2|3|4|9|10|11)$ HOST=$IGNORE_HOSTS service=* IGNORE If I then check the "info" column of a host that is *not* supposed to be ignored, such as prod-web-12. It shows that it is indeed ignored. This is a serious problem as I have already missed alerts for some production hosts because of this problem. According to pcretest (Henriks recommended method of testing a Hobbit regex), there is nothing wrong with the regular expression that I am using: $ pcretest PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006 re> /prod-web-(1|2|3|4|9|10|11)$/ data> prod-web-12 (*correctly not matching*) No match data> prod-web-19 (*correctly not matching*) No match data> prod-web-10 (*correctly matching*) 0: prod-web-10 1: 10 From the above tests you can see that prod-web-12 does not match the regex when using pcretest, yet Hobbit is matching it for some reason. A possible work-around could be to not use a regex at all, such as $IGNORE_HOSTS=prod-web-1,prod-web-2,prod-web-3... but that is not really a solution if you have hundreds of hosts, and my main point is that regular expressions are not working as they are documented. I've also tried other undocumented ways of using the regex, including: No hosts matched at all $IGNORE_HOSTS=%prod-web-(1|2|3|4|9|10|11)$ HOST="IGNORE_HOSTS" No hosts matched at all $IGNORE_HOSTS="%prod-web-(1|2|3|4|9|10|11)$" HOST=$IGNORE_HOSTS All hosts match (both web-12 and web-11) $IGNORE_HOSTS=prod-web-(1|2|3|4|9|10|11)$ HOST=%$IGNORE_HOSTS If anyone else can verify or reproduce this, it would be helpful in at least convincing Henrik to add it to the list of things to fix in the next version. I honestly hope that it's not a problem with Hobbit and instead something I am doing wrong - if so please enlighten me. -Charles

On my hobbit server, hobbitd_client is crashing continuously and I don't know why. It was fine last week and for many weeks prior; i came in this AM to find it being odd. Nothing has been added or changed. It is version 4.2.0. I have a core file, where shall i send it?

zoom graph feature
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 30 Jan '07

I think this has come up previously but I don't recall seeing a response...but how hard would it be to have the Zoom Graph function set the graph max to more accurately reflect the height of the block you select...ie, if I have a low load and I select a max height of around .2 when I drag my box, could the max on the new zoom be .2 instead of 1.0? =G=

Stefan's Hobbit admin scripts 0.2.3 bug
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hey, I haven't seen this come up yet but I had a problem getting the graphs to show up under the view graphs script (adminscripts_view_graph.sh). In order to get it to work, I had to change the "$BBWEBHOSTURL/hobbit-cgi", as well as "/hobbit-cgi", with $BBSERVERCGIURL. This seems to be the more correct way to do this since is uses the info from the config file of hobbit. =G=
