I have one particular host on my network that I can ping just fine from the command line, but hobbit cannot seem to get a ping response out of it. Any ideas? -- Stewart Larsen

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=

Who Test

I have noticed that the client collects all of the data and then the server "tests" the condition. How would I go about writing a who script that would tell me when someone is logged in as root? Thanks Richard

[bug?] Crash of hobbitsvc.cgi on trends column display
by cgoyard＠cvf.fr 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi Henrik, Yesterday I upgraded my hobbit server to take advantage of the all-in-one corrections, plus the "split-ncv" feature (have a peek in your spambox to see my message about this :)). I then found a bug that did not show up on the test host, so I rolled back. Since then, hobbitsvc.cgi segfaults when I click on the trends column (renamed _graphs in my setup) : http://monitor/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=somehost.dom&SERVICE=_graphs Here's gdb output : #0 bbh_find_item (host=0x8088210, item=BBH_DISPLAYNAME) at loadhosts.c:160 #1 0x0804e652 in rrdlink_text (host=0x807f980, rrd=0x80881f0,wantmeta=HG_PLAIN_LINK) at hobbitsvc-trends.c:120 #2 0x0804eb99 in generate_trends (hostname=0x80769d8 "somehost.dom") at hobbitsvc-trends.c:288 #3 0x08049feb in do_request () at hobbitsvc.c:216 #4 0x0804aeb6 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbf935594) at hobbitsvc.c:518 just before the crash, I have : i=0 host->elems gives "Cannot access memory at address 0x0" item=BBH_DISPLAYNAME bbh_item_key[item]="NAME:" 160 while (host->elems[i] && strncasecmp(host->elems[i],bbh_item_key[item], strlen(bbh_item_key[item]))) i++; Can it come from a missing "something" in the configuration ? Can it crash because of corrupted rrd files ? I continue my investigations, but you sure can help :). [oh, I found another small bug, not severe at all: when running hobbitsvc.cgi from the command line, it segfaults if SCRIPT_NAME is not set. Maybe it should set SCRIPT_NAME to a sensible default or at least exit grcefully] -- Charles Goyard - cgoyard at cvf.fr - (+33) 1 45 38 01 31
