[hobbit] Ack problems

To see all yellow and red alerts go to "Main view" before clicking on the "Acknowledge Alert" item then you should see all your alerts. This is the same behaviour as you will see in Reporting etc., where it only selects certain clients based on the page you wer last viewing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Wilson [SMTP:swilson at uchicago.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 9:00 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Re: [hobbit] Ack problems > > > Err... sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. > > I know about the non-green Systems page.

Yes thanks for the help and info I really apperciate it. -----Original Message----- From: hobbit at hswn.dk <hobbit at hswn.dk> To: Rebecca Henderson; hobbit at hswn.dk <hobbit at hswn.dk> Sent: Wed Nov 28 16:46:38 2007 Subject: Re: [hobbit] aix While I'm not familiar at all with AIX, I found it took me about 15 minutes once the OS was installed to pull all the updates and get Hobbit running. I have step by step instructions for one of my "trainiee's" for CentOS, would you like to try it out? The packages I need to install once CentOS 5 with the "server" selection of packages on the disks are installed are as follows: gcc gcc-c++ pcre-devel libpng-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel fping rrdtool-devel Can you get these development libraries installed on AIX using your package manager?

New feature ?
by Vernon.Everett＠woodside.com.au 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi Henrik I would like to propose a possible new feature. In the hobbit-clients.cfg on the server, we can specify default threshholds for most things, but the selection is based on hostname. Is there a way to specify the machine architecture as an identifier. (uname -n To give an example, I run a mixed bag of Sun T2000, V440, V490, and X4?00 servers. Because of what we are running on each server type, we find a large run queue on the T2000 is quite normal, but on one of the others, we expect a very small run queue. Instead of defining runqueue threshhold per host name, it would be nice to have a ARCH option which could be overridden by the HOST So we could define ARCH=x86_64 # Linux LOAD 5.0 10 ARCH=i86pc # Solaris on x86 LOAD 6 12 ARCH=SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise # A solaris 10 zone LOAD 8 12 ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490 # A Sun V490 LOAD 6 9 ARCH=SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 # A T2000 reports as T200 - don't ask! LOAD 15 25 However, if further down the list we had a HOST server01 we could redefine the LOAD, despite it being a T2000. HOST=server01 LOAD 10 15 The utility of this would mean I don't have to define every host inividually, but Of course, we could also use the same definitions for OS as returned by uname -s SunOS, Linux etc. (I see you use this in the client scripts) It would be nice to have that flexibility in the configs.

Ack problems
by swilson＠uchicago.edu 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Is there a way to see all non-acknowledge events? I'm having a probem with my server where the "Acknowledge Alerts" page doesn't seem to show everything. Some stuff shows up, other things never seem to. Right now I have the option of Acking a Yellow CPU that started at about 3am, but I don't have the option of Acking a Red Disk that started at 9am. I tried seeing what the CGI did, but it's an executable, not a shell script which makes things harder. I figured before delving into source, I'd just ask. Thanks, Scott Wilson Lead System Administrator swilson at uchicago.edu NSIT - DCS - SeaUnix
