restricting access to hobbit
by philwild＠gmail.com 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hello, I am looking at setting up hobbit to manage two groups of hosts. I would prefer to just deploy one hobbit installation for both groups. For most of the hobbit web pages, Apache security solves a lot of the browsing issues but the cgi-bin executables and menus are the problem. I want to make sure one group don't have access to see or make changes to the other groups hosts. The areas I see a problem with are: hobbit-enadis.sh bb-findhost.sh hobbit-confreport.sh I would like to restrict the above to only work with a subset of hosts (perhaps a tag in the bbhosts file) The reports generate web pages on the fly and drop the user at the top level page which is not what I would prefer (each group have their own top level page etc.) All nongreen view is also an issue and lastly, manually modifying the URL based on bb-hostsvc.sh to get to a web page for a host in the other groups list is also a problem. Any ideas how I can address this? Thanks Phil

Latest snapshot: comment info missing
by Dirk.Kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi, four weeks ago I wrote: "I just installed the latest snapshot of hobbit. The comment info is missing on my sub pages. The "current non-green system" page correctly displays them, like "xnode5 (mail)". On the mail sub page only the name "xnode5" is displayed, without the comment "mail"." The problem still persists after installing today's snapshot. Is it a bug or did you change something in the configuration? -- Regards, Dirk Kastens Universitaet Osnabrueck, Rechenzentrum (Computer Center) Albrechtstr. 28, 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Tel.: +49-541-969-2347, FAX: -2470

2 hobbit clients reporting with same host name
by johng＠idttechnology.com 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

I found an alert status flapping for one hostname. After some investigation found a green status was coming from hostA/1.1.1.1 and 2 minutes later a yellow status from hostA/2.2.2.2. Can a test be done that if a reporting client's IP address doesn't match the IP address in the bb-hosts file then alert/discard the status of the incorrect/duplicate hostA? Thanks, John
