Thanks for that help earlier..

Thanks for the help earlier. I've been able to run ./configure a number of times now.. Stuck at a new place now; involving permissions. In the docs for hobbit, it says to create a custom user, and have that user in its own group. It mentioned that the hobbit user should NOT be a member of any other groups. That's all fine and good, but shouldn't it [the user hobbit] be a member of the apache group, so apache can read the 'hobbit' directories (and write to them)? Right now, I've got a webserver telling me: "You don't have permission to access / on this server." B.

Problem with SMS messages
by mlist＠cmcflex.com 31 Dec '07

Hello, I am having a simple problem with SMS messages being sent to my Tmobile phones. I did a manual telnet into my mail server that sends these messages and found that the ones that are coming from hobbit at xxx are failing. But when I use my own From address Myemail at cmcflex.com the messages go through with no issues. Any suggestions on approaches I can take to fixing this problem. Or how could I change the from sender on the hobbit server? Thank you for your time. Frank

Hello, I have sar data coming into hobbit, and I can graph the data just fine. I've create a multi-cpu graph, and a cpu utilization graph. However, I want to see a graph for just wait time, and mult-wait time. I can't see anything though. Here's my definitions: hostgraphs_form: <option value="iowait">IOWAIT </option> <option value="iowait">IOWAIT (multi) </option> hobbitgraph.cfg: [iowait] TITLE IOWAIT info YAXIS % Load -u 100 -r DEF:wio=sar.rrd:wio:AVERAGE STACK:wio#774400:Wait COMMENT:\n GPRINT:wio:LAST:WIO CPU \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:wio:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:wio:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:wio:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n [iowait-multi] TITLE Multi-host IOWAIT info YAXIS % Used FNPATTERN sar.rrd -u 100 -r DEF:wio at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:wio:AVERAGE CDEF:pbusy at RRDIDX@=100,wio at RRDIDX@ LINE2:pbusy at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ GPRINT:pbusy at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:pbusy at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:pbusy at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:pbusy at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n What am I missing?

Hobbit client doesn't report
by kevinmhanrahan＠hotmail.com 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hello again all, To re-visit my question about the hobbit client, I have done the following: - downloaded and compiled the hobbit client on a SEPERATE machine from the hobbit server server = hercules client = castor - put an entry in bb-hosts on the server (hercules) for the client (castor) that looks like this: 10.10.0.6 castor # trace - configured hobbitclient.cfg on the client to look like this: BBDISP="10.10.0.13" # IP address of the Hobbit server - started the hobbit client on the client machine (castor) I get NO client data. All I get is the tests that are originated from the server (conn,info,trends) Any ideas? thank kh

Monitoring average CPUspeed on Systems with dynamic CPUspeed
by apfaffeneder＠zuhause-local.de 30 Dec '07

Hi folks, to monitor the 5 minute average cpu-speed of your notebook or server capable of changing its cpu speed you can use the folling bits: CLIENT: Place cpuspeed.sh in the clients ext-directory: cpuspeed.sh (requires bash, awk and loaded cpufreq_stats.ko) #!/bin/bash COLUMN=cpuspeed # Name of the column COLOR=green # By default, everything is OK MSG="" STATEFILE="/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state" SPEEDS=`awk '{print $1}' $STATEFILE` for SPEED in $SPEEDS; do export TICKS$SPEED=`grep $SPEED $STATEFILE | awk '{print $2}'` done sleep 300 for SPEED in $SPEEDS; do export TICKS${SPEED}_2=`grep $SPEED $STATEFILE|awk '{print $2}'` done for SPEED in $SPEEDS; do DIFF=$[TICKS${SPEED}_2 - TICKS$SPEED] DIFFSUM=$[$DIFFSUM + $DIFF ] if [ $DIFF -gt 0 ]; then CLOCKS=$[$CLOCKS + ($DIFF*$SPEED) ] fi done RESULT=$[$CLOCKS/$DIFFSUM/1000] MSG="Mhz:$RESULT" $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` ${MSG} " exit 0 /cpuspeed.sh Add to clientlaunch.cfg: [cpuspeed] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/cpuspeed.sh INTERVAL 5m SERVER: Add the following lines to hobbitgraph.cfg: [cpuspeed] TITLE CPU Speed YAXIS Mhz DEF:speed=cpuspeed.rrd:Mhz:AVERAGE LINE2:speed#000000:AVERAGE GPRINT:speed:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:speed:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:speed:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:speed:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n Modify/Add hobbitserver.cfg: TEST2RRD: Add cpuspeed=ncv Add line: NCV_cpuspeed="Mhz:GAUGE" Optional: Add cpuspeed to line GRAPHS The cpuspeed.sh could easily be extended to get values per CPU, but I have not seen CPUs changing their speeds independently so far.

dumb question..
by tkleinert＠directpointe.com 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

I installed hobbit on a fedora machine, its' package manager made the install uber simple, however, I am left with no clue where to find the actual installed files, to launch the configure script. Anyone know where it puts the files, when you do an RPM install? B.

Anyone knows of the IP 158.169.131.14 / psbru.cec.eu.int ?
by henrik＠hswn.dk 28 Dec '07

It is requesting several of the Hobbit demo webpages *every second* eating up some 200-300 kbit/sec bandwidth from my DSL line. I've firewall'ed it and sent an e-mail to the abuse-contacts, but if you know about this host please stop the scripts running wget. Thanks, Henrik

Hello all, It has been quite a while since I visited here and I could use some help. Can somebody direct me to where and how I get or obtain or generate the hobbit client for a linux machine? I can't seem to remember. Thanks Kevin
