Strange CPU warnings with the netapp.pl script
by hw＠proact.dk 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hi there! I'm using the latest version of hobbit together with the netapp.pl script to monitor a few NetApp boxes... Everything works as expected, unless for two of the three NetApp boxes which keeps complaining about CPU warning issues: CPU Usage= 0% &yellow Cannot get any CPU data That's the warning I keep getting.. that is it comes with about 15 mins. Intervals, so some times it gets the CPU data from the NetApp, and ever so often it doesn't... The "funny" thing is that one of the two NetApp boxes on which this is an issue, is actually in a cluster with another box which doesn't have the issue at all.. All the boxes are running the same ontap version 7.2.3. I'm polling the boxes every 5 mins. And I have tried to enable the multithread option in the netapp.pl script... I realize that this may not be a bug in the script but maybe somewhere else... but how can I ignore this warning in the netapp.ini file ? Or in the hobbit-alert.cfg ? Currently I alert on everything (*) are you able to exclude the cpu alerts without listing all the alerts ? Home someone can help me out here ? /Heino

Have you started devmon itself ? The devmon --readbbhosts is just there to update the "database" of hosts to poll. As far as I remember, a sample init script is provided in the source tarball, you can use that to start devmon.

moved server, the server itself is not reporting?
by mikeegg1＠mac.com 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I recently moved the hobbit server from one box to another. I changed DNS entries, firewall entries, etc., and now today everything except one box is reporting. The new hobbit server itself is not report its own status. I start the hobbit server with: # su - hobbit $ ~/current/server/hobbit.sh start The daemon does start, things updating, etc., just not the server box itself. In /var/log/hobbit/hobbitclient.log I have lots of messages: ... 2007-12-20 09:04:00 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed 2007-12-20 09:09:01 Could not connect to bbd at 10.1.2.89:1984 - Connection refused 2007-12-20 09:09:01 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed 2007-12-20 09:14:02 Could not connect to bbd at 10.1.2.89:1984 - Connection refused 2007-12-20 09:14:02 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed 2007-12-20 09:19:03 Could not connect to bbd at 10.1.2.89:1984 - Connection refused ... Looks like the client daemon did not start. What more do I need to add starting the server to start the client? Ideas? Mike

[hobbit] moved server, the server itself is not reporting?

Check in ~/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg to see what the IP address of your server is - I fell in this trap once. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Eggleston [mailto:mikeegg1 at mac.com] Sent: 20 December 2007 16:45 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] moved server, the server itself is not reporting? On Thu, 20 Dec 2007, Josh Luthman might have said: > Is the new server listening on 10.1.2.89:1984? > > Do a netstat -an|grep 1984 and paste what you see, please. No, the new server is 10.1.2.84. So, maybe there are two parts to this. Something is sending to 10.1.2.89 (the old server) and something is not listening on 10.1.2.84 (the new server).

Hi... The line i want to test with DevMON in bb-hosts is: 10.21.25.1 SW # DEVMON:tests(cpu) I don't have any logs. I just want to read out the communitystring "public" I've also configure a "crontab" with the following parameter: */15 * * * * perl /usr/local/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts When I execute this on commandline it's run, but no logfile being created in /var/log What Am I doing wrong?

What exactly doesn't work? What have you done? Do you see anything in the devmon logs? Post one example line from your bb-hosts file. Can you snmpwalk the device using the hostname? Have you got the right community strings in the devmon config ? devmon works fine, and is relatively easy to set up.
