Multiple graphs on single monitor page
by rpeters＠columbia.com 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

Is this possible? More information. I've installed this monitor (http://www.trantor.org/theshire/doku.php/monitors:mpstat) for tracking usage on individual processors in a multiprocessor system and it is running/collecting data and updating the rrd files. I now want to have the 4 graphs that are defined/generated on the single page when you click on the 'mpstat' link for the individual node. The documentation on the page above says to update the bb-hosts entry with: # mpstat:mpstatusr|mpstatsys|mpstatwt|mpstatidl I did that and didn't see any graphs at all. The four entries following the mpstat: are the names of the graph definitions in hobbitgraph.cfg. What I've done to get something working was to add entries in the hobbitserver.cfg for the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS definitions. It seems that only one 'mpstat=mpstatxxx' definition will display on the monitor page even if I add the others. There also seems to be some tie that I'm not grokking where I have to put matching 'mpstat' and 'mpstatxxx' entries in the GRAPHS definition to get the graph to show on the monitor page which doesn't seem to follow the documentation in the .cfg file. However it is done, can I get to the point of having the four graphs displayed on the single monitor page? Has anyone else done this? I'm tired of pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance, Ron.

I've just got through installing a fresh version of hobbit and now everything looks great except for the "conn" status which is showing up white and showing "Hobbit system error". bb-network.log: 2007-12-19 13:15:10 Could not run the command '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' (exec failed) 2007-12-19 13:15:10 hobbitping invocation failed: Permission denied -rwsr-x--- 1 root adm 35281 Mar 7 2007 /usr/sbin/fping -rwsr-x--- 1 root hobbit 71927 Apr 13 2007 /usr/libexec/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitping TIA, Frank M.

Hobbit directory structure
by FRamaekers＠ailife.com 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

I just installed Hobbit using yum on a new system, unfortunately I already had my /home/hobbit structure from the previous system (which crashed). Well, it appears that yum installed Hobbit quite differently than I had originally installed. --------------------- Previously --------------------------- /home/hobbit/cgi-bin /cgi-secure /client /bin /etc /ext /logs /tmp /data /acks /data /disabled /hist /histlogs/(various monitored systems) /hostdata /logs /rrd/(various monitored systems) /server /bin /download /etc /ext /tmp /web /www /gifs /help /html /menu /notes /rep /Servers/(various sub pages) /snap /wml /source /snapshot /var/log/hobbit ---------------------- Now ------------------------- /etc/hobbit /usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin /cgi-secure /server /bin /download /ext /var/lib/hobbit /acks /data /disabled /hist /histlogs /hostdata /logs /rrd /tmp /www /gifs /help /html /menu /notes /rep /snap /wml /var/log/hobbit --------------------------------------------------------------- It appears that I need to: #----Copy data cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/hist/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/hist cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/histlogs cp -ar /home/hobbit/data/rrd/* /var/lib/hobbit/data/rrd #----Copy configuration cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts /etc/hobbit cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg /etc/hobbit cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg /etc/hobbit cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitpasswd /etc/hobbit #--->Modify existing instead! #--->cp -a /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg /etc/hobbit Still run under user hobbit? If so, what directory structure is needed? Anything else I might be missing? Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. Systems Programmer MCP, MCP+I, MCSE & RHCE American Income Life Insurance Co.

Mapping Network, Hobbit
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Merry Christmas everyone. Is there an add-in or way to create maps showing me interconnections with Hobbit? So, for example. it takes the information from netstat and shows me a connection to LDAP from my web servers and it's all mapped, so I can click on the protocol, and it shows me to/from connections. Thanks.James

You should post on the mailing list too. Check the file README.dbcheck, most of the information are there.

contents check
by haresh.k.shah＠ge.com 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi I have setup http test with contents check for 3-4 server simultaneously for the same host & it worked fine. Now for one host we have more than 80 weblogic servers (per server one process) running and I want to run http test for all. I can't do the ports test as each server must have different port to run & I want to be alerted with server name in the alert itself. If I use ports test then I got alert only for ports service failure and not the alert with server name failure. thoughts? If I want to use contents check for all these then is there a nice way to do it, as all the service can't even accomodate in the one line on bb2.html against specific host. Please suggest. ~ Haresh
