ldap query
by iain＠shihad.org 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Evening people, I am trying to get an ldap query, and I have added the following line to the server in question in the bb-hosts file ldaps://192.168.1.25:636/dc=shihad,dc=org?cn,sn?sub?(cn=*) Now, this will go red when the ldap server is not listening on port 389. Is there any way I can force it to just check port 636? I thought the port number on the end as well as the ldaps in the URI would do it but no luck :( Cheers Iain

I've sent you a couple of those in the past... On a whim, I specified IP addresses for those servers (rather than 0.0.0.0) and the infinite loop issue went away. I still get the - Program crashed Fatal signal caught! message on the hobbitfetch monitoring page, but it is still pulling down data much of the time. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com

Is there a way to use the hobbit cgi scripts to generate a report listing all of the notifications sent by Hobbit (i.e. from log/notifications.log) for a specific time frame? -- Tom Georgoulias Systems Engineer McClatchy Interactive tomg at mcclatchyinteractive.com

bbgen --recentgifs option
by rower.master＠gmail.com 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi friends, I want to set on hobbitserver.cfg the --recentgifs option to show the recent-gifs only for 15 minutes. How can I do this? I've tried --recentgifs=15 and doesn't work. The gifs status change only after an hour. Any hint? Thanks in advance.

bbd column absent (do I need to worry?)
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Today I noticed that my Hobbit server does not have a bbd-column anymore. The column-header says "The bbd service is an essential part of the Hobbit" so it seems like I'm missing something vital here, but to me it seems everything is working fine. However, today (feb 6) since 11am sharp, I'm missing some trend data for "cpu" and "users and processes". So I guessed the client was not running (although disk graphs kept working). According to the runclient.sh script, the client was not running, so i started it but no change whatsoever. This happened to me before and I'm sure that within a day it will work again, but it remains strange. Any suggestions ? Am I missing something? Peter

Dual hobbit servers
by Allan.Marillier＠dana.com 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

There may be a simple solution to my problem, but I'm confused. I have two Fedora Core 6 servers both running hobbit 4.2.0.1 All my Red Hat servers are configured to send data to both servers with /etc/default/hobbit-client having the line HOBBITSERVERS="10.8.100.199 10.8.100.20" My primary (BBPAGER) server is .20 with secondary as .199. Both servers perform all server base tests (conn, ssh, ftp, http) correctly. All Red Hat AS 4 clients where I installed Henrik's FC5-hobbit-client-4.2.0-1.i386.rpm bundle send all client side data correctly to both servers. All AS 3 and AS 2.1 servers (yes, AS 2.1 is old and I do want to get rid of them but I'm stuck on a few) I compiled source to get the most recent hobbit client in place. Everything works ok, the servers send their file-system, procs, CPU, RAM etc data but only to the primary server. No client side data gets through to the secondary. From any of those delinquent servers I can telnet to the secondary on port 1984 with no problems, logs show no complaints about being unable to connect. I've been going crazy on this for a while, and the only thing in common is that the non reporting servers are all AS 2.1 and AS 3 based, where I compiled the client.

[hobbit] Run local custom script as root?
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

We use sudo for some tests. For others, we run root cron jobs that generate a flatfile to be parsed by the hobbit client. One of the errors that the client will generate in these cases is the flatfile being over 10 minutes old. This also is used to monitor SAP CCMS alerts (CCMS is the SAP environment internal monitoring toolwhich requires you to be logged into SAP to see the results -- we have an ABAP program that creates a flatfile for hobbit). Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Zepf [mailto:matthias.zepf at junidas.de] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 2:41 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Run local custom script as root? Hi, I am new to Hobbit. I searched the Hobbit mailing list archive but did not find an answer to the following question: Is there a (save) way to run a local custom script as root? Some checks require root permissions, e.g. smartctl on Linux does not work even when you have group rights on the device (e.g. /dev/hda). Or is running a Hobbit script as root a bad idea at all?
