Hi, In my hobbit instalation, the host-ack checkbox is not acknowledging all alerts from a given host. Has anyone here experienced the same problem? Thanks in advance, mario.

case-sensitive ignore strings

I'm monitoring a machine which is unfortunately named "panic" and I can't seem to get the LOG settings right to flag "PANIC", but not "panic" for that host. Here's the host-specific section in hobbit-clients.cfg: HOST=panic,panic.example.com LOG %.* %(?-i)PANIC IGNORE=%panic LOG %.* %(FATAL|ECC) COLOR=red and here's the default section (for all other machines): DEFAULT LOG %.* %(FATAL|PANIC|ECC) COLOR=red Any ideas why "panic" is still matching? Thanks, Matt

Contact to Henrik

Hello everybody, sorry for spamming the mailing list, but I'm quite desperate. Currently I'm doing my diploma thesis and part of it is setting up and customizing a monitoring environment using hobbit. Due to the fact, that my Prof wants me to write s.th. about the hobbit system architecture, I tried to reach Henrik personally by mail, but unfortunately got no reaction. Probably the spam filters blocked my messages. So Henrik, if you read this, please tell me a way to get in contact with you. Thanks for your time. Wolfgang

user and group for bb.html ...
by rolf.masfelder＠nector.de 03 Feb '07

Hallo List, a silly questtion, but ... my files bb*.html in server/www dont change! I belive it depends on the access-rigths for the files. in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log there are some entries like this 2007-02-03 12:51:33 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6 2007-02-03 12:52:34 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6 2007-02-03 13:02:34 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6 2007-02-03 13:03:35 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6 2007-02-03 13:04:35 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 6 I think it's due to the same error. Can anyone tell me the correct user and group for these files (or the correct doc). (Version: 4.2.0 with allinone-patch) thanx Rolf Masfelder

On my hobbit server, hobbitd_client is crashing continuously and I don't know why. It was fine last week and for many weeks prior; i came in this AM to find it being odd. Nothing has been added or changed. It is version 4.2.0. I have a core file, where shall i send it?

URL Yellow verses Red
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 02 Feb '07

Hello, On URL's, is there a way to say, turn them Yellow instead of Red? We have several development URL's and we want to monitor them, but don't want Hobbit showing them as Red, instead we'd like them to show Yellow. Is this possible? Thanks..James

Critical systems problem
by rower.master＠gmail.com 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, When I use in bb-hosts the tag NAME , like this 0.0.0.0 foo.com # NAME: chicago.foo, causes critical systems ack form uses <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="HOST" VALUE="chicago.foo"> and the acknowledge message don't appears on the web page when I click the button. I think, the correct form should be <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="HOST" VALUE="foo.com"> . Any help or we already have a patch for this? Thanks in advance, mario.

Client install does not work. No reports. And of course no Glibc.
by Ralf.Strandell＠tallinksilja.com 02 Feb '07

Hobbit client install I made a cpio-packet of hobbit client and moved it to a client computer. I get no reports from the client and this is what I find in the hobbitclient.log : /home/hobbit/client/bin/logfetch: /lib/i686/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /home/hobbit/client/bin/logfetch) So, the installation did not make a statically linked binary? Do I need to reinstall my server to get statically linked portable files?

An unlucky "date" command on the hobbit server has changed the time from jan 12 to nov 1 for about 10/15 minutes :( Now almost all histories look like this: Mon Jan 29 00:09:59 2007 green 10:32:48 Sun Jan 28 23:55:01 2007 red 0:14:58 Wed Nov 01 00:00:32 2006 green 88 days 23:54:29 Wed Nov 01 00:00:17 2006 purple 0:00:15 Fri Jan 12 11:21:29 2007 green none Fri Jan 12 09:55:20 2007 red 1:26:09 is there a way to clean the history removing the wrong "Nov 01" lines? thank you -- Gianluca

hobbit client on AIX
by stef.coene＠docum.org 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, The df output on AIX includes also /proc and nfs mounted file systems. I exclude them with df -Ik | grep -v "/proc" | grep -v ":/" Excluding /proc is easy, but the only way I found to exclude nfs file systems is excluding the lines with :/ in it ...... Can someone else with an aix box confirm that this is ok ? Stef
