Hi all, I tried to compile a static hobbit client for rhel3 (for checkpoitn secureplatform), but I still get the following messages : make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/hobbit-4.2.0/build' CC="gcc" CFLAGS="-static -I. -I`pwd`/include -DCLIENTONLY=1" BBHOME="/home/hobbit/client" BBHOSTIP="172.16.165.240" LOCALCLIENT="no" NETLIBS="" make -C client all make[1]: Entering directory `/root/hobbit-4.2.0/client' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/hobbit-4.2.0/client' make: *** [client] Error 2 has anyone succesfully compiled a static hobbit client for rhel3 ? is there an rpm somewhere ? thanks ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

[hobbit] drop test not sticking...
by benjamin.gagnon＠yahoo.ca 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

BTW the ports test must be performed from the client because the server cannot have any knowledge of internal interfaces such as local loopback... Here is a sample of my ports test data. tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7017 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5555 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Benjamin ----- Original Message ---- From: Lars Ebeling <lars.ebeling at leopg9.no-ip.org> To: hobbit at hswn.dk Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 4:58:09 AM Subject: Re: [hobbit] drop test not sticking... I would say that the ports test is performed on the server. All posrtinformation is sent from client to server and the tests in hobbit-clients.log is performed, so: 1. remove the PORT entry in hobbit-clients.cfg 2. drop the test Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buchan Milne" <bgmilne at staff.telkomsa.net> To: <hobbit at hswn.dk> Cc: "Benjamin Gagnon" <benjamin.gagnon at yahoo.ca> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [hobbit] drop test not sticking...

Hello, I had a consulting firm setup Hobbit monitoring for my company and they literally closed down business over night without giving me the login id and password. Is there any way you may be able to help me regain administration access? Thank you.

Grouping pages

Hi hobbits! This might be trivial - but I cannot figure out how to group pages on my display server. I have 9 1st level pages that I'd like to divide into groups ( Internal systems, Customers, Test, sct. ). Is that possible ? BR /Torben

Funny bbtest-net error on ping test
by olivier.beau＠telecomitalia.fr 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi all, Bbtest-net went red today, and all my ping tests went clear for 3 minutes (my testing interval). Here's my bb-network.log: 2007-03-17 11:18:08 Cannot create file /data/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.7488 : Permission denied 2007-03-17 11:18:08 Cannot create file /data/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stderr.7488 : Permission denied 2007-03-17 11:18:12 xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable $BBTMP 2007-03-17 11:18:12 hobbitping child could not create outputfiles in (null) 2007-03-17 11:18:12 Cannot open ping output file /data/hobbit/server/tmp/ping-stdout.7488 Any idea what could have caused this ? (those ping-std* files do not exist, and the tmp directory is own by hobbit) olivier

clientupdate problems
by sveinn＠sveinng.com 17 Mar '07

17 Mar '07

Hi all. I am a long time user and fan of Hobbit :-) So thank you all for your hard work on the project! I am having trouble with the clientupdate part, and I belive I might have found a bug, or just misunderstood the whole thing :) Here is my scenario: I am installing hobbit client on our ESX3 servers, and I decided to assign a special class (esx3) to those machines in the bb-hosts file: 192.168.xxx.xxx VMWARE01 # CLASS:esx3 In client-local.cfg I have a section for the class: [esx3] clientversion:hobbit-esx3-v01 When I want to push out a new version, I place a new tarball in $BBHOME/download, in my case hobbit-esx3-v02.tar, and bump the clientversion reference in client-local.cfg to: [esx3] clientversion:hobbit-esx3-v02 But, what happens, is that only one client will update it self. If I bump the clientversion again, another one client will update and so on. I am running the latest Hobbit server, with latest all-in-one patch on AIX 5300-05-03. On the clientside, I am also running latest and greatest, on ESX 3.0.1. Best regards, Svenni

hobbit-alerts.cfg - DURATION
by cits.bogajewski＠daimlerchrysler.com 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

Dear Hobbits, is DURATION keyword within hobbit-alerts.cfg relates to the time period one test is in a special state, yellow or red, or more general the time period since non-green state occurs. In example, i want to get exact one notification at yellow state and one at red, but the following configuration does not work. I get notified on initial yellow alert, but not on red one occurring 4 min later. HOST=myhost SERVICE=disk COLOR=yellow DURATION<3 SCRIPT $SSMSS $ABSMS REPEAT=5 RECOVERED HOST=myhost SERVICE=disk COLOR=red DURATION<3 SCRIPT $SSMSS $ABSMS REPEAT=5 RECOVERED Any ideas? Thanks :-) Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely Anatoli Bogajewski
