bbproxy crashing

Yesterday, for no apparent reason, bbproxy started crashing every few minutes. Has anybody else had this problem? Here is the stack trace: (gdb) where #0 0x008aa7a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2 #1 0x008ea7a5 in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x008ec209 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #3 0x0804e5e2 in sigsegv_handler (signum=11) at sig.c:57 #4 <signal handler called> #5 0x0804a8c8 in main (argc=6, argv=0xbff446f4) at bbproxy.c:877 I really need to get this figured out, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Larry Barber

Removing Old Entries
by tony.barrett＠roke.co.uk 15 May '07

As I've been investigating Hobbit with view to a rollout, I've added then removed ports to monitor in bb-hosts. Hobbit does stop monitoring them, but doesn't seem to remove them from the display. For example, I setup RDP monitoring ok some Windows servers. Hobbit added this to the display, and all was ok. I decided to remove the RDP monitoring from two specific servers, and now instead of just seeing a small dash (indicating not being monitored), I get the purple square with the diagonal sliding line, which I can't seem to get rid of.

[hobbit] still with the bb-histlog.sh errors
by bewhite＠fellowes.com 14 May '07

Jason, Thanks, but I fail to see how changing the group on the web server would make a problem which only occurs once in awhile go away. As for a recompile, I will try that and let you know. ....Bruce -----Original Message----- From: Jones, Jason (Altrincham) [mailto:JasonAS_Jones at mentor.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 3:14 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] still with the bb-histlog.sh errors The other thing you could try is recompiling hobbit with make clean and see if it was just a corrupt cgi file Thanks, Jason. _____ From: Jones, Jason (Altrincham) Sent: 11 May 2007 09:07 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] still with the bb-histlog.sh errors Try altering your apache conf to use the same group as the permissions on the hobbit directories? (think it was hobbit on the output you put earlier) apart from that I'm running out of ideas of why this is happening, the only time I've seen this personally is when I've trimmed the history and the webpage still shows it (so I would expect it to happen).

[hobbit] Filtering event logs from windows sytems bbnt client
by a_stranberg＠hotmail.com 13 May '07

13 May '07

Thanks for the reply, I will have too weigh out taking a swag at this module vs. moving forward with deployment of BBWIN Is BBWIN considered production stable? I was also reading about the centralized updates, does this include ability for the agent to upgrade/udpate its self? This is a huge step for folks in my position with windows hosts in the hundreds with no central LDAP/AD, or even common logons it means manually touching each system for updates and config changes on the current bbnt client. I am really looking forward to getting bbwin roled out! > Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 18:57:40 +0200> To: hobbit at hswn.dk> From: henrik at hswn.dk> Subject: Re: [hobbit] Filtering event logs from windows sytems bbnt client> > On Wed, May 09, 2007 at 04:21:54PM +0000, Aaron Stranberg wrote:> > > > Hi All, Is it possible using the hobbit-clients.cfg > > file to centrally filter out windows eventlog messages by key word?> > Unfortunately, no.

Hobbit on a virtual machine?
by Brian.Thompson＠detroitdiesel.com 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi all, I was looking through the hobbit man-pages and I didn't see anything about running hobbit on a VM. We are currently doing this and we're having all kinds of issues with it. I don't know if it's an Ubuntu problem, a Hobbit problem, or a VMWare problem, but I thought I would check here first and see if anyone out there is running Hobbit on a VM, or even better, running it on Ubuntu on a VM and see if they've had any issues. Thanks, Brian Thompson

hobbit-alerts question

In Big Brother, there was an unmatched rule where you could send a message to anything that did not match a rule to a specified email address. How would I accomplish this in Hobbit?
