Bug in custom graphs using existing rrds
by giovanni＠redix.com.br 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi everyone, I made a custom graph called "eth0/eth1/eth2/ethX", i've just used the RRD from ifstat (ifstat.eth0.rrd) and voilá! it works! A separate graph for every interface... But... This graphs don't appears in trends page, just if i see manually using hobbitgraph.sh. After a few hours of research, i've discovered that the trends problem is the name of the graph comparing with the name of the rrdfile... If i rename the graph to "ifstat" it works... or just symlinking ifstat.eth0.rrd to eth0.rrd. Hobbit uses a certain way to find out if the graph is active/exists or not, maybe is that the problem, the way to do that... comparing the graph name to the rrd file. Maybe someway to force a graph appears in trends page ? Don't know... For now i've just symlinked everything, lol. Any thoughts ? Henrik ? :-) With best regards, -- Giovanni M. Frainer

Single notification.
by rpeters＠columbia.com 31 May '07

31 May '07

Is it possible to set up hobbit to send only a singe notification/resolution message for a host that may have multiple issues? If I have a host that has 6 monitors, if the host goes down (or some other large problem that trips those monitors) there is a message sent for each of the 6. If I disable the monitoring on that host, I then receive 6 individual 'resolved' messages. This problem multiplies the more hosts I have being monitored. Is there a way to have only a single notification/resolution for an individual host that contains all the messages that would normally be sent separately? Also, when I disable a monitor for a host, can that action NOT send a 'resolved' message but still leave the resolved messages in place? Thanks in advance.

Hobbit doing DNS lookup instead of using bb-hosts address?
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 31 May '07

31 May '07

I often use ssh tunnels to avoid punching multiple firewall holes. A technique I use when binding the same port for multiple targets is to use an IP above 1 on the localhost network, e.g. ssh -L 127.0.0.218:25:192.168.22.218:25 -i hobbitkey hobbit at 192.168.22.218 ssh -L 127.0.0.123:25:192.168.22.123:25 -i hobbitkey hobbit at 192.168.22.123 So I'd expect to be able to use a bb-hosts entry like: 127.0.0.218 mail.subnet.net # smtp and use the tunnel for the test. But it seems that if mail.subnet.net can be resolved to an IP address via DNS, Hobbit will use the registered address instead of the one in its own bb-hosts file. So the test fails, which is exactly the point of having the tunnel. So to use the tunnel, I have to use a bogus name. Is this the correct behavior? Am I missing something? I understand that the scenario I give will result in a bogus conn test if the 127.0.0.218 address is used, and what to do about it if it matters.
