Adding vmstat1 to trends page?
by asparks＠doublesparks.net 31 May '07

31 May '07

The following post asked the question of how to add vmstat1, vmstat3, etc to the trends page: http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2007/01/msg00264.html I cannot find a response to this. Does one have to add TRENDS definitions to all hosts, or is there a way to specify these globally? I've tried adding "vmstat:vmstat1,vmstat3" or "vmstat1,vmstat3" to the GRAPHS variable, to no avail. Thanks in advance. -Alanadd -- Alan Sparks, UNIX/Linux Systems Integration and Administration <asparks at doublesparks.net>

Contribution -> Server-side login/generic script - Bash Version
by giovanni＠redix.com.br 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi everyone! Attached follows a "login"/generic server-side script made on bash shell-script language. This script is just like the perl version, just made in a generic way to be easily extensible... I made this version because i couldn't get the perl version to work on my Gentoo server with perl 5.8.8, not to mention that i know perl as much as i know how to build nuclear submarines ;-) With best regards, -- Giovanni M.

Hobbit 4.2.0

I have the main screen for hobbit up and running on a Linux 2 server. However when I click on any of the colored icons I get the message Page Not Found. Is this a permissions problem or is it that apache does not know where to look for the page?

In the rpm distribution built for Fedora 5, this is done in the hobbit-apache.conf file I mentioned earlier. It could also be done directly in the the httpd.conf file.

It sounds like you don't have the ScriptAlias set up for hobbit-cgi in the Apache config. "Linux 2" is not a recognizable distro to me, in Red Hat flavored distros this is done via /etc/httpd/conf.d/hobbit-apache.conf. Could be a permissions problem on the directory or files within, though. You typically want 755 on them. If they're readable but not executable by the hobbit user, you'll find browsers prompting about what you want to open "xxxxxx.sh" with.

Install problems
by fensterb＠ccri.net 30 May '07

30 May '07

I was recently introduced to Hobbit when searching for a replacement for BB. I have installed hobbit on an Ubuntu 7.04 server with almost no trouble except for the fact that I don¹t have a website generating. Hobbit starts with no errors and I see all of the processes running with a ps command. I wait for about 5 minutes and bring up a web browser and I don't get a page. At first I suspected I had made a mistake adding the alias's into the apache2.conf but everything there seems to be in order. What is more troubling to me is that when I check the www directory in my hobbit installation it is empty. hobbit at RESMACMGMT01:~/server/www$ ls -al total 40 drwxr-xr-x 10 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 . drwxr-xr-x 9 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 gifs drwxr-xr-x 3 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 help drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 html drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 menu drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 notes drwxrwxr-x 2 hobbit www-data 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 rep drwxrwxr-x 2 hobbit www-data 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 snap drwxr-xr-x 2 hobbit hobbit 4096 2007-05-25 13:55 wml So it looks to me that Hobbit simply isn't generating a web page at all. I am brand new to hobbit so I really don't know what else to check.

Problem with CLIENT option in bb-hosts
by jonescr＠cisco.com 29 May '07

29 May '07

I have a hobbit setup where I have in my bb-hosts: 1.2.3.4 virtual.mydomain.com # CLIENT:realhostname.mydomain.com ... 1.2.3.5 realhostname.mydomain.com # conn ssh disk cpu --- The problem I am experiencing is that the client data columns are displayed for "realhostname.mydomain.com", but they are not displayed for "virtual.mydomain.com". ---snip - bb-hosts man page --- CLIENT:hostname Defines an alias for a host, which will be used when identifying status messages. This is typically used to accomodate a local client that sends in status reports with a different hostname, e.g. if you use hostnames with domains in your Hobbit configuration, but the client is a silly Window box that does not include the hostname. Or vice versa. Whatever the reason, this can be used to match status reports with the hosts you define in your bb-hosts file. It causes incoming status reports with the specified hostname to be filed using the hostname defined in bb-hosts. ------ From reading this, the behavior I expect is that you can alias a host to another hostname, and you should get all the same data as the other hostname...is that wrong? P.S. I also tried using "NAME:hostname", but that had the effect of changing realhostname.mydomain.com to virtual.mydomain.com on other pages, which is not what I want. -Charles
