I set it to the ip address of the hobbit server and restarted the client. Still nothing.

Here is a list of the log files on the client along with their location. There is nothing but Hobbit launch info in the clientlaunch.log file and nothing in the other one. /usr/local/libexec/hobbit/client/logs > ll total 32 -rw------- 1 root sys 484 Jun 1 10:19 clientlaunch.log -rw------- 1 root sys 6 Jun 1 10:19 clientlaunch.pid -rw------- 1 root sys 0 May 31 18:21 hobbitclient.log There are just two hosts in the bb-hosts file, this one and the server.

Sounds like you haven't got the Hobbit client running on that server, or at least - it isn't reporting into Hobbit with the right hostname. Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report and see if your host is listed there - it will be, if the client uses a different hostname than what you have in bb-hosts. In that case, put a CLIENT:clientname entry in bb-hosts so Hobbit knows how to connect the two names. If it's not in the Ghost client list, then you must check if the client is running at all, and if it can connect to the Hobbit server to send data (from the client, run "telnet HOBBITHOST 1984" and see if it will connect). BTW, there won't be an UP or LOAD column - these data are presented as part of the "cpu" status. And there's no need to restart anything when changing this configuration.

[hobbit] Custom graphs: Changing default "Last 48 hours" timeframe
by haertig＠avaya.com 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense. For the most part, the defaults work perfectly fine. It's just a few custom scripts I'm using that could benefit from a much closer look at the data. Setting the entire graph timeframe down as low as an hour or two in some cases. Also setting the vertical scale rather than allowing it to auto-scale as it currently does. I have one test where the data is mostly consistant but then once a day there's a huge spike. I don't care about the spike but the auto-scaling accomidates it and thus compresses the scale of the data I really want to look at. I could clamp the collected data to a max value in my custom script, but that just doesn't feel like the right way to handle things.

The webpage that calls these modules can set their own start/end times for the graphs, and the current snapshot (preliminary next version) has an enhanced web UI for the trends page that lets you choose whatever default(s) you prefer. > The defaults seem a bit odd ... They happen to match how the data is stored in the RRD files, something Hobbit has inherited from the LARRD add-on for Big Brother.

I have the hobbit client running on HPUX 11.11 and I can see three tests (conn, info, and trends). I have added the following to the hobbit-clients.cfg file on the server. HOST=dione.namerica.idexxi.com UP 1h LOAD 2.8 4.0 DISK * 85 95 Which appears before the defaults keyword. I restarted both the server and the client but still do not see the UP LOAD and DISK columns. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Robert Manocchia UNIX System Administrator IDEXX Laboratories 207 556-6860 EMail Robert-Manocchia at idexx.com

depends tag limitations
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 01 Jun '07

Hi, This is an extract of a previous reply from Henrik (http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2006/10/msg00141.html) ----------- > *It would be nice if the depend tag worked for any column/test type*. > I looked at using the "depends" tag, but it appears that *depends only > works for network checks*. Agreed. The dependency checks are currently implemented in the network test tool (bbtest-net), instead of in the hobbitd daemon - that is the reason why they only work for network tests. And that is purely for historical reasons. I expect to move all of the dependency code into hobbitd soon, together with the combination-test handling (the stuff currenly done by bbcombotest), that will eliminate this rather silly restriction. Regards, Henrik ----------- Are the above limitations been removed in the current snapshot? If not when is this going to be implemented? Thanks. Dominique UNIL - University of Lausanne
