[hobbit] enable/disable

Oh, I misunderstood "Until Ok", as "Until I re-enable the checks", not as "Until the client reports check(s) successfully." So, I should disable with a Duartion of "9999 Weeks" 8-) Thanks, Ye-Fee --------------------------------- Make free worldwide PC-to-PC calls. Try the new Yahoo! Canada Messenger with Voice

Hi, Just to clarify, when I use "Enable/disable" from the Administration menu, would the Hobbit server completely ignore status reports from the client (assuming I select "All")? I observe that although all status turn "blue", some of them return to green after a while. The client host is still up, and hobbit client is still running, but I want Hobbit to ignore this machine for a period of time.

dig goes purple with snapshot
by matt＠oddprocess.org 18 Jun '07

18 Jun '07

I decided to try a snapshot or two on a test server, and so far everything seems to be working except for two things: dig seems to go purple on all hosts on the main status page, yet as far as I can tell, the tests are fine on the individual pages. I am using dig=www.hostname.com in bb-hosts. Url here: http://daubnet.dyndns.org:3000/hobbit/ hobbitd_channel has also gone purple, and I can't seem to find out what the problem is.

I tried looking at this but cannot find out where this setting is. Does anyone know where it could be.

Is 4.2.0 Hobbitfetch more stable than snapshot?
by charles.r.jones＠gmail.com 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

I'm currently running a recent snapshot (4.3.0-20061124) and having lots of problems with hobbitfetch randomly crashing 10+ times per day. Needless to say this is making my graphs look terrible. On the other hand, I have another installation of Hobbit that is running 4.2.0 (plus the all-in-one patch), that uses hobbitfetch for hundreds of hosts without any problems. So my question is, will downgrading my current install to 4.2.0 fix my Hobbitfetch problems? I did a diff on the 2 hobbitfetch.c versions and there is a slight difference - looks like the newer version has some added code to handle IP settings in the pulldata tag, but it doesnt look like anything that would cause crashes. I know Henrik is aware of this problem and I'm sure he will fix it when he can. I'm looking for a temporary band-aid until then though :)

DOWNTIME

I have the following line in my bb-hosts: 10.45.54.10 server.host.com # smtp dns-d:53 http://10.45.54.10 ms-sql-s:1433 ldaps:636 "DOWNTIME:ms-sql-s:*:0001:0400:Backups Running" badconn:1:1:1 route:fw-int.host.com Net:poller2 COMMENT:"Poll2:Prio2" We're trying to disable the ms-sql-s test from midnight to 4 am every night. It goes red instead of blue, and I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong with the DOWNTIME directive. Anyone have any insight? Tod Hansmann Network Engineer <http://www.directpointe.com/>
