Need help on telnet fine tune in bb-services
by tj_yang＠hotmail.com 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I have 3 login servers(login1-3), login1 is in trouble (taking long long time to see the prompt and then failed) The current configuration in bb-services for telnet monitoring is like following, [telnet] options banner,telnet port 23 Above configuration will make all three servesr show up as green because telnetd answer the poll. I am looking for better configuration option to fail the login1 testing since it is failing the telnet service to telnet clients. Also both login2 and login3 are normal but only on login3's telnet hb page, I see the full login banner. On login2, I only see the OS version number(1st line of banner ?), why the difference ? R1: bb-services manpage, T.J.

[hobbit] client-local.cfg not propagating
by rpeters＠columbia.com 02 Jul '07

For what it's worth, I have the answer, at least part of one. What I didn't mention was that all my clients report to 2 hobbit servers (list of IP's defined for BBDISPLAYS). We're in parallel for a temporary time period. The client was only set up on one of the two servers. I just added it to the second server and the problem went away. The client is apparently only communicating with one of the servers (first in the BBDISPLAYS list) where it can download the files/msgs info and it wasn't the one I was working with. -----Original Message----- From: Peters, Ron [mailto:rpeters at columbia.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 9:34 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] client-local.cfg not propagating The client actually isn't sending information about these files. As I understand the script (hobbitclient.sh) that is running (on the client), it calls the logfetch utility that gathers the information about the files/msgs I want. What I'm seeing is that the hobbitclient.sh should create the .../hobbit/tmp/logfetch.uname.cfg that contains the list of files that should be monitored. This part isn't happening. Not sure how the list of files is gathered from the hobbit server. I'd like to see some debug from that process to find out what is wrong. More thoughts? Thanks again... -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2007 10:24 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] client-local.cfg not propagating On Mon, Jun 25, 2007 at 02:58:14PM -0700, Peters, Ron wrote: > I have a client that isn't receiving the client-local.cfg information.

Watch out - the client-local.cfg settings only determine which files the client will report data for. To actually get a real (green/red/yellow) status message, you need to configure hobbit-clients.cfg as well, telling Hobbit how to analyze the data it gets about these files. It sounds like you're on the right track - the client is sending data about the files you want to watch - but you just need to configure the analysis part of Hobbit.

Depends tag in bb-hosts and displayed result behind "info" icon?
by dortsen＠gmail.com 02 Jul '07

Hi All, When I specify a dependency in the bb-hosts file, is there some place where I can verify that the depends tag is correctly interpreted? An alert as specified in hobbit-alerts.cfg shows a table in the webpage (when you click in the info icon) for that specific host when an alert is sent to whom. Is there something similar visible for the depends tag? Or is there really no other option then finding out whether I made no typos when something really happens? Thanks in advance, Dennis

Hi, Where do you set the warn levels within hobbit ? I want to set the time period to 100ms for the conn service so that it shows yellow. Can you set this warn level per device or per group of devices ? Thanks, Ger.
