Trying to find a sybase monitoring client that works with ASE 15.0.1
by Anne-Marie.Lidzen＠vattenfall.com 28 Aug '07

Hi! On the site for BigBrother (link from hobbit) i found a new version of bb-sybase_ase1.2.sh. This script calls on a sql-script called sp__dbmon.sql. The problem is that I can´t find a new version of this sql-script. The old version (came with bb-sybase_ase.1.1.sh) of sp__dbmon doesn´t work with ASE 15.0.1. It shows wrong values for usage in Size (MB) Free (MB) Used (%) propably because of changes in structure for envolved system tables. Do anyone know where to find a newer version of sp__dbmon.sql. Regards Ann-Marie

monitoring mounted fs
by andreas.kuntzagk＠mdc-berlin.de 27 Aug '07

Hi, I'm still having trouble monitoring for mounted filesystems. The usb-mounted filesystems I now do using a custom script because I had to check for some things anyway. But now I want to check for an NFS-mounted filesystem. To make things easier, I just created a file /mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE and check for the existance of that file on clients. I put a file:/mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE entry in client-local.cfg and a FILE /mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE in hobbit-clients.cfg Now the file column switched from grey to green, if I click it I get a page which shows /mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE as green and if I click that I get file:/mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE] ERROR: Permission denied I tried to execute 'stat /mount_point/DO_NOT_DELETE' on the client as user hobbit and it worked, so the permissions should be set right. I tried to find some log about what happened but without luck. Any suggestions? Andreas

I have a huge text file(20M) that need to be monitored for offending keywords. Can I still use server-side-processing hb client ? or I need use client-side-processing hb client ? Will server-side-processing hb client send 20M file to hobbit server ? T.J. Yang _________________________________________________________________ Tease your brain--play Clink!

This's a browser/server architecture, we have Crystal Report 8 used(10.2.10.7). One IE browser with URL "10.2.10.7/tcard/tempSchl.rpt?user0 at c.rpt=rpt_read&password0 at c.rpt=rpt_read&user1=rpt_read&password1=rpt_read&init=actx" on client launched and called Crystal Report Viewer, a new IE window would be opened. How can we monitor this new IE window or content in this new IE window? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Customer enable/disable script
by gwege＠infomanage.net 24 Aug '07

Hey guys, I've successfully configured the alternate page sets for some of my client, it works great, however I have a few client that I would like to have the ability to enable/disable their hosts. I can get the cgi scripts to work, however all of the hosts in bb-hosts file appear in the host list. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? What are my options? Thanks, Greg

monitoring ssh
by dan.simoes＠gmail.com 23 Aug '07

I know how to monitor the service availablity on port 22. I'm wondering if anyone has actually made a script that connects, logs in, writes a file (say with scp) and only then returns a green status. We got burned with an ssh keys problem so I have to deploy something like this.

We had some system network issues recently and are looking for proactive ways to alert out NOC of them. Would it be possible to have hobbit alert on packet errors or collisions that have increased by some threshold number? # netstat -i Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Queue lo0 8232 loopback localhost 1700096752 0 1700096752 0 0 0 eri0 1500 x.x.com x.x.com 1120761762 17230093 1300984718 3 0 0 Thanks, John
