N00b starting to use Hobbit
by johan.boye＠latecoere.fr 18 Sep '07

18 Sep '07

Hello, I'm starting to use Hobbit under the advice of a friend but I'm quite a newbie with this tool. I would like to know where I could find those information, maybe a tut on a website or so : - Monitoring processes like Oracle, NIS, Apache, SAP or so (I think PROC is the way to go) - Specific Oracle database monitoring (how run specific .sql ?) - Disk space (I think DISK should be used) - Dedicated error message in log file (look for specific string, certainly LOG) - Monitor NetApp filer space disk via snmp (Don't know how) I have a server running hobbit and I install hobbit client with server-side configuration. I wrote custom config in server/etc/bb-hosts but it seems the configuration is take in place. For example, I've setup: etc/hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=foobar UP 30m LOAD 0.5 10.0 DISK * 50 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 PROC ypbind 1 -1 yellow PROC nfsd 1 -1 yellow And etc/bb-hosts 192.168.7.16 foobar # conn bbd ssh NAME:"Foobar" DESCR:"VMWARE:Test Linux" cpu files But I don't have any alert when a ypbind or nfsd processes get down, do you know why ? Thanks a lot for any answers Johan "Les informations contenues dans ce message electronique peuvent etre de nature confidentielles et soumises a une obligation de secret.

Critical Systems view loading problem
by gendalia＠gmail.com 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

I'm running Hobbit 4.2.0 with the allinone patch on NetBSD 3.x. I've started making use of the critical systems setup at work, but after encouraging all my co-workers to start using it, I've run into a problem. I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" and the error log shows "Premature end of script headers: hobbit-nkview.sh". My problem seems to be related to a test being yellow right now, and right now being outside of the parameters of when the machine/test combo is critical. If I change the critical time for the event from "|W:0800:1700|" to "||", the critical systems page comes up fine. If I put the time constraints back, the page fails to come up again. It started failing after 1700, although I didn't notice it for about 15 minutes. Is anyone else seeing this problem? -Tracy

ports flip-flop between clear and green?
by mikeegg1＠mac.com 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

I'm working with the default hobbit client on linux. I have tests on several hosts that flip-flop between clear and green (ports and file). Should I define at least a single test in hobbit-client.cfg or what? Mike

Disk monitoring
by c.rehberger＠oclcpica.org 17 Sep '07

Hello, I'm running a hobbit server and installed a new hobbit client on a new machine. Now I run into problems with the disk monitoring. The disk is filled up to 93% on the new host "nestor" but on the monitoring site I get always a yellow page. The entry for nestor in the "hobbit-clients.cfg" on the server shows, that only the default value is working for that new client. The client on galway works pretty fine! On the same time I get error messages on the client machine in the "hobbitclient.log" file: Failed to get a message, terminating Any idea? Here's the "hobbit-clients.cfg" file of the server: ... HOST=galway # These are the values for galway.Sisis.de DISK * 97 99 PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]5000)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=ASE TRACK=ase PROC /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd 5 20 TEXT=HTTP-ContentDM PROC /usr/local/sisis-pap/apache/bin/httpd 5 20 TEXT=HTTP-sisis-pap FILE /home/sisis/hugo MODE=444 yellow LOG /var/log/messages %hugolein color=red HOST=nestor # These are the values for nestor.Sisis.de DISK * 95 98 DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults.

AS400 Hobbit client
by mailinglistbh＠gmail.com 17 Sep '07

Hi all, do anybody use a client on OS400 to report status data to Hobbit Server? I've found only one on www.deadcat.net but it's very old and doesn't do anything special. Thanks RB
