Compling client on CentOS 5.1 and the 'make install' errors out =( I was able to compile the client on CentOS 5, I'm using GCC shown here: Installed Packages Name : gcc Arch : i386 Version: 4.1.1 Release: 52.el5.2 Size : 8.7 M Repo : installed Summary: Various compilers (C, C++, Objective-C, Java, ...)

Monitoring linux quotas
by josh＠imaginenetworksllc.com 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

I've got a server that I have implemented linux quotas. I'm interested in knowing if any one out there has any kind of an ext script made already that can monitor this for me. The feature I'm mostly interested in is notifying me if a user has broken his soft limit. This will give me time to contact them before they reach their hard limit and calm hobbit down. I'm not really looking forward to making one, but if I have to I will tough it up! Hopefully someone out there is nice enough to have both already prepared one as well as willing to share it! Thanks in advance!

generating a page with the same graph type but from different hosts
by szymon＠bakowski.net 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hello, I was wondering if that would be possible using Hobbit, to generate a page with only one particular graph (for example CPU) across all servers available on the particular page. It would look like "trends" but not for particular server with different types of graphs but one particular type of graphs across many servers available on a particular sub page. Do I need prepare my own sort of page/template or it is somehow possible to define through bb-hosts file (can`t find it in documentation). Kind regards Szymon Bakowski

RRD file step setting
by David.Stuffle＠adesa.com 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

Hi, I have custom scripts sending updates every 1 minute. Is there a way to tell Hobbit to create RRD files with a --step setting of something other than 300 only for certain test names? The hobbit-rrddefinitions.cfg works great, but I can't figure out how to change the step setting to 60 seconds other than manually recreating the RRD file -- which then defeats the purpose of the hobbit-rrddefinitions.cfg.
