OSX 10.5 and nireport
by tim.rotunda＠twcable.com 14 Jan '08

Hi everyone, Its been awhile but I am back and will be around for a long time as I am now working with a large deployment of hobbit on Solaris. To get back into the swing things, I thought I would install hobbit server on my workstation. So I am building 4.1.2p2 on OSX 10.5.1 and have gotten to the point where the user is requested. Turns out configure.server is still using nireport. Has anyone fixed this in a beta or should I just go ahead and make the changes and submit it? Thanks and its good to be back!

[BUG] file: and dir: scale inconsistency
by charles.goyard＠orange-ftgroup.com 14 Jan '08

14 Jan '08

Hi, I found a bug in hobbit-4.2's "file" and "dir" graph handling. It expects KB but gets bytes for files. So when you mix files and dirs on the same graph, small files can appear bigger than large directories. I suggest adding a /1024 in client_config.c:check_file() rather than changing the "du -k" because it doesn't require reinstallation of all clients. But turning the unit to Bytes (by using a CDEF:*,1024) on the graph makes sense since the unit rrdgraph scales to makes sizes easiers to read.

Query: IPv6 support ?
by henrik＠hswn.dk 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

What are your views on IPv6 support in Hobbit ? How many of you have IPv6 enabled on your systems ? Do you have AAAA DNS records for your domains ? Although I haven't dug into the code, I think it would be fairly easy to make Hobbit work with IPv6 addresses and connections. But I don't want to do it unless someone really needs it. Oh - and this is obviously AFTER the 4.3 release. Regards, Henrik

Hobbit first timmer
by HS3082＠att.com 11 Jan '08

All, I found this string on the web and I too added the below lines into those files and it started working. I'm still having a small problem in that when I start Hobbit I get this: ./hobbit.sh start 2008-01-10 13:24:27 xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH Hobbit started Hi Mark, thanks - it works like a charme. Rolf Add this to ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg and hobbitserver.cfg: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib:/usr/sfw/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH It will take care of the web and server processes. Also if you compile with -R<path> it will hardcode the paths into the binary. Cheers, Mark Rolf Schrittenlocher wrote: Hi, finally I got hobbit running by adding the paths for pcre,larrd and other libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .profile (solaris 9). I don't understand why this was necessary as I provided these in the Makefile, but it is working. Now I have the same problem with the webpages. Detailed webpages fail, the apache log says: ld.so.1: hobbitsvc.cgi: fatal: libpcre.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory [Tue Jan 03 11:50:11 2006] [error] [client 141.2.164.30] Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh, referer: http://lbs... I don't like to make a .profile with the LD_LIB settings for the apache user . Is there another way of providing those paths in an environtment.cfg or something?
