Problem with Links after doing a find host and on info column
by forums＠triadbiz.rr.com 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I need to get some help with a very confusing issue. I have hobbit setup with around 1200 hosts and I have split my bb-hosts file off into multiple site hosts for easier management. But I am having a problem with one site. Some of the links that show up when I do a find hosts show up under another hub site. I tried stopping hobbit and went in and removed all data from all hosts and also removed the respective directories in the www directory and still have the same issue. Here is what my bb-hosts file looks like. x.x.x.x gsonc-spg-ops-1 # bbd http://ops1/ trap TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat1|vmstat5,la:la1 x.x.x.x gsonc-spg-ops-2 # badconn:1:1:5 x.x.x.x gsonc-spg-ops-3 # badconn:1:1:5 include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/archdale include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/high_point include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/mt_airy include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/spring_garden include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/asheboro include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/it_dept include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/north_150 include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/spring_garden_dhub include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/bellemont include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/kernersville include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/north_davidson include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/stokes include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/bermuda_run include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/king include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/rural_hall include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/thomalex include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/dobson include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/lee_st include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/sapp_rd include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/wentworth include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/east_29 include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/maple_rd include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/south_county include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/westridge include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/elkin include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/mocksville include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/south_davidson include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/winston-salem include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/glencoe include /opt/hobbit/server/etc/configs/Yadkinville Here is an example of a find host for hosts in "spring_garden" config file: gsonc-spg-bsg-2 Spring <http://ops1/monitor/spring_garden/comvod/servers/#gsonc-spg-bsg-2> Garden/Commercial VOD/Server's gsonc-spg-hps Spring <http://ops1/monitor/spring_garden/comvod/servers/#gsonc-spg-hps> Garden/Commercial VOD/Server's gsonc-spg-hps-1 Spring <http://ops1/monitor/spring_garden/comvod/servers/#gsonc-spg-hps-1> Garden/Commercial VOD/Server's gsonc-spg-hps-2 Spring <http://ops1/monitor/spring_garden/comvod/servers/#gsonc-spg-hps-2> Garden/Commercial VOD/Server's gsonc-spg-e-cpl-1 Archdale/DWDM/East <http://ops1/monitor/archdale/dwdm/east/#gsonc-spg-e-cpl-1> Ring gsonc-spg-e-cpl-2 Archdale/DWDM/East <http://ops1/monitor/archdale/dwdm/east/#gsonc-spg-e-cpl-2> Ring gsonc-spg-e-5200-1 Archdale/DWDM/East <http://ops1/monitor/archdale/dwdm/east/#gsonc-spg-e-5200-1> Ring As you can see that some of these hosts are showing up under there correct config file for Spring Garden and others show up under Archdale.

'red' status not showing up in history

I have a test that's gone 'red' multiple times today. I know this because I've seen it in the website and alerts have been sent to me. Yet if I look in ~hobbit/data/hist, ~hobbit/data/histlogs, or use the hsitory CGIs in the web GUI, it shows that it hasn't been 'red' today, rather that it's been green for >2 days. This isn't the case though, as It's gone 'red' 6 times today alone (2 are repeated e-mails, 2h delay). from alert e-mails: bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [55828] red Thu Mar 6 09:43:03 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [271768] red Thu Mar 6 07:47:06 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [271768] red Thu Mar 6 05:51:35 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [811858] red Thu Mar 6 05:11:22 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [811858] red Thu Mar 6 03:15:51 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [694717] red Thu Mar 6 02:10:28 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [738302] red Thu Mar 6 01:45:16 2008 bspdm07.edc.cingular.net:sgsn_procs red [648888] red Thu Mar 6 01:20:08 2008 yet from the logs: ~hobbit/data/hist:# tail bspdm07,edc,cingular,net.sgsn_procs Tue Feb 26 11:01:29 2008 red 1204052489 12385 Tue Feb 26 14:27:54 2008 green 1204064874 1506 Tue Feb 26 14:53:00 2008 red 1204066380 301 Tue Feb 26 14:58:01 2008 green 1204066681 549212 Mon Mar 3 23:31:33 2008 red 1204615893 1521 Mon Mar 3 23:56:54 2008 green 1204617414 592 Tue Mar 4 00:06:46 2008 red 1204618006 302 Tue Mar 4 00:11:48 2008 green 1204618308 302 Tue Mar 4 00:16:50 2008 red 1204618610 1206 Tue Mar 4 00:36:56 2008 green 1204619816 ~hobbit/data/histlogs/bspdm07_edc_cingular_net/sgsn_procs:# ls -rt | tail Tue_Feb_26_11:01:29_2008 Tue_Feb_26_14:27:54_2008 Tue_Feb_26_14:53:00_2008 Tue_Feb_26_14:58:01_2008 Mon_Mar_3_23:31:33_2008 Mon_Mar_3_23:56:54_2008 Tue_Mar_4_00:06:46_2008 Tue_Mar_4_00:11:48_2008 Tue_Mar_4_00:16:50_2008 Tue_Mar_4_00:36:56_2008 So where did my reds go? ...

hobbit server restart
by Robert-Manocchia＠IDEXX.com 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I had the hobbit server moved from one virtual machine to another. Before that happened I stopped the hobbit client and hobbit server and halted the box. I then restarted the hobbit server and hobbit client. I am receiving alerts fine but the web page will not come up. Is there anything I missed or did wrong in the restart of the hobbit server.

Problems with files, msgs, and ports
by Dirk.Kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi, since I installed the latest hobbit snapshot someday in February, my hobbit server had serious problems with files, msgs, and ports tests. The color of several hosts frequently changed from green to clear or purple, even when those hosts never examined these tests. When I clicked on the msgs icon of host1, for example, I saw the messages of host2, etc. Everything was totally messed. I switched back to the snapshot from November (Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20071026) and everything is fine again. Did you change something in the configuration of hobbit or is this a bug? -- Regards, Dirk Kastens Universitaet Osnabrueck, Rechenzentrum (Computer Center) Albrechtstr. 28, 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Tel.: +49-541-969-2347, FAX: -2470
