[hobbit] no iostat rrds?
by craig＠cookitservices.com 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

iostat graphs on Solaris in hobbit are broken. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/07/msg00335.html Even after these patches there seems to be a parsing issue on some filesystems. ie. some filesystems get a solid graph line, some filesystems are a broken line. "Random" data seems to be missing from the rrd's. I have not located where the bug is yet though. Craig Cook

Devmon device support, Cross post between lists
by chrisw＠supranet.net 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Hello, Chiming in on some info on Devmon. While primarily targeted to the Devmon list, it may be useful to hobbit/devmon users who don't subscribe to that list. The cisco-7206 template works perfectly fine on a Cisco 7500. I'm sure it works on a 7200 as well. I also have an old 7000 here, but I don't want to boot it up to test. Anyway, it may be in the best interest to rename 7206 to 7200, and just copy its templates to a 7500 folder, or genericly rename the whole thing cisco-7000. Also, there is a typo in the USING doc: http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/docs/USING?revision=3… This line is listed: DEVMON:tests(cpu),thresh(cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y=50;r=90) But it should be: DEVMON:tests(cpu),thresh(cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y:50;r:90) It's correct in the details furter down the page, but the equal symbols should be colons near the top when it first mentions thresh(). Lastly, and this is very minor, Devmon doesn't properly detect administratively down interfaces in all cases. On one router, I am using subinterfaces as follows: GigabitEthernet0/2 GigabitEthernet0/2.1 GigabitEthernet0/2.2 GigabitEthernet0/2.3 ..etc.. If I shut down Gi0/2, 'sh ip int br' shows its subinterfaces administratively down, but devmon doesn't detect that- one has to go into each subinterface and shut them down as well. It does appear that the OID that checks admin status (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7) does indeed say up, which is why it's showing red: ifAdminStatus.89 = INTEGER: up(1) I couldnt find any alternate OID to report ifAdminStatus, so short of putting in code to check parent interface status, it probably couldn't be considered a bug, but I thought I'd mention it. --Chris

Invalid DS name

Hi, I am getting the following "Invalid DS name" error in rrd-status.log while testing what I can do with hobbit_snmpcollect running 20080405 snapshot.

EXHOST regular expression syntax
by annaj＠hi.is 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

In my University, all hosts on a page run a dsmc process. However, there are exceptions from the rule. In the hobbit-clients.cfg file, The rule that used to work is like this: PROC dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is Now, yet another host is also exempt from the rule, so I tested the following rules: PROC dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is EXHOST=bestla.rhi.hi.is PROC dsmc EXHOST=%.jotunn.rhi.hi.is,bestla.rhi.hi.is Both rules give unexpected results. So I expect that the rule should be written as a single regular expression, but I do not know the syntax. Can anybody refer me to a description of the syntax. -- Kindest Regards, Anna Jonna Ármannsdóttir, %& A: Because people read from top to bottom.

How to turn on debug mode
by rmcgraw＠purdue.edu 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

I need to print some debug information and the routines that I am interested have the subroutine dbgprintf which will print the necessary information that I need to see. Dbgprintf() is found in lib/errormsg.c. This seem to be turned on and off by a debug parameter in errormsg.c. Is there any other way to turn on and off debugging other than recompiling errormsg.c?

type of message
by philwild＠gmail.com 21 Apr '08

Hi hobbit lovers, I have a requirement to include some decision making into the hobbit-alerts configuration file. For a particular group, I need to make a decision on if an email should be sent or an sms should sent based on the result of running an external script (e.g. connect to the corporate telephone list and check if a mobile phone number is listed against a user with a certain email address. If I get back a phone number, then I want to send an sms, otherwise, just send an email). Now my question is this... When hobbit executes the script after detecting an event, it can not determine if it will be sending an email or an sms until AFTER the SCRIPT has commenced execution. Currently, I have FORMAT=TEXT in the configuration which will give me the full message content in the environment variable BBALPHAMSG. If I determine I can send an SMS, I would prefer the short message type. Does anyone know of a way to do this? My guess is that I will need to write my own TEXT2SMS conversion script that will give me a short message as close to the message format that hobbit creates for sms's, or, hack the source to create a second ENV variable BBSMSALPHAMSG containing the short message format so I have access to both of them? Any thoughts? Cheers Phil -- Tel: 0400 466 952 Fax: 0433 123 226 email: philwild AT gmail.com
