help with hobbit-alerts.cfg
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hi all, I wanted to set up hobbit alerting, and I wanted to set it up to both email one group and send text messages to another group. I verified the functionality is working completely for email, but the SMS alerts are being sent outside of the service window I set up... Please see below samples of the config file First I tried... PAGE=Location/Hosts MAIL group at company.com SERVICE=cpu,mem,ntp DURATION>1 REPEAT=15 COLOR=red RECOVERED TIME=W:0730:1630 SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/smsplus.sh number at txt.att.net FORMAT=SMS DURATION>3 REPEAT=30 COLOR=red RECOVERED And in testing, we would receive text pages beyond 4:30pm. So then I tried adding TIME=W:0730:1630 to the SCRIPT line, see below PAGE=Location/Hosts MAIL group at company.com SERVICE=cpu,mem,ntp DURATION>1 REPEAT=15 COLOR=red RECOVERED TIME=W:0730:1630 SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/smsplus.sh number at txt.att.net FORMAT=SMS DURATION>3 REPEAT=30 COLOR=red RECOVERED TIME=W:0730:1630 But same result, email alerts stop past 4:30pm. But we still get the text pages. Can someone clue me in on what I'm doing wrong with the text pages? Thanks, Taylor

Bind IP on the Client
by linuxmasterjedi＠free.fr 19 May '08

Hi, I would like to bind the IP of the client. I've seen "--listen" for Hobbitd but nothing about the client. My client is running on a linux server with several IPs in fetch mode. I will like to make it available on just one IP. Any ideas? Thanks by advance, LMJ

ghostlist
by philwild＠gmail.com 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hi, I asked this yesterday but without response so I'll try a different way. How does one remove a server from the ghostlist? I expected that all I would need to do is add it to the bb-hosts file but it continues to show up (using bb 127.0.0.1 ghostlist) A restart seems to work but there must be a better answer... Many thanks Phil -- Tel: 0400 466 952 Fax: 0433 123 226 email: philwild AT gmail.com

[hobbit] msgs on kern.log don't go away

I have had this problem when one of the temp files on the client in client/tmp was created by root when I tried starting the client with root. The tmp file can not be removed by the hobbit user, so the status on the messages file never changes and the messages continue to stay red. Once I deleted this tmp file and allowed the hobbit user to create the temp files it needs under its ID, the problem went away. .....Bruce -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Alberto Schutz [mailto:ricardo at redix.com.br] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 10:08 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] msgs on kern.log don't go away Hi, When a host is restarted, I get messages on kern.log showing infos about the disc arrays.

msgs on kern.log don't go away
by ricardo＠redix.com.br 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hi, When a host is restarted, I get messages on kern.log showing infos about the disc arrays. Ok, nothing wrong with that. The thing is that the messages don't go away. Right now the msgs column is red and the information is from May 2. So it's red since then. What I could understand is that hobbit uses logfetch with a configuration file to locate where in the log files it should look. I tried to remove the file used by logfetch on the client and restarted the client a few times. Hobbit recreated the file, but no success. It's running on a RHEL 4.

Has anyone installed hobbit server on Fedora 9 yet? I have installed the server via RPM before on Fedora 8 but now it is complaining about dependencies.
