I have a host "stfsvr1". It is clearly defined in bb-hosts. However, when running hobbitd_alert against the rule it states: "hostname not in include list" *My bb-hosts:* 53.xxx.xx.xxx stfsvr1 # ftp ssh *My hobbit-alerts:* HOST=stfsvr1 SERVICE=disk COLOR=red TIME=*:0630:1600 MAIL xxxxxx at gmail.com *The result of 'hobbitd_alert --test --debug stfsvr1 disk':* 00019028 2008-09-05 12:26:51 Matching host:service:page '--debug:stfsvr1:' against rule line 39 00019028 2008-09-05 12:26:51 Failed 'HOST=stfsvr1 SERVICE=disk COLOR=red TIME=*:0630:1600' (hostname not in include list) -- Chris Strzelczyk GCS Real Estate Real Estate Investment and Management (586) 770-9544 (248) 944-0506 (Business Hours Office Phone) chris at gcsrealestate.com

Devmon - Alert Color Question
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

Hi All, I know this is not the devmon list (I have sent there as well) but maybe others have run into this issue (or what I think is an issue). I have devmon setup and working correctly but have a situation that I don't know how to handle. Here is the situtation: 1. A new template for monitoring a Spectracom Netclock 9283 (NTP appliance) - I am running Hobbit 4.2.0 with all-in-one patch 2. Two branch (repeater) oids setup that go into a table for the message 3. There is 1 item in the branch of ntpTestName (GPS Antenna Sense) that I do not want included in the message or alerting, as it is always RED 4. I added an exception entry to remove GPS Antenna Sense (AND IT WORKED) 5. PROBLEM: The status page still shows RED even though GPS Antenna Sense is not displayed I need this page to show GREEN and not alert on GPS Antenna Sense but don't know how to remove that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! ## START CONFIG ## specs file ----------------------------------------- vendor : Spectracom model : Netclock 9283 snmpver : 1 sysdesc : Linux.*ntp.* ----------------------------------------- ntpdiag folder ----------------------------------------- >> oids file ----------------------------------------- ntpTestName : .1.3.6.1.4.1.18837.3.1.2.1.19.1.2 : branch ntpTestResult : .1.3.6.1.4.1.18837.3.1.2.1.19.1.3 : branch ----------------------------------------- >> message file ----------------------------------------- TABLE: Status|Test Name|Result {ntpTestResult.color}|{ntpTestName}|{ntpTestResult} ----------------------------------------- >> thresholds file ----------------------------------------- ntpTestResult : green : PASSED|CONSOLE : {ntpTestResult} ntpTestResult : red : FAILED|ERROR : {ntpTestResult} ----------------------------------------- >> exceptions file ----------------------------------------- ntpTestName : ignore : GPS Antenna Sense ----------------------------------------- >> transforms file ----------------------------------------- (EMPTY) ----------------------------------------- ## END CONFIG ## Geoff Hallford

No Procs Graph?
by Ann.Waters＠kp.org 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi Folks, I am new to Hobbit and noticed that when you drill down to a device's procs information, there is no graph but the magnifying glass shows up as if a graph should be there. I've looked through so many man pages, wiki entries, FAQs, etc. trying to figure this out that my head is spinning! And when I go to the Hobbit demo site and drill down to http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=procs and http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=sarge&SERVICE=procs, the procs graphs don't show up there either. So, have I been wasting my time trying to make that graph work or is there some magical trick that a master is willing to reveal to me? Any/all help will be appreciated! Thanks! Ann

Strange Rule Matching Issue
by chris4136＠gmail.com 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hello, I have a strange rule matching issue. I have a rule in my hobbit-alert file which looks like this: *HOST=* SERVICE=* MAIL $test COLOR=red REPEAT=10* The rule **SHOULD** only send when the disk (or any other service) reaches red color. I have disk defined in my hobbit-clients.cfg as: *DISK * 90 95 * I have a server that currently has a filesystem filled to 91%. The server name is 'stflnx1d'. I am getting the following emails: *yellow Wed Sep 3 08:52:24 EDT 2008 - Filesystems NOT ok &yellow /var (91% used) has reached the WARNING level (90%)* I ran the bin/hobbitd_alert and got the following: *00011596 2008-09-03 09:24:20 Matching host:service:page 'stflnx1d:disk:AIXDev' against rule line 138 00011596 2008-09-03 09:24:20 *** Match with 'MAIL $test COLOR=red REPEAT=10' *** 00011596 2008-09-03 09:24:20 Mail alert with command '/var/spool/mail/mrhobbit "Hobbit [12345] stflnx1d:disk CRITICAL (RED)" chris at xxxxx.com'* As you can see it matches the rule as RED even though I an the warning state of yellow for the disk on the server. It also sends me the email with Yellow status. It doesn't match any other rule. I tried setting the COLOR=yellow in the rule and it didn't match. Can anybody tell me why Hobbit thinks this is RED when it is really Yellow???? Thank You, -cs
