bb2html incomplete

Hi, my bb2.html-page went incomplete. The history list is missing. The error occured after using trimhistory (which was working fine) but perhaps reasons are different. I can't find anything wrong in the serverlogs. History files are there (bb-hist.sh is working) Any ideas how to debug that? I am running 4.2.0 with all-in-one-patch on solaris 9 Thanks, Rolf Mit freundlichen Gruessen Rolf Schrittenlocher HRZ/BDV, Senckenberganlage 31, 60054 Frankfurt Tel. Sammelnr.

Will the Hobbit-perl-client 1.13 work with 4.2.2?
by roaldly＠gmail.com 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi! I want to monitor a Netapp server, and I've got Xymon 4.2.2 running. The next step is to install hobbit-perl-client 1.13. The README mentions that the Xymon 4.2.0 source needs to be patched for it to work correctly. WIll the patch in hobbit-perl-client 1.11 work with the 4.2.2 code as well, or do I have to go back to 4.2.0 (assuming it exists and is available)? -Roald

RRD and negative values
by doctor＠makelofine.org 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi, I wrote a test reporting voltages from my motherboard's sensors. Those values are positives and negatives (+12V, -12V). I use split NCV to get values in different RRD files, and almost everything is OK, but I don't have any value for the negatives voltages. I added a - before the numeric value, but I don't get any value in RRD file : user at host:~$ rrdtool dump ~xymon/data/rrd/host/hardware,Negative_12V_volt.rrd |head -50 <rrd> <version> 0003 </version> <step> 300 </step>  <lastupdate> 1232991020 </lastupdate>  <ds> <name> lambda </name> <type> GAUGE </type> <minimal_heartbeat> 600 </minimal_heartbeat> <min> 0.0000000000e+00 </min> <max> NaN </max>  <last_ds> UNKN </last_ds> <value> NaN </value> <unknown_sec> 20 </unknown_sec> </ds> Could someone told me how to work with negative values ?

mail headers in alerts
by annaj＠hi.is 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi all. It seems to be difficult to find any information about configuring headers in the alert messages sent by hobbit. in the file hobbitserver.cfg there are some lines that define the mail command: # For the hobbitd_alert module MAILC="mail" # Command used to send an e-mail with no subject MAIL="$MAILC -s" # Command used to send an e-mail with a subject At our site it is necessary to have a mail header like the following: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 The mail command itself does not seem to facilitate headers. Maybe someone knows about a sendmail wrapper that has a mail like interface. Unfortunately I do not know about the interface of the mail program, so I am not going to write this wrapper. -- Kindest Regards, Anna Jonna Ármannsdóttir, %& A: Because people read from top to bottom.

by gleonard＠progrexion.com 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

All, I am having an issue where my hobbit server thinks that every server it monitors has been rebooted, so I get blasted with sms messages when this happens. And none of the servers have actually rebooted nor has there been any network outages.. ideas?thoughts?

hobbit-alerts.cfg: behaviour of TIME and DURATION together
by spa＠syntec.co.uk 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

It seems the combination of TIME=W:0845:2355 and DURATION>15 in hobbit-alerts.cfg means the earliest an alert can be sent out is 9 am. Is this what you would expect? I would have expected these two rules to mean the test should be in an alarm colour for more than 15 minutes and be between the times of 08:45 and 23:55, weekdays. Instead it seems to be relating the DURATION with the time such that the DURATION only applies _during_ the TIME. If the current behaviour is intended, than will using EXTIME instead of TIME be what I want? Oh! There is no EXTIME?! I assumed there was but I see no documentation for it apart from Henrik's suggestion that he might add it: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00417.html Kind regards, SebA
