FW: [hobbit] Hobbit 4.2 and IOSTAT on AIX - followup question
by Mike.Wood＠kci1.com 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi All, I have IOSTAT working on AIX (!), with only a minor issue. I'm graphing by VG aggregate data. I have the iostat-vg.rrd files for all of the volume groups. My test server graphs reads and writes, 4 VG to a graph. However, I'm left with 4 empty graph slots at the bottom. All VG's are accounted for. Any idea what might cause this problem?

Hobbit Dev mailing list?
by Galen.Johnson＠sas.com 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hey, I don't recall if this has been put out there before but is there a dev list so users can post questions there regarding the unreleased builds and other development related content? I know Henrik is the primary developer but it might be nice to have a central list that only developer issues are posted so you don't have to filter through daily care and feeding emails when looking for issues (or posted fixes). Many projects typically have both a user and a developer list for these reasons. =G=

I need some assistance in understanding the YELLOW on the hobbit icon. This is the server xymon is running on. This is the only message that I can find that is an error message: Latest errormessages: Oversize status msg from 128.170.28.14 for slcts00:msgs truncated (n=801511, limit=262144) Not sure what can be done to correct the error? Can I bump up a value somewhere? Thanks, Tom Schmitt Senior IT Staff - R&D L-3 Communication Systems West 640 North 2200 West P.O.

[hobbit] downtime
by dddugan＠iastate.edu 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

All, Despite the current man page, downtime should be specified as one of these: DOWNTIME=day:starttime:endtime[,day:starttime:endtime] DOWNTIME=columns:day:starttime:endtime:cause[,columns:day:starttime:endt ime:cause] The code is not written to handle just four arguments (day:starttime:endtime:cause OR columns:day:starttime:endtime). Cheers.

XML Parsing

Does anyone know how I can go about parsing data out of an XML txt file and then including it into hobbit? That would be extremely cool if there is an easy way to do that.

rogue hobbitlaunch
by william.wagner＠ipacc.com 02 Dec '09

I have two xymon clients, both on solaris 10, Sun-Fire-T200, which somehow end up with two hobbitlaunch processes, the second process is always owned by '0001985' (see below). This does not appear to cause any problems, but I would like to determine how to fix this. any ideas? thanks # ps -ef|grep launch xymon 13324 1 0 13:40:24 ? 0:02 /export/home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/export/home/xymon/client/e 0001985 20748 1 0 14:42:15 ? 0:02 /export/home/xymon/client/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/export/home/xymon/client/e root 12330 12226 0 09:18:08 pts/2 0:00 grep launch

downtime
by doctor＠makelofine.org 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm monitoring a server that is running xymon client. This host is powered down every night at 11pm, and is powered up every morning at 9am. So, in bb-hosts file on xymon server, I added the following to this host description : toto 1.2.3.4 # test test1 test2 DOWNTIME=*:2300:0900:dodo But when the host goes down, I still have some red and purple test from it. I'd like to simply ignore its existence during the scheduled downtime. I tried to reverse my DOWNTIME definition as it : DOWNTIME=*:0900:2300:dodo But nothing changes. Tks for any help

[hobbit] hobbit monitoring summary report
by bb4＠richter-it.net 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hello, well you could do a ALLCLIENTS=`$HOBBITSERVERHOME/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard"|awk -F\| '{print $1}'|sort -u|wc -l` to get all clients that actually report to your server. As second step do a INSTCLIENTS=`$HOBBITSERVERHOME/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=cpu"|awk -F\| '{print $1}'|sort -u|wc -l` to get all clients that have client installed monitoring. I assume if a client is installed then it also reports a cpu status. Finally do CLIENTLESS=$((ALLCLIENTS-INSTCLIENTS)). However, clients polled via SNMP are also show the cpu status but have no client installed. But I hope to have helped you a bit. Cheers Torsten Hi, Is there better way of reporting this? Purpose: to report how many active client and client-less monitoring are done by hobbit. My method: 1. for client installed monitoring, count the number of /home/hobbit/data/rrd/*/vmstat.rrd that are recent (ie. newer than a date file created earlier, say 5am) 2. for client-less monitoring, count the number of latest /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*/conn/ or /home/hobbit/data/histlogs/*/http/ (if both exist, then count only one) that are recent (see def. above). (some clients may not be pingable; multiple web pages on the same server should be counted only once). Thanks, Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
