Aventail ssl VPN package?
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 02 Feb '09

I have a couple of Aventail SSL VPN appliances. It is, essentially, a hardened Debian 3.1 distro. Where would I be able to find a xymon .deb file that would run on it?

Is there a way to export the eventlog records? CSV ideally, but other forms would be fine. Thanks, Richard Crane ------- Haskins Laboratories / (203) 865-6163 X 275 / FAX (203) 865-8963 300 George Street/New Haven, CT 06511

Corruption in hist files
by stef.coene＠docum.org 02 Feb '09

Hi, I have a hobbit server running as vmware guest that changes it's clock at random when you reboot. The clock has jumped a few times to 2010. This gives problems with the hist files. I wrote a perl script to clean up the hist files: - delete lines in the future - fixes the layout so the last number on a line is the seconds between the current and the next line. If anyone is interested, let me know. I think it would be great if the trimhistory utility can do this also. Stef

Hobbit Protocol
by nfranken＠theunlimitedworld.co.za 02 Feb '09

Hi All I am interested in developing some specialized services for Hobbit (i.e monitoring M$ SQL servers). Where can I get some documentation on how to communicate with the hobbit server directly? Or in other words how do I get the hobbit protocol specification? Obviously if I am successful I would make this available to all. Regards Neil

[trunk] snmp: ifmib question
by obeau79＠gmail.com 02 Feb '09

Hi, I started playing with xymon's snmp (hobbit-snmpmibs.cfg and hobbit-snmphosts.cfg) Looks like i could get ride of mrtg ;) I would like to know is there is some sort of fancy cgi to view all the stuff graphed in ifmib ? (viewing graphs from a 48 ports switch, using the "trends" column is going to a painful..) Olivier

Does the server appear in the ghost clients list? The data is provided by the hobbitclient.sh script, which is (by default) run every 5 minutes by hobbitd from the hobbitclient task in hobbitlaunch.cfg. Regards, Buchan

Question about CPU monitoring on Windoooz Box.
by nfranken＠theunlimitedworld.co.za 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi All Just a quick question. I have hobbit monitoring a windows machine running BBWin. The machine has 8 CPU cores. I set up the cpu warning level to 5.0 and panic level to 7.0. The hobbit monitor then issues a warning and turns yellow/red, however when I look at the CPU by clicking the icon it reports the CPU as using something like 06%. What I want to know is the following: 1)The load monitoring in the hobbit-client.cfg is specified in percent thus 10.0 = 10%? Am I correct with this assumption. 2) Does hobbit change status based on the load of a individual cpu core or the total. Thus if one core goes over the threshold does it generate a warning or must all the core go over the threshold? Thanks for the help. Regards Neil "Questions are the answers"
