Problem with external script and RRD-Graphs
by camorae＠googlemail.com 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi guys, im trying to monitor some mysql performances like slowqueries, threads, queries per second, etc. trought an external script. So far i get all results from the client (Big Brother-Client) unless the graphs. Using big brother (server) i get 3 graphs (slowqueries, threads and queries per second) but after migrating BB to Hobbit i cant get any graph anymore. I already did all steps from "How to setup custom graphs" but its not working. Did i forget something / did something wrong or is it with the BB-Client not possible? After editing the hobbitserver.cfg and hobbitgraph.cfg i had some confrontations with: how should i configure the parameters of the hobbitserver.cfg and hobbitgraph.cfg if i want 3 diferent graphs in one page, when the graph name has to be the same as the column name? when trying to get the only graph into the browser i get only an 1x1 Pixel graph... has anybody any idea?? TIA

[hobbit] xymon-4.3.0-beta2 Compile Errors
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 28 May '09

28 May '09

The CSW packages are the same ones from Solaris Freeware, just in a common directory we use here. I would not know where that variable would be in other files. Is there a code fix for this on Solaris platforms?

(we do not use CSW packages). The problem is Xymon tries to define S_NONE as an enum in enventlog.h, but this constant is already defined in /usr/include/sys/signal.h. Maybe S_NONE is defined somewhere else in your environement? Dominique To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

[re-post] xymon notifications
by joe＠tmsusa.com 28 May '09

28 May '09

We've been running big brother for some years, and we monitor several hundred servers in 2 data centers. We are currently running a pilot of xymon (4.3.0 svn), and just as with big brother, we have redundant monitoring servers. A xymon server in california monitors hosts in both california and arizona, and a xymon server in arizona monitors hosts in both data centers as well. For the most part, xymon is performing well, but it is a bit of an annoyance with xymon that we get duplicate notifications, as each xymon server sends it's own notifications for every event. Big brother sends a single notification for each event, as controlled by the alerting failover. Is there any way to suppress the duplicate notifications from xymon? Joe

Hobbit 4.2.0 to Xymon 4.3.0 Beta2 custom graphs fail
by wrichardson＠llbean.com 27 May '09

27 May '09

I have done a new install of Xymon 4.3.0 beta2. I have copied my old hobbit 4.2.0 bb-host file over and rrd files. I then made the normal changes to /home/xymon/server/etc files. All seems to be working fine except for some custom rrd graphs. I have verified that the entries match from my working hobbit 4.2.0 install looking at hobbitgraph.cfg and hobbitserver.cfg all is good. I am using ncv. Looking at Xymon's /var/log/xymon/rrd-data.log: 2009-05-27 11:18:56 RRD error updating /home/xymon/data/rrd/systemx/ANI.rrd from 10.10.10.10: tmplt contains more DS definitions than RRD looking at Hobbit's /var/log/hobbit/rrd-data.log: shows no errors "and the graphs are working" Looking at the ANI.rrd file using the "rrdtool info" command I see all of the DS definitions are correct and match on both Hobbit and Xymon. Just to make sure I did a tcpudump and captured what the client was sending and again its a match for whats in the rrd file. I see no additonal DS definitions being sent and again this is working in Hobbit just not Xymon 4.3.0 beta2. Any thoughts? Bill Richardson

logic error in build/rrd.sh?
by Craig.Cook＠carquest.com 27 May '09

27 May '09

A co-worker discovered my compile issue with Hobbit 4.3.0-beta2. Looks like it has been an issue since 4.2.0 though. This is a for loop. The last found instance of librrd.so is used, not the first. Also, the search path is hard coded. for DIR in /opt/rrdtool* /usr/local/rrdtool* /usr/local /usr /usr/pkg /opt/csw /opt/sfw /usr/sfw do if test -f $DIR/include/rrd.h then RRDINC=$DIR/include fi if test -f $DIR/lib/librrd.so then RRDLIB=$DIR/lib fi if test -f $DIR/lib/librrd.a then RRDLIB=$DIR/lib fi if test -f $DIR/lib64/librrd.so then RRDLIB=$DIR/lib64 fi if test -f $DIR/lib64/librrd.a then RRDLIB=$DIR/lib64 fi if test -f $DIR/lib/libpng.so then PNGLIB="-L$DIR/lib -lpng" fi if test -f $DIR/lib/libpng.a then PNGLIB="-L$DIR/lib -lpng" fi if test -f $DIR/lib64/libpng.so then PNGLIB="-L$DIR/lib64 -lpng" fi if test -f $DIR/lib64/libpng.a then PNGLIB="-L$DIR/lib64 -l The current workaround is something like this Manually edit the Makefile and add something like this ifdef PCRELIBS # PCRE settings PCRELIBS = -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre -lpng endif ifdef RRDLIBS RRDLIBS = -L/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib -lrrd -L/usr/lib Endif Craig
