perl script
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 13 May '09

13 May '09

I've added the perl script example that Henrik provided late January to the tutorials page on The Shire. http://www.trantor.org/theshire/doku.php/tutorials:ssmodule Hopefully, Henrik won't mind. (I may be "borrowing" some of Henrik's content for the other tutorials yet to be written...of course, if someone would like to volunteer the tutorials I'd be happy to consider them for addition). If you have other ideas about tutorials or FAQs, please let me know. I'm trying to make more time for the site (interestingly, I showed a manager from one of our other groups Hobbit in passing one day...he just happened to have been looking for an easy to setup/configure monitoring solution...he's been singing the praises of Hobbit since) =G=

Possible bug in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2
by Jan.Gilhooley＠sheffieldpct.nhs.uk 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi, First thanks for an excellent product - we think its a fantastic thing to give us a "heads up" to potential problems. I have just moved from Hobbit 4.2.0 to Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 and simply moved across the bb-hosts file from the hobbit to the xymon directory (both installed on the same server) and found that although everything is working fine the comments field seems to being ignored by xymon. Here is a fragment of our bb-hosts: group Netware Servers 10.182.186.5 wigan.xsheffield.nhs.uk # COMMENT:"West Court Site Server" This appears on xymon's webpage as: wigan.xsheffield.nhs.uk conn:green:19h33m info:green:........ I cant find anything in hobbitserver.cfg (or indeed in bbgen) to turn on or off comments processing so I was wondering if it was a bug? Interestingly on your webpage's example bb-hosts you have this line: group-compress <font size="+1">Wireless</font> 172.16.11.1 wifi.hswn.dk # COMMENT:"Wi-Fi router" nobb2 and again on the actual web page (http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/services/services.html) no comment is displayed.

Hi, How do I check (log files or commands) to see what data have been arriving at the server? Just want to trace to see what data are arriving and being stored in the rrd's. When I query, the rrd db data look incorrect. # on client, I'm sending custom data to the server: $BB $BBDISP "data $MACHINE.vmstat2 green `date` xvar xval yvar yval " Thank you, __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Uptime limit on a Machine
by Gudmundur.O.Ingvarsson＠landsbankinn.is 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi list I'm having a hard time finding any configuration value that can change the 365 days limit on how long a host has been up. I cannot find this in the server config, host config or anywhere else for that matter. My problem is that Hobbit is alarming me that a machine (several in fact) have been up for more than 365 days (windows server incidently). Anyone know how to change this limit and where? ___________________________________________ Guðmundur Örn Ingvarsson Landsbankinn Unix Infrastructure Administrator Core Systems IT - CS IT Sími / Tel.: (+354) 410 6730 Farsími / Mobile: (+354) 820 5074 Fax: (+354) 410 3032 gudmundur.ingvarsson at landsbanki.is<mailto:gudmundur.ingvarsson at landsbanki.is> www.landsbanki.is<http://www.landsbanki.is/> NBI hf.

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to provide a restricted view to my colleagues : for example only a couple of subpages. Is it possible ? Where I have to look ? Thanks by advance,
