[hobbit] RE: Troubleshooting Alerts -- Having Problems
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 01 Jun '09

The problem with no SMS notification was a slow email server. So, SMS works fine. However, the message is way to short. For example, if it is alerting on a disk threshold, then all I get on the SMS is the server name, and the test name that is failing. I don't actually get the partition (filesystem) that exceeded the threshold. If I use PLAIN or just leave it at default, I get to much information and it overruns the poor little cell phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is what I have done: Hobbitserver.cfg # status view of a test should include a graph. TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tc p,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apa che,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bb test,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines ,zonestat" # This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage, # and the order in which they appear. GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,t cp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntp stat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest, bbproxy,hobbitd,ifstat,clock,lines,zonestat" Hobbitlaunch.cfg [rrddata] ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data \ --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log hobbitd_rrd \ --extra-tests=zonestat \ --extra-script=/apps/xymon/server/ext/rrd_data.pl \ --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd Have added to hobbitgraph.cfg the need stuff and also put rrd_data.pl into the ext directory. Looks like on the client everything is running just fine, I get a hobbit_zonestat file create the tmp with information in it. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
