alerting with combo question
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi ! I've got an difficult problem with an alerting-rule, which my customers expect .. .. unfortunately i'm afraid that it couldn't work, maybe someone on the list got an idea .. :-) I've got a lustere-quota-check which should run on 4 host for reliability reasons ... If everything is ok, the output looks on each host like Tue Nov 30 11:13:35 CET 2010 - LUSTRE Mount(s) on tcx060 OK filesystem summary: 78.2T 58.0T 16.3T 74% /scratch/hh/lustre/atlas filesystem summary: 19.9T 18.7T 233.8G 93% /scratch/zn/lustre/atlas If the quota will be reached, the output got additional informations of all user-directory and there size ... till this point all easy .. Now, my customers wants to get only one alert with the additional informations of all user-directory and there size and not four times for each host I've tested it with the bbcombotest.cfg like e.g. AtlasLustre.lustre-atlas = (tcx040.lustre\-atlas + tcx060.lustre\-atlas + tcx080.lustre\-atlas + tcx120.lustre\-atlas ) >= 4 This Alarm works of course, but i've got only this alert-message Red Mon Nov 29 14:37:07 2010 (tcx040.lustre\-atlas+tcx060.lustre\-atlas+tcx080.lustre\-atlas+tcx120.lustre\-atlas)>=4 = (1+1+1+1)>=4 = 0 &green tcx040.lustre-atlas &green tcx060.lustre-atlas &green tcx080.lustre-atlas &red tcx120.lustre-atlas Without the additional informations of all user-directory and there size, and thats logical of course .. but didn't solve my problem :-( Any hints are welcome ! Thanks & cheers Martin

hobbitgraph.cgi: Attempting to reuse 'mysqlht'
by skliarie＠gmail.com 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi, Initially I filed my problem as a bug over here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3116811&group_id=128058&at… but now I am not sure it is a bug, so posting it here for more lively discussion: I created a custom mysql parameters check that shows graphs on one server, but not on the other. hobbitgraph.sh (hobbitgraph.cgi?) kept sending following error instead of the actual image: <html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Attempting to reuse 'mysqlht'</body></html> If I request the same image for different server, same service - I get the image. If I copy the mysql.rrd file from the /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/atl-db01/mysql.rrd into the /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/pa04, then the image for pa04 shows graph for the atl-db01. Could be that dash in name of that particular server was affecting the hobbitgraph.cgi somehow? I can attach the hobbitgraph.d/mysql.cfg and hobbitserver.d/mysql.cfg if that would help. -- Arie

iostat fix in 4.3.0
by rolands＠logicaltech.com.au 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, I just wonder if the iostat will be fixed in 4.3.0? I'm interested in the Solaris one. Many others also would like to see the linux iostat. It seems that the client correctly sends the data to the server but the server doesn't take care of it. iostatdisk.rrd is not created. There is a command I forgot that actually displays this data but I can't find the command again... Something like $ xymond_hostdata --hosts=sunws1 --tests=iostatdisk (doesn't work) I find this in /usr/local/xymon/data/hostdata/sunws1/1290476142 [iostatdisk] extended device statistics device,r/s,w/s,kr/s,kw/s,wait,actv,svc_t,%w,%b, sd2,a,0.6,3.0,70.4,84.7,0.0,0.0,7.8,0,1 sd2,c,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.6,0,0 sd2,i,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.4,0,0 sd2,q,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.2,0,0 sd2,r,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs2,26.1,3.1,27.9,73.2,0.0,0.1,4.3,0,4 extended device statistics device,r/s,w/s,kr/s,kw/s,wait,actv,svc_t,%w,%b, sd2,a,4.9,5.7,196.2,301.6,0.1,0.0,16.9,2,3 sd2,c,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,i,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,q,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 sd2,r,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0,0 nfs2,0.8,2.8,4.9,41.3,0.0,0.0,14.6,0,1 - Roland

TRACKMAX feature in 4.3.0b3 - help/info wanted
by Stephen.Mullin＠usa.net 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

First, thanks for the new release! I ask for more detail and maybe procedural examples to the TRACKMAX feature. Built-in TRACKMAX is something I hope will solve the beating I've been taking. QUESTIONS: -"This only works for the NCV backend" .... does this mean only the addition client tests we add, not the CPU/Mem/vmstat built-ins ? -Do we have to loop through out RRD files and resize, it it advisable to do so? (I'm thinking I should) -Do we have to loop through our RRD files and mod settings to match/sync with TRACKMAX settings? The referenced link to a note and discussion don't work, but I did find some discussions, and sorry to say I wouldn't be able to figure out what to do from them. My goal is to have 60days of detailed data without too much granularity loss or smoothing. I got space and plenty of horsepower. Anything to get the suits off my back about the "bad data" (their words!). Thanks, -Steve ==============================================================

split "views" is possible?
by soopal＠ice.go.cr 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi all: My team want to put separate views of the equipment monitored by xymon. For example get all test/data from a server on a page called HW and put some of the gathered data on a page called Service. I this way we want to put separate views of one entity.. one view which shows everything so is the necessary for the sysadmin and the other view (fewer columns) that remove the extra data and show the estricly data of a service or function of the server. Can be this acomplish since man pages warns against it with unexpectable results. (bb-hosts). Thanks!

linux disk space issue
by Daniel.Nordquist＠orlandohealth.com 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I know this is not related to hobbit but I had a problem where my web pages stopped updating and histlogs stopped writing. I checked my server disk space with df -h and it showed 3.6gb free on my root filesystem where hobbit lives. I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file. I discovered after a little troubleshooting that I was actually out of space even though I supposedly had a few gig free. I was able to clean up space and get my system running fine, but I'm baffled at why this happened. I can't find anything on the web about it. Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?

Xymon now available on Mac OS X
by fclaire＠free.fr 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Dear Xymon enthusiasts, I'm pleased to announce Xymon is now available on Mac OS X throught the macports.org project: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=xymon You'll find install instructions for xymon server here: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/SetupXymonServer This port is based on the latest 4.3.0.beta3 code which implements the new names for config files and variables. I successfully tested it on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 and Snow Leopard Server 10.6.5. There's only one problem identified so far which is a huge CPU load by "showgraph.cgi" while generating the graphs -> any help is welcome to identify the root cause. Cheers, Francois.
