ZFS Monitoring Script
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Okay here it is, it's small but does the following. File system HEALTH. ONLINE = green DEGRADED = yellow FAULTED = red File system sizes are set to alert yellow at 80% capacity and red at 90%, the variables to alter this are at the top of the file. It doesn't check scrub status as yet as I'm not to sure what the scrub will report back, so once I've got some scrubbing underway I'll adjust the script to take into account scrubbing. This was something I threw together in 15minutes as we just realized that UFS would not suit the requirements of a project and therefore we had to move to ZFS. Enhancements I'm working on are to display all the storage devices in the pools and their health and also read / write and checksum errors, but they will have to wait for a bit.

ZFS Filesystem Monitoring
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Is anyone using ZFS File Systems on Solaris 10.. If so how do you monitor them, I've put together a monitoring script for them to show the health and capacity if anyone is interested. It's fairly low-tech but does what it needs to, I've got some ideas for putting more features into it at a later date.

hobbitd crashing (both 4.0.2 and latest snapshot) on Solaris 8
by stephen.menton＠cingular.com 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

After adding additional tests today I saw that some of my tests weren't getting through. I checked their logs and saw repeted lines like: 2007-04-10 20:17:59 Could not connect to bbd at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1985 - Connection refused 2007-04-10 20:17:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed (replaced actual IP with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) Additionally, both in my previous install of hobbit and the current snapshot I'm seeing the following messages written to /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log: 2007-04-10 18:13:16 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1985 2007-04-10 18:13:16 Setting up local listener 2007-04-10 18:13:17 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 15 2007-04-10 18:13:17 Setting up signal handlers 2007-04-10 18:13:17 Setting up hobbitd channels 2007-04-10 18:13:17 Setting up logfiles 2007-04-10 18:16:21 Task hobbitd terminated by signal 6 2007-04-10 18:16:21 Task bbdisplay terminated by signal 15 I will install gdb and see if I can get more info to provide but am wondering if this is a known issue. I need help as I need to complete a bb4->hobbit migration by next Friday, have a meeting scheduled tomorrow to show my progress, and hobbit is "dead" at the moment. Help? stephen

monitoring a directory on a client
by eric＠iconla.com 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hello all. I am attempting to monitor a randomly disappearing directory on one of my Mac OS X Server clients. Looking at the docs for hobbit-client.cfg, I should be able to monitor the directories existence with: HOST=upload.iconla.com FILE /Volumes/raid/upload red type=dir TRACK I should also be able to monitor the size of that directory by adding the line: DIR /Volumes/raid/upload red size<40522440 TRACK I expect that this should graph the size of the directory and turn red when it reaches over 19G as well as go red iif the directory disappears. I know my HOST line is correct as it is already reading my DISK status settings. Yet Files Status still shows : No files checked. Where have I gone wrong? -Eric

FYI from The Shire
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hey folks, I've recently added a few items to The Shire. One of the more interesting is a manifest file for Solaris 10 to allow you to configure hobbit as a service in the new Service Management Facilty. You may want to subscribe to The Shire's announcement list (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/theshire-announce) as I will be sending emails there whenever new monitors, addons, etc are added. I'm also trying to talk a web developer friend of mine into writing an interface to allow developers to fill out a form for their extensions. This will make it easier for you to add to the site (not that it's in the least bit overwhelming at the moment). =G=

need advice
by gjohnson＠trantor.org 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Ok, I'm writing a couple of custom monitors for some tasks at the office. These can be either client or server scripts and can easily be scripted either way. What would you recommend for server versus client extensions? What criteria would you use to decide? Some guidelines would be helpful for determining which type of script to pursue. =G=

propagate disable
by emarganne＠be.tiauto.com 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hello all, I have question about test disabling. How to have the disable being propagated to another Hobbit server, let's say another bbserver (not just a display one then) kind of server. It could be better and friendlier to have those states to be updated on both servers. I have tried to think about using a home made script running "bb" command in some kind of way but no "schedule" or "until ok" option are available. Does someone have an idea of how to do it?

forbidden
by b.perez＠organonusa.com 10 Apr '07

Hi - I've just upgraded to 4.2.0 and am having trouble getting the URL to come up. I'm getting "Forbidden, you don't have permission to access /hobbit/bb.html on this server". I looked in the forum and found a previous posting that referenced adding umask 022 to the startup script, I added this to hobbit.sh, modified the permissions for the bb*.html files and retarted and am still having the issue. I think it's because of the permissions on the bb*.html files in the www directory - I have another hobbit server running that has these as 664, but whenever I restart hobbit on my new install it changes back to 644. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. ----------------------------------------- This message, including attachments, is confidential and may be privileged.
