[hobbit] bb-hosts file parsing issue

No we still have a bb-hosts file but with a include in it so that there is a link from bb-hosts-shared to bb-hosts: "The" line in bb-hosts: include bb-hosts-shared Etienne Marganne TI Automotive. _____ From: Jones, Jason (Altrincham) [mailto:JasonAS_Jones at mentor.com] Sent: jeudi 1 février 2007 10:40 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] bb-hosts file parsing issue You renamed bb-hosts but did you change the BBHOSTS setting in hobbitserver from: BBHOSTS="$BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts" To BBHOSTS="$BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts-shared" ? Jason. _____ From: Marganne, Etienne [mailto:emarganne at be.tiauto.com] Sent: 01 February 2007 09:33 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] bb-hosts file parsing issue Hi all, Now here is a tough problem we encountered. We recently installed a new Hobbit server to get some redundancy. Every thing worked fine since we copied our configuration files and try to make it work with that installation of Hobbit server. The parsing of the bb-hosts file (in our case, this file is renamed bb-hosts-shared for historical reason, believe it does not change anything) does not work. bbgen crashes ... and we do not understand why. We tried all combinations of tab's and spaces ... it only propagates the error to the next line. I think that this issue is more of the scope of Henrik but if anybody has similar problems; his, her proposals are welcome.

[hobbit] Veritas backup

All scripts are welcome of course. When I will have performed my tests I will let the interested people know how it worked here so that everybody can enhance its own script ... or not ;-) Etienne Marganne TI Automotive. _____ From: Jeffcoat, Al [mailto:Al.Jeffcoat at orhs.org] Sent: mercredi 31 janvier 2007 23:41 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] Veritas backup We've got something like this in place that monitors the status of individual jobs. We created a backups pageset, and then a script that pulls and scrapes data directly from the master server. We were running 5.1, and upgraded to 6.0 this last weekend, and the script is still working, outside of some timing issues turning the dots purple for a little while. If you're interested, I can send you the script. Al From: Marganne, Etienne [mailto:emarganne at be.tiauto.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 4:52 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Veritas backup Hi all, We are about to install a Veritas back-up solution and I would like to know if somebody has done something to monitor such back-up solutions. Thank you. Btw here is the answer to my yesterday question: Start the bbcombotest in the hobbitlaunch.cfg idcsrv912.resource.tiauto.com.conn = idcsrv911.info && idcsrv911.ERPlog bigtest2.conn = idcsrv911.ERPlog Introduce such test in bbcombotest.cfg. You can overwrite already evaluated tests (like the conn test for idcsrv912 in the example above). Add those test in the bb-hosts file : 0.0.0.0 bigtest2 # noconn 0.0.0.0 idcsrv912.resource.tiauto.com # noconn That will force the conn result to be the one from the combo test. You can detail the correct IP address if you know it but it also works well that way if there are some way to resolve the symbolic names with DNS. Etienne Marganne TI Automotive.

pageset question
by TIM.EVANS＠jpmchase.com 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Thanks for the assistance but I'm still having no luck. I did change the bb-hosts section to use ossubpage. I am running this manually from the command line so I haven't added it to hobbitlaunch yet. I plan on doing that once I get it working. It creates the page and both subpages properly but doesn't add the server into the subpage. I can only get it working by using OS:* but then it puts the server in the top page and not in the subpages like I want it. Is there something simple that I am missing here? ospage unix Unix Servers ossubpage unix-aix AIX ossubpage unix-sun SUN 0.0.0.0 nsk-208 # OS:unix-sun bbgen --pageset=os /opt/hobbit/server/www/os 2007-01-31 17:23:20 Warning: Cannot find any target page named 'unix-sun' in set 'os' - dropping host 'nsk-208' ########################################################### Hi Henrik, I asked this question last month and have had no luck with it.

combotest and the test states
by emarganne＠be.tiauto.com 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi all, This morning I have been testing combined test to try to mark as unreachable a list of hosts. From the tests I deduced the following statements: You can not overwrite already evaluated tests with combined containing their occurency. Explanation: emarganne.conn = bigrouter.conn && emarganne.conn do not work. Indeed it seams that the token "emarganne.conn" has to be unique. If you use it in the logic expression its value will be -1 because the expression analyzer links "emarganne.conn" to the one defined as the combo test not the one that has been defined in the bb-hosts file. So you can not create link the connectivity of a hosts to one of the other directly this way. I am right or is there any workaround ? Etienne Marganne TI Automotive.

BBWin bbd column

I have successfully installed and configured bbwin 0.9 on a windows client. My question is about bbd. >From docs.. "The bbd column shows the status of the Hobbit or Big Brother service on the host. " Since bbd refers to a host installed agent, which is not part of bbwin, how do I disable this in hobbit-server for a given windows host. Thanks ~Don
