Disable grey columns
by thomas_lange＠hotmail.com 11 Jan '07

Hallo , I have the file and port columns with only the grey indicator ( = no data). Can I disable the columns ? I have tried in bb-hosts : Nocolums : files,port - but it doesn't work. Any idea ? _________________________________________________________________ Sie suchen E-Mails, Dokumente oder Fotos?

file monitoring
by tlp-hobbit＠holme-pedersen.dk 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

hi all, Trying to get file monitoring to work. Works find with fixed filenames but I need to match a pattern in a directory and find the oldest file. If more than say 7200 sec old in mtime then generate an alert. in client-local.cfg I have file:`ls -t /ftp/input/* | tail -1` which produces the oldest file name on the web page. I have the following in hobbit-clients.cfg FILE %/ftp/input/*.gz RED mtime<7200 but I get no alarms. Any ideas ?

Web Page Check
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Does anyone know how I can integrate hobbit with a test that would check web page logins? For example, We have a Web Server which connects to an App. Server which connects to a Database Server. To test functionality, we login to the Web Server, then enter data into a form, which stores the information into the database. This is just a test user account. I'd like to setup a test that does the same thing and have hobbit alert us. For example, you can an error logging in, or an error submitting your data in the form. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks..James

/var/adm/messages, Not noifying
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Jan '07

Hello All, Since I move everything over to hobbit, the messages monitoring seems to have changed. I get no alerts on /var/adm/messages file anymore. We just had a database server crater, and the /var/adm/messages file was full of VCS errors. I'm also not getting notified of SCSI errors I've seen on other machines. Am I missing something? Should I have configured something else? Thanks.James

[hobbit] Disk not showing
by PNIXON＠ci.somerville.ma.us 10 Jan '07

Yeah, sorta stumbled onto that. I'll see how it behaves tonight and make sure it's happy. I think I did add the IGNORE statement to hobbit-client.cfg earlier this week in an attempt to clear out the temporary mnt information. --Pat -----Original Message----- From: henrik at hswn.dk [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 12:26 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Disk not showing On Wed, Jan 10, 2007 at 12:13:22PM -0500, PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 08, 2007 at 01:34:30PM -0500, PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us wrote: > > It's the /dev/sdb1 that's not graphing appropriately. > > > > It is graphing on the occasional /mnt that the system does > > overnight, but not sdb1. > > Is there a "disk,snapshot.rrd" file in the ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ > directory ? > > --- Yes, the file is there with a current timestamp. OK, that means it's "only" an issue with getting the graph displayed.

That's the reason. Filesystems that "come and go" tend to confuse the "disk" graph display. I'll bet that your "disk" graph currently has three graphs showing, but it's just not the right three graphs - there are one or more of these remote filesystems showing up instead. (What's happening is that when building the disk graph, Hobbit looks at the number of filesystems reported in the disk status message. It sees 3 filesystems, so it builds a graph for three filesystems - but when there are more disk*.rrd files than that, it will pick the first three RRD files - in alphabetical order - which were modified within the past 24 hours. Since "mnt" goes before "snapshot", you get a graph for the /mnt filesystem instead of the one for /snapshot). The best solution would be to put configuration entries for these come-and-go filesystems into hobbit-clients.cfg with an IGNORE setting. Then you can delete the disk*.rrd files that refer to these cifs filesystems. That removes them from the "disk" status, and so they will no longer confuse the disk graph. Note that this only works if the server is running the Hobbit client (not the BB client). Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Do you have an RRDDISKS or NORRDDISKS setting in hobbitserver.cfg ? --- Neither are configured in hobbitserver.cfg Is there a "disk,snapshot.rrd" file in the ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ directory ? --- Yes, the file is there with a current timestamp.
