dns query load?
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 30 Dec '06

30 Dec '06

I'd like to monitor the number of dns queries hitting my external DNS servers. there is a bb script that supposedly does this - bb-dns-load, but I'd like to know if anyone has got it working with the hobbit client. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com

[hobbit] More than just green/red for HTTP cont= tests?
by gumby3203＠gmail.com 29 Dec '06

29 Dec '06

Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find this question anywhere in the hobbit mailing list archives... Is there a way to have multiple HTTP cont= tests for a single web page, that are for different content checks for a different status color? I currently have Hobbit monitoring several webpages which themselves are like mini-Hobbit display pages. Depending on the status of those pages, I'd like hobbit to display either green, yellow, or red. Currently, the cont= test only checks if the content exists; if it does, it's green, otherwise, it's red. What I'm thinking is, is there a way to say something like cont[=column];url;[expected_data_regexp];[alternate_data_regexp] Where if "expected_data_regexp" is matched, the status is green. If it isn't matched, it tries to match "alternate_data_regexp". If *that* is matched, the status is yellow. If neither are matched, the status is reg. Also, let me know if you all think this is going a little beyond the scope of Hobbit. Perhaps I should be doing this test with an external script, rather than using an http cont= test. The only problem would be, I'd have to make the script be able to read and parse an http page... Gary B.

Any answer will be appreciated! statusbbgen.sh also needs to be twiddled to use the hobbit executables. I got it to work like this: [me at myhost bbmap]$ cat statusbbgen.sh #!/bin/sh # @version $Id: statusbbgen.sh,v 2.5 2003/12/12 22:39:05 fredo Exp $ # @copyright 2003 # call bbgen >= 2.5 to create bb4 web page when click on host/group TEMPBBHOST=$1 BBHOME=/usr/lib/hobbit/server export BBHOME #. ${BBHOME}/etc/bbdef.sh BBHOSTS=${TEMPBBHOST} export BBHOSTS BBSKIN="/bb/gifs" export BBSKIN TEMPLATE="bb" ${BBHOME}/bin/bbcmd BBHOSTS=${TEMPBBHOST}; ${BBHOME}/bin/bbgen --template=${TEMPLATE} --embedded 2> /dev/null > > Thanx > > Johan Rutten > IT-Specialist department of Nuclear Medicine > University Medical Center Nijmegen > The Netherlands > j.rutten at rad.umcn.nl > > <<bbmap.JPG>> > -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com

Strange phenomena hobbit 4.2.0
by peter.welter＠gmail.com 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

In hobbit-clients.cfg the following is defined: HOST=somehost DIR /dumpdisk/backup/archivetmp In client-local.cfg [somehost] dir:/dumpdisk/backup/archivetmp In this configuration everything works just fine. Al defined 15 disk-partitions show up at the disk-test of somehost. However... When the TRACK-keyword is added in the hobbit-clients.cfg to the DIR-line above and the file filesizes.,dumpdisk,backup,archivetmp.rrd shows up in /var/lib/hobbit/rrd/somehost/ then the graphs that would normally be shown at the disk-test, do not work properly anymore! In fact, the first 5 partitions are not shown anymore. Removing the TRACK-keyword and re-moving file filesizes.,dumpdisk,backup,archivetmp.rrd makes the disk-graphs working again (yes ALL rrd-files are still updated). Regards, Peter

Using mysql instead of filesystem

Is there any though about moving away from the flat filesystem for histlogs and logs, and go with a db solution like mysql? Thanks, Jason Beltrame

[hobbit] New Hobbit "admin" Scripts

OK I got it to work. Changed : this_getQuery() { # RETURN=`echo "$1" | $GREP -oE "(^|[?&])$2=[^&]+" | $SED "s/%0D//g"| $SED "s/%0A/\n/g" | $CUT -f 2 -d "=" | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"` RETURN=`echo "$1" | awk -F\= '{print $2}' | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"` } What are you trying to do with all the grep and sed? BTW is almost always better (more portable?) to use awk -F rather than cut -f cut is "white space challenged " on many systems Also it Bash level dependent!

Double and missing alerts
by scott.brehm＠l-3com.com 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

I've been getting double alert mails for one of my servers, and no alerts for others. I'm wondering if the problem is related to my using the UNMATCHED rule. It's not listed on the man page for hobbit-alerts.cfg so I probably copied it from my earlier Big Brother config without thinking. Is there an UNMATCHED equivalent in Hobbit? Here's the current rules. I'm getting double e-mails for all tests on atscm-setnas2.set.local. I'm also getting no alerts for the http test on two servers that don't match the rules here. I didn't realize that until I followed the info link for them and saw No Alerts Defined in the alerting table.
