Custom Menus
by TIM.EVANS＠jpmchase.com 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

Hi Henrik, I've been asked to create different menus for certain systems so that someone can look at non-green items for certain pages and groups rather than viewing all-non green servers. Can I utilize one of the existing scripts under cgi-bin to achieve this or should I use bbgen? I would like to have the page generated at the same intervals as bb2.html and bbnk.html. I saw one post that used bbgen but I wasn't sure if they used cron to create the output or incorporated it into hobbit itself. What would be the best method to get this result?

old glibc
by maik＠vegasystems.com 24 Nov '06

Hello, I use the Hobbit-Server 4.2 on FC5 Linux. I also user the client-software on Windos- and Linux Operatingsystems. Sometimes, We use old linux distributions with an old glibc (ver. 2.25). Is there a way to install the hobbit client on those systems without updating the glibc? I checked it by google but I didn`t find any answers. Thanks for your soon answer. Maik

depends tag?
by etmsys＠rit.edu 24 Nov '06

We have the following: x.x.x.x hostA # ssh y.y.y.y hostB # ssh ldap://hostB.rit.edu:389/ou=People,dc=rit,dc=edu?uid?sub?(uid=authtest) depends=(conn:hostA/conn),(ldap:hostA/conn) These run Solaris 10 zones. hostA is the physical system, hostB is a zone within hostA. So if the hostA goes down, then hostB will be down also. However it appears that if the "conn" test fails for hostA, it fails for hostB also, but hostB "conn" shows red, not clear. Is this correct? We have many Solaris 10 zones that if the physical host goes down, then all the zones will fail the test too. We don't want to be emailed (or paged) with massive amounts of hosts going down, when we know that other host test will fail. Thanks. ---Eric

building on Mandriva Corporate Server 4
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

I finally broke my bb environment, so I'm again trying to get hobbit working. I took the srpm provided by Mandriva, replaced the allinone patch they had from Sep25 with the one from October 3rd, rebuilt the package, and installed it. When starting it, I see the following messages in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log 2006-11-21 08:10:49 hobbitlaunch starting 2006-11-21 08:10:49 Loading tasklist configuration from /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg 2006-11-21 08:10:49 xfree: Trying to free a NULL pointer During the build process, I get a lot of errors like: acklog.c: In function 'do_acklog': acklog.c:119: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'nldecode' differ in signedness encoding.c: In function 'base64encode': encoding.c:31: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness encoding.c:34: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness encoding.c:50: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness encoding.c:60: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'strlen' differ in signedness encoding.c:75: warning: pointer targets in return differ in signedness encoding.c: In function 'base64decode': Any ideas? I'd really like to get this running, but I've never learned C.

solaris work around for df hang on nfs?
by johng＠idttechnology.com 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

I want to add monitoring nfs file systems back into the 4.2 sunos client, but don't want the whole client to hang if nfs hangs. I changed the scripting to the df test to kill the hanging df and display "&red - df $1 check failed" message, if the df does not complete in 3 seconds. That part seems to work OK. The only thing I think I need is get the hobbit server to change the "disk" status to red or yellow. 1) What do I need to change to get "disk status" to change color? 2) Is there any down side to what I am trying to do? I changed df test in hobbitclient-sunos.sh to the following: echo "[df]" # Get df header FSTYPESH=`/bin/df -n -l|awk '{print $3}'|egrep -v "^proc|^fd|^mntfs|^ctfs|^devfs|^objfs|^nfs"|sort|uniq` set $FSTYPESH /bin/df -F $1 -k | head -1 # All of this because Solaris df cannot show multiple fs-types, or exclude certain fs types. #FSTYPES=`/bin/df -n -l|awk '{print $3}'|egrep -v "^proc|^fd|^mntfs|^ctfs|^devfs|^objfs|^nfs"|sort|uniq` FSTYPES=`/bin/df -n|awk '{print $3}'|egrep -v "^proc|^fd|^mntfs|^ctfs|^devfs|^objfs"|sort|uniq` if test "$FSTYPES" = ""; then FSTYPES="ufs"; fi set $FSTYPES while test "$1" != ""; do ( /bin/df -F $1 -k | grep -v " /var/run" | tail +2 ) & cmdpid=$! timeout=3 (sleep $timeout; echo "&red - df $1 check failed" ; kill -9 $cmdpid >/dev/null 2>&1) & watchdogpid=$! wait $cmdpid # wait for command kill $watchdogpid >/dev/null 2>&1 shift done During a df hang the web page source shows the following: Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on <IMG SRC="/hobbit/gifs/red.gif" ALT="red" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="16" BORDER=0> - df nfs check failed /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2052750 1407222 583946 71% / /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 2052750 184667 1806501 10% /var /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 5038454 3349374 1638696 68% /opt2 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 2052750 1757484 233684 89% /opt /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 1015542 724217 230393 76% /tmp The Client data df section shows the following raw data: [df] Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on &red - df nfs check failed /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 2052750 1407222 583946 71% / /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 2052750 184667 1806501 10% /var /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 5038454 3349374 1638696 68% /opt2 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 2052750 1757484 233684 89% /opt /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 1015542 724217 230393 76% /tmp Thanks, John
