Hi all, Is there a hobbit client? I see references to a client but can't find much info about it. BB used to distribute 2 separate packages but I don't see that here. Please point me towards some info about how to install a client on a linux host. thank you kevin

how to purge/exclude bogus outage for availability report
by jjj863＠gmail.com 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

our Hobbit monitors production environment. Occasionally, there's hour-long outage for our Intranet causing all checks to fail (albeit 'depends'). If possible, I'd like to purge or mark for exclusion such bogus outages, for the sake of accuracy of availability report? BTW, the availability report is such a great feature!

Single System Test
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Nov '06

I have a BB script that runs on only one client and tests for a specific item. How do I configure the client to run only on that client? I'm using a directory share on all the clients. The old bb-bbexttab would allow you to configure a specific host like this: localhost : : myscript.sh systemA : : special-script.sh So, localhost would run on all machine, but special-script.sh would only run on systemA. Is there a way to do the same thing with the Hobbit Client? Thanks.James

Data, bb-hostsvc.sh
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

I need some help. I've searched the Archives for a solution, but I haven't been able to find one. When I click on "Client data Available", I get a pop up window saying "Unknown File Type". I open the file with word, and everything looks fine, except no HTML headers or footers. Everything else is working, and this function was working. It just stopped. I've double checked my httpd.conf in apache, and I haven't changed it since the original install. (I added all the AddHandlers, etc. as described in the install docs) I've checked privileges, and I haven't changed those either since the original install. I can execute the hobbitsvc.cgi script and it gives me: Content-type: text/html <html><head><title>Invalid request</title></head> <body>Invalid request</body></html> I've seen this problem reported in the lists, but with no definite fix action. Help would really be appreciated. Has anyone else seen this just stop working and not recognizing the File Type? When you open the Doc, all the information is there, but the HTML headers are not. I suspect that the hobbitsvc.cgi script is not pulling the HTML headers, but I also checked and they are there. Thanks..James

Which Solaris version is supposed to contain those fields then? I've tried Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 and neither version produce those fields with netstat. Can I recompile part of the Hobbit server so that it will just not look for the fields and process what it does get?
