links on http button
by bb4＠richter-it.net 31 Aug '06

Hi Henrik, on BB I've made a little hack to bb-network.sh so the URLs on the http test became clickable links so an admin or operator could just click on this in BB and verify the error or see that it was a false one. I just wanted to know in which file I have to look for this to get the same on Hobbit. And I have another question. I've put all definitions for PROC and PORT into hobbit-clients.cfg like this PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN "TEXT=SSH listener" COLOR=yellow But in the logfile clientdata.log I see the following: 2006-08-30 12:28:50 Unknown token 'COLOR=yellow' ignored at line 413 What is the right syntax for the line? I also tried with color=yellow and with quotation marks around it - nothing helped. Best Regards Torsten

[hobbit] building bbproxy
by CHRIS.MORRIS＠RWEnpower.com 30 Aug '06

That is exactly what I did. The C compiler is gcc version 3.3.2. When the bbproxy binary is ftp'd to the Solaris 10 machine is says "cannot execute" and the file command on bbproxy returns data.

Mail Archive seems broken
by vadud3＠gmail.com 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

I tried to search the archive for the email where it was discussed on how if conn fails no other test alerts. Does anyone remember how hobbit behaves when the conn of a host fails? Does it stop alerting about rest of the tests? Is it documented somewhere? Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu

Looking for suggestions on hobbit SLA reporting
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

I can't currently use the hobbit SLA reporting, as much as I would like to. I've got two problems with the current setup, and can't figure a way around them both. First -- from a management perspective, our primary application (SAP R/3) is either available for use or down. We have a stated objective of some % uptime. Scheduled outages are charged just like unscheduled. So if we take the system for a scheduled 12-hour upgrade, we get charged with 12 hours against our total availability. This means that 'blue' status is the same as 'red' -- the guys in the field can't use it, it's not available, and management doesn't care that it's a scheduled outage. (Yes, if we take ALL our allocated down time AND run our normal off-line weekly backup, we will *not* meet our SLA by about 10 hours -- based on current backup run time; and that's not to mention the three unscheduled outages so far this year). The second problem -- 'red' doesn't always mean "it's dead, Jim"; it can also mean "somebody better look at this quick, BEFORE it dies". But we don't want to page on yellow, even on this system. Suggestions? Henrik, is there a (relatively) easy way to convince the sla report funtion to consider 'blue' and/or 'clear' as 'red' for reporting? For this particular application, I have a potential ugly hack. We run an in-house test that verifies the SAP central instance can access the Oracle database; it reports 'green' or 'red'. It also checks to see if the off-line backup is running, and reports 'blue' with no attempt at a test. I could always take out the test for the backup and let the test go red, altering the alert config to not page for this test during the scheduled backup window. But that leaves me altering the alert config to shut paging off during a scheduled 'down' instead of using the 'disable' function . . .

eventlog customizing
by TIM.EVANS＠jpmchase.com 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi Henrik, I am running hobbit version 4.1.2. I was wondering if there is a way to exclude cpu events from the last 100 events section on the bb2.html page other than deleting them from the allevents log? We have raised the threshold for alerts in hobbit-alerts.cfg but most of the last 100 events are cpu alerts.

[hobbit] Memory usage BBWIn 0.8

Etienne, After i changed the time to 10min, the memory used by BBWin is still growing, but not as fast as before. The event logs contains both information events and warning events. The stats for the 10m: Events Analyzed: 303 (1123 for 30m) Events Matched: 101 (404 fof 30m) Events Ignored: 0 The description fields of most of the events are about 200 chars long.

Now, you can try to reduce the time of the events matched. Default is 30 minutes.

The files at url http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/manpages/man1/ probably have the wrong permissions as they don't seem to be accessible. Cheers, Gildas

empty pages/sections
by plardinois＠be.tiauto.com 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hello, In our bb-host file, we have a lot of subparent sections that are empty. Example : Page SiteA subpage WinServers Windows Servers subparent WinServers W2K Win2000 ... ... subparent WinServers W2K03 Win2003 ... ... ... subpage UnixServers Unix Servers Page SiteB subpage WinServers Windows Servers subparent WinServers W2K Win2000 ... ... subarent WinServers W2K03 Win2003 ... ... ... subpage UnixServers Unix Servers In that example the section "Unix Servers" is empty, but it appears in the Hobbit display anyway. Here comes my request about a new feature. Is it possible to : - either mark this section by another icon than the green diamond one in order to indicate that the section it is empty ? - either not show this empty section ? In the example, that means that the ~/server/www/UnixServers directory would not be generated by bbgen. Thanks. Regards, Pierre _____________________________ Pierre Lardinois Int.

Windows Extension Scripts for HP Server?

30 Aug '06

Is there anyone who has set up ext Scipts for HP/Compaq Servers on Windows for Hobbit or BB? I am looking for a way to test Server Hardware, Disk Array Status etc. I have already looked at deadcat.net but didn't find something like that. Kind regards, Chris
