Not seeing custom footer scripts in 4.2.0 -- What'd I do wrong?
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I just get the horizontal rule followed by the 'hobbit 4.2.0' logo in the lower right corner. For grins, I symlinked bb_footer to bulletin_footer -- and now I get *two* horizontal rules, with two logos. This worked in 4.03 and 4.1.2.p1, and I can't remember if I looked at it in the 4.2 alpha series.

a tiny logfile problem
by kolbjorn.barmen＠uninett.no 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

Due to the nature of the LOG entries in client-local.cfg I keep getting red dots evey now and then. [linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240 ignore MARK The number 10240 is the MAXDATA in bytes that will be cheked. The problem is that this results in uncomplete lines, and hence my IGNORE patterns does not always apply. For instance, on certain machines I log named queries, however I want Hobbit to ignore query errors, so I have a this in hobbit-client.cfg "IGNORE=%(named.*query|floppy|interrupt)" which mostly works. However, every now and then the msgs page for this host shows a "Full log" starting with "med[1327]: client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#1057: query: www.errorsafe.com IN A" where "med" is the end of "named" - this ofcourse sneaks past my IGNORE. Would it be possible for the clients to not report on uncomplete lines? I'm tempted to name this a bug, I'm just sorry I didnt catch this before 4.2.0 release, it's just that they pass along quite briefly. Btw.. funny host and domain names with "error" and "warn" and "critical".. :) -- Kolbjørn Barmen UNINETT Driftsenter

Hello, In order to show graphs for FILES and PROCS do I have to set anything else than the TRACK tag in hobbit-clients.cfg and the related entry in client-local.cfg ? Here is an example of my conf files : a) hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=machine.client TIME=W:0800:1900 DISK /boot 85 90 PROC cupsd 1 1 yellow "TEXT=cupsd" DIR /var TRACK DIR /tmp TRACK FILE /home/hobbit/thisfilemustnotexist NOEXIST TRACK LOG /var/LOG/messages COLOR=yellow PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=0 max=3 COLOR=yellow "TEXT=SSH Connections" b) client-local.cfg [machine.client] dir:/var dir:/home/hobbit/data file:/home/hobbit/thisfilemustnotexist log:/var/log/messages:25000 No graphs are displayed when I look for the FILES test...

Hello, ooops, I forgot to make the changes in the hobbitserver.cfg as stated in the release notes. :-/ Now the graphes are there.... hobbitserver.cfg ---------------- Several new status columns are being reported by the Hobbit client, and these have associated graphs. In order for them to show up correctly, you must change the two graph-settings: - TEST2RRD: Add ",files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines" to the current setting. - GRAPHS: Add ",files,processes,ports,ifstat,clock,lines" to the current setting.

shm problems
by D.Mostardi＠mdl.com 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I'm having memory problems when launching Hobbit on Solaris 9. Initially the error in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log is "Could not attach shm Too many open files", and then later becomes "Could not attach shm Permission denied". If I then close all hobbit processes and look at /usr/bin/ipcs I see six shared-memory listings and six semaphore listings. I can clean these out with ipcrm, but then when I restart hobbit the same set of symptoms recur. I have appended some logs below, generated with the hobbitlaunch.cfg --debug switch on. No processes other than hobbitlaunch ever start up, and no log files other than hobbitlaunch.log appear. There are plenty of resources available on the Hobbit server (disk, RAM, swap).

Patch dependencies?
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Folks: I decided to catch up with the patches, so I tried to install these on my Sun server: client-options.patch client-testmode.patch double-contenttype.patch downtime-singlestatus-docs.patch hobbitfetch-dynaddr.patch infopage-duplicates.patch top-solarisclient.patch web-cookiehandling.patch zoomgraph-bgcolor.patch Foolishly, I tried to install them in this order. This does not work. On my system, web-cookiehandling.patch must be installed before infopage-duplicates.patch will work. Just an FYI. And, for newbies like me who haven't used patch before, the command to install a patch appears to be: $ cd [top of Hobbit source tree] $ patch -p0 < [patch file] [read output and look for errors, praying you don't see any]. To back out a patch that barfs: $ cd [top of Hobbit source tree] $ patch -p0 -R < [patch file] After patching, go through the "make; stop Hobbit; make install; start Hobbit" drill. Of course, everyone but me probably already knows this backwards and forwards. GLH

The sunfreeware notes say: "Note that this version of gcc was created on build 60 of Solaris 10. If you are using a higher version, you will need to redo some of the header files. This is done by doing the following steps: cd /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.3.2/install-tools/ Put the line SHELL=/bin/sh on the first line of the mkheaders.conf file. Then run ./mkheaders This will correct some files and make the build 60 gcc usable on higher builds. I have tested this on build 72 and it works fine." This could very well be the problem.

Cheers Henrik, I believe the Core installation might be the "issue" here allright. Still, I do have those two libraries in place [minivip]/$ ls -l /usr/include/stdlib.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 9296 Jan 21 2005 /usr/include/stdlib.h [minivip]/$ ls -l /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 5383 Jan 21 2005 /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h [minivip]/$ How do I go from here? Or, how do I check what directory gcc parses and/or how do I tell gcc to also use /usr/include ?

Solaris 10/x86 happens to be one of the platforms that I test-compiled Hobbit on before the release. I think you're missing some packages by doing just a "core" install. Check the files /usr/include/stdlib.h and /usr/include/iso/stdlib_iso.h; they should be 9296 and 5383 bytes, respectively. The latter one contains the definition of "NULL" which your compiler claims does not exist. > gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -DPOSIX_MALLOC_THRESHOLD=10 ./pcre.c -fPIC > -DPIC -o pcre.o > pcre.c:355: error: `malloc' undeclared here (not in a function) > pcre.c:356: error: `free' undeclared here (not in a function) Again, these are really essential system library routines that are not defined by your build environment. Without these you just cannot compile very much C code.

Hobbit 4.2.0 hobbitcgi.cfg
by bb4＠richter-it.net 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

Hi Henrik, first of all I have to agree with all the others. This IS a really outstanding piece of software you've written. Thanks for that. I found a small typo in the above mentioned config file. In hobbit-ghosts.sh you use "...hobbit-ghosts.cgi $CGI_GHOSTS_OPTS" but in hobbitcgi.cfg the last S is missing so it reads "CGI_GHOSTS_OPT=...". Sorry to bother you with that. Best regards Torsten
