[hobbit] Question about freed servers
by brodie＠mcw.edu 21 Aug '06

Delete the entry for bb-hosts. I do not believe this will get rid of any *DATA*, for that you must explicitly do the "bb drop" command for each host, if you want to remove the data. If you want those hosts to still show up in hobbit, you will have to leave them defined, but then I'd recommend permanently "disabling" all of the tests, permanently. -----Original Message----- From: Nicola Canepa [mailto:nicola.canepa at sys-net.it] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 8:43 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Question about freed servers I'm getting rid of old servers, so I don't need monitoring them anymore.

Hobbit cluster and DRDB
by tlp-hobbit＠holme-pedersen.dk 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi Brothers, Just read an article in Linux Journal about using DRDB as a "cluster" filesystem for a redundant installation of sendmail and mysql. This has caused me to think that this could be a way forward as a cluster mecanism for hobbit. Currently I run a rdist job for this and then have a manual intervention for starting up hobbit on the secondary node. I know from when I last looked at DRDB that the IO performance as a problem with BB but with Hobbit I am prety sure it should work. I am wondering if any of you have experienced with the DRDB/heartbeat/hobbit and what your impressions are ? Regards, Thomas -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Gnokii and Hobbit
by m.magua＠gmail.com 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

Hi Has anyone managed to get gnokii to work with Hobbit for alerts? I'm a bit stumped. I have a premicell and a serial cable going from the server to the premicell. I compiled gnokii and from the command line I can do: echo "some msg" | gnokii --sendsms <cell number> And that works. However following the examples from the Hobbit website on sms notifications does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards Michael Magua

Feature Request
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 21 Aug '06

Probably been asked for before, but here goes. On some of our busier servers we have very long lines of checks, many of which are closely associated with other checks on that line, what I would like to do is group them on that server line under a name which links to a subpage with the checks I want in them so for instance. Infra-01 conn cpu disk files info int01-08 memory meta msgs oradb orasys oratns oralocks aq ports procs ssh trends Under the way I would like them you could group all the ora checks under a separate title and page so it would like as follows Infra-01 conn cpu disk files info int01-08 memory meta msgs Oracle ports procs ssh trends | | Oradb orasys oratns oralocks aq Hope that makes sense.

TOP withing hobbitclient-sunos.sh
by vadud3＠gmail.com 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Hi I do not see any list of process on the "cpu" column. I am running hobbit client 4.2.0 on Solaris 8. I do have top installed. If I run which top as hobbit user I get /usr/local/bin/top. Now I do not follow this section of the hobbitclient-sunos.sh file # $TOP must be set, the install utility should do that for us if it exists. if test "$TOP" != "" then if test -x "$TOP" then echo "[top]" $TOP -b 20 fi fi It seems like the "install utility" did not find the top command. I know it is the not the TOP in hobbitclient.cfg according to the following lines # The following defines a bunch of commands that BB extensions expect to be present. # Hobbit does not use them, but they are provided here so if you use BB extension # scripts, then they will hopefully run without having to do a lot of tweaking. [...] TOP="/bin/prstat -can 20 1 1" [...] -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu

PAGE alerts

Appear to have hit a small bug. When attempting to setup PAGE= alerts, systems defined as: 0.0.0.0 xxx.yyy.com # noconn did not work. No match was found, when trying hobbitd_alert --test xxx.yyy.com Can someone please confirm? I really would like to keep my IP's and network tests in one place. -- Quinton Jansen Environment Canada #201 - 401 Burrard Street Vancouver BC V6C 3S5 t: (604) 664 9196 e: Quinton.Jansen @ nospam @ ec.gc.ca No violence, gentlemen -- no violence, I beg of you!

Using Hobbit on NetBSD
by apfaffeneder＠pfaffeneder.org 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi, I tried to make Hobbit run on NetBSD 3.0 for quite some time and always failed because of: Could not get sem: No space left on device To get more semaphores, one has to recompile the kernel of NetBSD with greater values for semaphores, as for example: options SHMMAXPGS=4096 options SHMSEG=256 options SEMMNI=256 options SEMMNS=512 options SEMMNU=256 options SEMMAP=256 Details about these settings can be found in "man options". Hendrik, maybe you can include that bit of information on http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/known-issues.html Apart from that issue, looks good and also solves the problem of broken graphs for me.
