[hobbit] Change of IP doesn't seem to take
by JMSmith＠stvincenthealth.com 15 Aug '06

I think I figured it out...it is looking at DNS and that has not been corrected yet. I created an entry in /etc/hosts and now everything looks great. So...never mind! ________________________________ From: Smith, Jim [mailto:JMSmith at stvincenthealth.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 3:52 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Change of IP doesn't seem to take Greetings all!

[hobbit] Problems with hobbit-enadis.cgi from info page
by fduranti＠q8.it 15 Aug '06

I was checking with the help of cgierror.log and yes the problem is the HTTP_REFERER. Now I don't get an error but I remain in the hobbit-enadis page instead of returning to the info page. It do the same from firefox on a linux machine. > -----Original Message----- > From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] > Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 5:56 PM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Re: [hobbit] Problems with hobbit-enadis.cgi from info page > > On Tue, Aug 15, 2006 at 04:16:49PM +0200, Francesco Duranti wrote: > > I've recompiled a clean 4.2.0 with all the patch installed and the > > hobbit-enadis script is working well when called from the > menu (so i > > think i did something wrong during the yesterday patch). > > I continue to get errors while enabling/disabling tests > directly from > > the info page > > > > The test will be disabled/enabled rightly but the script > will put me > > on this page > > http://itromlx10/hobbit-seccgi/(null) > > The code uses the HTTP_REFERER variable provided by your > webserver's CGI, which in turn gets it from the "Referer:" > header that the browser puts into the HTTP request. > > For some reason your browser doesn't generate this header. > After doing some google'ing, I can see that this is not > uncommon when using the Internet Explorer browser.

I've attached a really quick (read: ugly) fix, which sidesteps it by using the C "define" feature to rename the Hobbit host_t type to something else. I think that should make the compile work.

Disk alerts
by billieperez＠gmail.com 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hello - I'm using the big brother windows client with the hobbit server and was wondering if there was a way to specify separate mailing lists for different windows disks? Example: windows systems group gets alerted for C: and D:, application owners get alerted for E:, F: or whatever drive their application software resides on. Currently the alerts are set up where windows group gets alerted for every disk, even if it's something they dont' manage. Thanks in advance for any info.

Apache stats
by steve.aiello＠ge.com 15 Aug '06

I really like the graphs I get with having hobbit pull data from the mod_status module. but I was curious if there were plans to have this show up as an actual hobbit test. Would be interested in setting up thresholds on the stats provided by mod_status. I can do this via a script, but seems most of the functionality is already in hobbit, so figured I would ask. Thank you, Steve

Problems with hobbit-enadis.cgi from info page
by fduranti＠q8.it 15 Aug '06

I've recompiled a clean 4.2.0 with all the patch installed and the hobbit-enadis script is working well when called from the menu (so i think i did something wrong during the yesterday patch). I continue to get errors while enabling/disabling tests directly from the info page The test will be disabled/enabled rightly but the script will put me on this page http://itromlx10/hobbit-seccgi/(null) With an error in the browser error: Not Found The requested URL /hobbit-seccgi/(null) was not found on this server. I tested also with 4.2.0 without any patch installed and i get the same result... > Works really good ... > > Also the hobbitfetch patch is working well... > > I'm having a little problem with the enable-disable page > Called inside the info page i get a web page > http://itromlx10/hobbit-seccgi/(null) > > And the error > Not Found > The requested URL /hobbit-seccgi/(null) was not found on this server. > > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------- > -------- > > Apache/2.0.55 (Red Hat) Server at itromlx10 Port 80 > > If called from a page to disable multiple time i get and > internal server error

[hobbit] Semi-unrelated question on network monitoring
by fduranti＠q8.it 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

I'm using Hobbit to monitor the availability of the routers and at this moment I'm using a standard mrtg setup to get data. To show data got with mrtg I'm currently using routers2.cgi, a simple perl scripts that will let you manage the visualization of data on the page (you can group routers by site or some other mechanism). You can find it at http://www.steveshipway.org/software/ it's simple to setup and really fast. The setup is simple, I'd wrote some scripts to do some thing in automatic, mostly: 1) One script that run during the night and via cfgmaker (standard mrtg script) create one mrtg.cfg file for each device i want to monitor and create history archive. 2) one script that run from hobbit every 5 minutes, get the list of all the cfg file I'm monitoring and launch mrtg with that cfg file (I need cfg files because in the past i got some problems with mrtg exiting when one error was found) 3) A script that simply send a green status to hobbit for each monitored hosts and inside that status message i've put a simple javascript that open a popup page that point directly to the routers2.cgi to open that page.... The nice thing of routers2.cgi is that he can save an archive of all your rrd file mantaining for example the 7 rrd (so you can check up to 7 day of full data), the last 4 rrd of the 1st of the month data (so you can check and compare data of each month). You can also archive single graphs, create a pdf report, do a trend statistical report to see how the usage of network is going in the next few months based on istorical data or you can directly export the data of a routers to csv file and open it with your spreadsheet to analyze what happened. It's snmpv2 compliant so no problems with gigabit interface and with cfgmaker you can automatically create the configuration file you need. There's no automatic setup so you've to create some scripting yourself but the results are good and most of all you've some really well made summary page where you can see all the interface of a router or you can create some custom graphs with the data you need ...
