[hobbit] enable/disable user control
by brodie＠mcw.edu 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

I don't think there is a way to do this, as the web-based access into the hobbit management interface is all or nothing-- once you are "authenticated", you can enable/disable hosts, add/delete systems from the critical systems list, etc. Although I think this would be a nice-to-have for the future, my guess is that its implementation would be somewhat complex......... --------------------------------------------------------- Kent C.

What is the response?
by dave＠syix.com 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Is there a way to determine what this really means... "yellow Thu Jul 27 05:36:54 2006 ftp NOT ok Service ftp on syix.com is not OK : Unexpected service response" I manually test over and over again, and it never fails... Always gives me a proper response. Hobbit shows it up again this fast: green Thu Jul 27 05:38:59 2006 ftp ok Just wondering if there is a flag or something that I can see what the "unexpected" response really is? Any suggestions?

bbwin_0.7 cpu %
by dave＠auctionhelper.com 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Does anyone have any advice on how to gauge the cpu % on the bbwin client. After I upgraded the client my Dell 6850 (with either dual xeon or quad). Now the numbers on the side of the rrd chart has 0.0 - 1.0 - 2.0 and it says sql server is using 191.0 %. How are you supposed to read this?

[hobbit] RRD errors- where to look?>
by JMSmith＠stvincenthealth.com 27 Jul '06

I don't know. But it sure does look like that server is sending two sets of results. Do you have two Hobbit servers set up with one forwarding to the other? Or two clients on that misbehaving server? Or perhaps a duplicate entry for the Hobbit server in the bb-host file on the offending server? ________________________________ From: Brodie, Kent [mailto:brodie at mcw.edu] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 11:24 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] RRD errors- where to look?> I have no BB hosts any more.

hobbitlaunch.cfg question
by kolbjorn.barmen＠uninett.no 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

I'm wondering... the hobbitlaunch.cfg man page says.. "The key is enclosed in angle brackets, and must be unique for each task. You can choose your key-names as you like, they are only used internally in hobbitlaunch to identify each task." But what if I do have 2 keys with identical names, which one will be used? I get the impression that it's the last one, but I'm not sure. My idea is that I can leave the "original" hobbitlaunch.cfg untouched except for a "directory hobbitlaunch.d" at the end, and then override keys with files in that directory. -- Kolbjørn Barmen UNINETT Driftsenter
