[hobbit] easy way to get rid of "actual" memory usage plot?
by gmbfly98＠gmail.com 12 May '06

12 May '06

Is there any easy way to get rid of the "actual" memory usage plot on the graphs? It looks like one could get rid of all "actual" references in hobbitgraph.cgi, but I would think there should be an easier way...

[hobbit] Purples, all non-green view
by David.Gore＠verizonbusiness.com 12 May '06

12 May '06

There was some talk of the purples not showing up on the 'All non-green view'. We are also disappointed that the purples have been removed from this page. Our main page is the ANV page and would really like to have that back. Could we at least have it back with a flag? Or did we some how remove the purples on the ANV page with some flag in the latest snapshot? -- David Gore

[hobbit] client-local.cfg? feature request?
by David.Gore＠verizonbusiness.com 12 May '06

12 May '06

Are there plans to support regular expressions in the client-local.cfg for hostname, log, file, ignore, and trigger? It is not clear what support there is for regular expressions, perhaps it is already there for ignore, and trigger, but not log, file or the hostname? From the documentation: The *file:FILENAME* line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command which will generate the filenames dynamically. I am not sure I can do this: file:"mci-nornxdb0[1-6].SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:SIG_SNMP.`date +%Y%b%d`" But let's assume I can or even that the whole file name has to be a command in back ticks. Do you then put the exact same back ticked string in hobbit-clients.cfg? FILE "mci-nornxdb0[1-6].SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:SIG_SNMP.`date +%Y%b%d`" mtime>900 yellow -- David

Oversize status or data/client msg
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi, What is the unit for "n" and "limit" -is it really bytes?- in following messages: Oversize data/client msg from 1.2.3.4 truncated (n=815596, limit 524288) Oversize status msg from 1.2.3.5 for smaug:ports truncated (n=370718, limit=262144) I'm asking this because although we get quite offen messages like above, the biggest file stored in the histlogs is only ~75 KB. [bb at iris data]$ find hist* -size +75000c -exec ls -la {} \; -rw-r--r-- 1 bb ci 95558 May 9 11:07 ./hist/allevents -rw-r--r-- 1 bb ci 76828 May 5 11:41 ./histlogs/zeb1/ports/Fri_May_5_11:40:59_2006 Dominique UNIL - University of Lausanne

AIX client - can someone confirm a "ps" command?
by henrik＠hswn.dk 10 May '06

10 May '06

I'm modifying the client "ps" command to provide information about processes CPU- and memory-usage, so that sometime in the (not so distant) future Hobbit can track these and perhaps warn if a process becomes a cpu-hog. I have gotten most of the OS'es that Hobbit supports, but I need someone with an AIX box to confirm that this "ps" command works, and provides information about the ressource usage for all processes on the box: ps axww -o pid,ppid,user,stat,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rss,vsz,cmd This was constructed from an AIX man-page I found on the 'net (and it is very much like the others). One thing that puzzled me is that AIX apparently does not support reporting the start-time of a process. It that really correct ? And if not, what is the keyword for this ? And while I have the attention of you AIX people out there: If someone could grab the latest snapshot and build me a Hobbit client for AIX 5.3 I would really appreciate it - I need to install a client on such boxes, but I would have to get the development tools setup first. Thanks, Henrik
