Hi Henrik the latest snapshot now builds fine on my test system (Gentoo Linux x86, Hobbit 4.2-pre built with GCC 3.4.5). When starting it, I get this error in hobbitd.log : 2006-03-13 10:24:41 How did this happen? clients=0, s.sem_op=0 2006-03-13 10:28:45 Setup complete However, it runs fine. Time to test the "disable until" and DOWNTIME settings for individual tests... Regards, -- Frédéric Mangeant Steria EDC Sophia-Antipolis

[hobbit] Stop Reporting - All Device Become Purple

Hi all, my problem for the purple status is still happening. There is nothing in the log file. Any body has idea? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 1:26 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Stop Reporting - All Device Become Purple On Tue, Mar 07, 2006 at 12:21:33PM +0700, Zakki Ashshidiqi wrote: > > My hobbit reported that all the device stopping the report.

What's in the logfiles ? Especially the bb-network.log, hobbitd.log, hobbitclient.log and the hobbitlaunch.log. Normally, these are mostly empty. Does this happen for only the network tests (conn, ssh, http and so on), or the client-side tests (cpu, disk, memory, procs), or all tests ?

dispinclude not working in 4.1.2pre
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hi Henrik, The dispinclude is not working in the latest snapshot I downloaded. Hobbit was compiled under Solaris 9. The problem seems to be in function stackfgets in lib/stackio.c. I added following if statement to make it work: [super at iris lib]# diff stackio.c stackio.c.dist 407c407,408 < if (extraincl && (strncmp(*buffer, extraincl, strlen(extraincl)) == 0)) { --- > if ( (strncmp(*buffer, "include ", 8) == 0) || > (extraincl && (strncmp(*buffer, extraincl, strlen(extraincl)) == 0)) ) { 410,424d410 < eol = strchr(*buffer, '\n'); if (eol) *eol = '\0'; < newfn = *buffer + strlen(extraincl); < newfn += strspn(newfn, " \t"); < < if (*newfn && (stackfopen(newfn, "r", (void **)fdhead->listhead) != NULL)) < return stackfgets(buffer, bufferlen, extraincl);< else { < errprintf("WARNING: Cannot open extra-include file '%s', line was:%s\n", newfn, buffer); < if (eol) *eol = '\n'; < return result; < } < } < else if (strncmp(*buffer, "include ", 8) == 0) { < char *newfn, *eol; < Dominique

NK-view + bbtray
by lars.ebeling＠leopg9.no-ip.org 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

Dear all, today am I using bb-tray to check the old bbnk view, so that I get an alarm when something change there. Both loudly and on the screen. I just read that the old bbnk-view will disappear in the future. Will there be something similar in the windows hobbit-application?

[hobbit] NCV module doesn't seem to accept GAUGE
by Jehrenberg＠nysar.com 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

I did not have a new line between NCV_ExchDB and NCV_smtphealth, but I did add one but it didn't make a difference. The ExchDB GAUGE is not working either. When I dump the rrd file it also shows up us DERIVE. I am running Hobbit 4.1.2p1. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Vande More [mailto:bigdan at gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 5:33 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] NCV module doesn't seem to accept GAUGE Is it the formatting of your email client, or are you missing a newline between NCV_ExchDB and NCV_smtphealth?

Randomly purple...
by lhaught＠broadline.tv 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

I can finally say that I have hobbit working. Still a lot to do with the alert system and getting it laid out how I want it to do status alerts, but everything is happy and green and doing well... ...except. This morning I came in to the office to discover lots of purple status markers. I dug into the reports and found literally nothing that reported as anything except green status. I am a little confused, I see how I can stop the alteration from effecting server status reports, but I don't see how to stop it from happening, specifically, I can't see why it is happening. Thanks, --L
