bbd display...

Ok, one more from the peanut gallery. on my current status page, the only system currently reporting correct operations is the local system the server is installed in. However literally everything else is showing correctly. So, I know the service is running unless bbd is referancing the daemon side of the server. So, I have 4 systems reporting, Name bbd bbgen bbtest conn cpu disk etc etc server green green green green green green sys1 red blank blank green blank blank sys2 red blank blank green green green sys3 red blank blank green green green So I have the bbd, bbgen, bbtest configs set the same for all the systems, I just fail to see why I am getting the odd behavior off of the remote systems when literally everything else is reporting correctly showing that the hobbit-client service is in fact functioning. --Launce

Well.. I got a Windows client.. sort of...

Hi: I managed to get the hobbit client working on Cygwin. In a way there it is a way to have some basic monitoring on windows boxes. Perhaps with some scripts and connections to COM components, something interesting could be done in this setup, like talking to Outlook and get tasks and such. The only caveat is that the server does not have a trap to handle cygwin hosts, hence my hair pulling for the past few days. I worked it around by spoofing the server by changing the reported operating system on the client from cygwin to linux and then changing the linux script to be cygwin friendly. Regards, Luis

HTML Code in Alerts

I am using server custom scripts that return HTML code to the hobbit for displaying. One of which is bbmrtg! I upgraded the latest snapshot because of another e-mail stating that it was patched in RC2. I am still getting the following: red Sun Feb 26 03:12:35 2006 &red<A HREF="http://10.32.1.48/cgi-bin/routers2.cgi?rtr=master.cfg&bars=Cami&pa ge=graph&xgtype=dwmy&xgstyle=l2&if=mrtg.10.32.3.229.mult1&xmtype=options ">Traffic Analysis for Multilink 1 Ranson to Orange:</A> In: 333800 bytes/sec (86.5%) Out: 10590 bytes/sec (2.7%) <CENTER> <A HREF="http://10.32.1.48/cgi-bin/routers2.cgi?rtr=master.cfg&bars=Cami&pa ge=graph&xgtype=dwmy&xgstyle=l2&if=mrtg.10.32.3.229.mult1&xmtype=options "><IMG SRC="http://10.32.1.48/cgi-bin/routers2.cgi?rtr=master.cfg&if=mrtg.10.32 .3.229.mult1&xgtype=d&page=image" ALT="Last 24 Hours" BORDER=0></A> </CENTER> <TABLE BORDER=1 ALIGN=CENTER> <TR> <TH COLSPAN=6>Rules</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD>In</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=red>< 0.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=yellow>< 0.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=green>0.0% - 60.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=yellow>> 60.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=red>> 80.0%</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Out</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=red>< 0.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=yellow>< 0.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=green>0.0% - 60.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=yellow>> 60.0%</TD> <TD BGCOLOR=red>> 80.0%</TD> </TR> </TABLE> How can I get the Hobbit to send everything as HTML formatted e-mails vice text?

hobbitd_client crashing on FreeBSD 4.11
by glarkin＠sourcehosting.net 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Hi there, I am monitoring a FreeBSD 4.11 box with Hobbit, and it works greats except for an occasional hobbitd_client process crash. I have been noticing this because I'll see a purple icon on my monitoring web page. This shows up in the /var/log/hobbit/clientdata.log file on the FBSD box: 2006-03-05 12:01:12 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating 2006-03-05 12:01:18 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating 2006-03-07 18:16:05 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating 2006-03-07 18:16:10 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating It looks to me that the hobbitd_client process is respawned, because all I have to do is reset the display with a command like: ./bb 127.0.0.1 "drop my.host.name hobbitd_client" That gets rid of the purple icon. I found a core file for the process, but it doesn't yield much: -su-2.05b$ pwd /home/hobbit/server/tmp -su-2.05b$ gdb ../bin/hobbitd_client hobbitd_client.core GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[hobbit] Status issues

You may have missed the point. You need to change the entry to: 192.168.0.126 DBR # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET ftps bbd http://dbr.sf-office.broadline.tv <http://dbr.sf-office.broadline.tv/> CLIENT: dbr.sf-office.broadline.tv "DBR" (the host name above) does not equal "dbr.sf-office.broadline.tv" the host name reported by the client. Believe it or not, the server also runs a client -- part of the elegance of Henrik's design...
