[hobbit] multiple graphs in detail test view
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 09 Mar '06

It works, with some interesting side effects :) Edited my hobbitcgi.cfg file and added the "--multigraphs=disk,if_load" statement (the arguments and their order don't seem to matter, as long as if_load is in there). At this point, my graph was as it was before (to be expected, since I hadnt edited my hobbitserver.cfg yet), however, 14 additional graphs, all of them blank, appeared (in the html source code, the graph block was prefaced by a "" comment. The urls are all the same, /w the exception of the "first" argument that gets passed to hobbitgraph.sh; it gets incremented by 4 on every link (which, incidently, is what the 'count' argument is set to). Now, when I edit my hobbitserver.cfg and edit the if_load portion of the GRAPHS option to appear as "if_load::2," my graphs appear correctly (i.e one graph to an ifc). Yay! However, now the blank graph count has nearly quadrupled to 57. Aiieee! The urls are still nearly identical, with first counting up to 59, but now by increments of 1 (which is what 'count' is set to). Tried fiddling with various knobs and buttons, but couldn't find anything that caused positive changes... -Eric > -----Original Message----- > From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] > Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 1:36 AM > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: Re: [hobbit] multiple graphs in detail test view > > On Wed, Mar 08, 2006 at 05:11:15PM -0500, Schwimmer, Eric E *HS wrote: > > > Now, my question is, is it possible, in the if_load test page, to > > make hobbit display a separate graph for each interface? > For instance, > > I have ifcs Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 on a switch dumping data into > two separate > > files (if_load.gi0_1.rrd and if_load.gi0_2.rrd, respectively). > > > > My hobbitgraphs.cfg stanza looks something like: > > > > [if_load] > > FNPATTERN if_load.(.*).rrd > > TITLE load test > [snip] > > I want to each ifc to display a separate graph, as things can > > get muddled when you have 20 different ifcs on one graph.

multiple graphs in detail test view
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 09 Mar '06

Hi all, I've got Devmon collecting rrd data now, which will hopefully let me (and others) eschew with having to run MRTG. I've got a quick question, however. Right now I'm just testing things with my if_load test, under which I have 5 or 6 interfaces dumping data into separate rrd files (with inbound and outbound load data in each file). Now, my question is, is it possible, in the if_load test page, to make hobbit display a separate graph for each interface? For instance, I have ifcs Gi0/1 and Gi0/2 on a switch dumping data into two separate files (if_load.gi0_1.rrd and if_load.gi0_2.rrd, respectively). My hobbitgraphs.cfg stanza looks something like: [if_load] FNPATTERN if_load.(.*).rrd TITLE load test YAXIS Percent DEF:loadin at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:loadin:AVERAGE DEF:loadout at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:loadout:AVERAGE LINE2:loadin at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ load in GPRINT:loadin at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:loadin at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:loadin at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:loadin at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n LINE2:loadout at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ load out GPRINT:loadout at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:loadout at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:loadout at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:loadout at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n I want to each ifc to display a separate graph, as things can get muddled when you have 20 different ifcs on one graph. Is this possible? And, if so, is it possible to do on a global basis (i.e. not on a host-by-host basis in the bb-hosts file). TIA, -Eric

[hobbit] Feasibility of Windows Client
by papo＠dcentral.net 09 Mar '06

09 Mar '06

Well, FWIW, I managed to compile the hobbit client on Windows 98 using cygwin and it does something. Well, it runs the scripts and creates the msg.txt but I never saw it reported back to the display even though I see it connected (or try to connect) to the 1984 port. I have to do more research why it's not showing up. :/ Luis

running hobbit on jetty

>Hmm, I guess that just shows I didn't really understand what CGI >variables are standard and which aren't. After googl'ing a bit, I >think this might be a reasonable thing to do as SCRIPT_NAME appears to >be more standardized (it's defined in the original CGI specification >from the oooooold NCSA http server). It's funny, when I started looking at the log to figure out why the CGI's were failing it seems that , Jetty does keep the REQUEST_URI internally, but the CGI servlet does not pass the variable to the CGI. (Servlet gap? , I've not checked the servlet code...). I was not expecting this to be changed. I just wanted to point it out in case somebody else is interested in running Hobbit in Jetty instead of Apache. I think that other changes that I might do could be considered site dependent customization, but I'll be happy to share them as soon as I'm done. I'm still doing due dilligence on how I want to modify hobbit to be able to monitor a specific application. I'll keep you posted. :) Regards, Luis

silly-a** question on hobbit, timezones, and the dread purple status
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

My hobbit server is in Indiana (US) and we've just decided to start doing the 'change the clock twice a year' shtick again. Do I need to worry about what alerts we'll get when the time shifts by an hour, twice a year? Or does hobbit walk the status messages and re-date them when the shift occurs?

Thanks, Larry - I thought it wan't an issue, I just couldn't remember why. One less problem on a problematic day!

Installing Hobbit in Jetty
by papo＠dcentral.net 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi: I wanted to leverage the use of XUL in conjunction with hobbit, and I managed to get Hobbit installed and running using Jetty as my HTML engine. There were some changes I had to do in the code to get it going, namely changing all the instances from REQUESTED_URI to SCRIPT_NAME in the CGI's and Web Forms, but other than that I got it up and running out of the box. If there is interest for me to write somewhere how I got it going, please let me know. (It might be a long email, before I clog your mailboxes, I rather ask first :) ). Luis Anaya

Dropping multiple tests
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hello - I have a test setup on one of my systems that is not pushing out data quite as I expected. In addition to the column information that I want to keep, it is adding columns on a random basis. I know that we can drop a single column or all the tests for a host, but is there any way to remove tests on a wildcard basis? (I.E bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hostname test_to_drop*") I need to keep the information for several of the tests but I wind up having to manually remove about 50 tests a day so far... :( If there's not, any chance it can be added in a future release? Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

[hobbit] Stop Reporting - All Device Become Purple

The log is below. I think there is nothing in the log, as the problem happen I create A cron job to restart the service ever hour. The failed test is for the network test.

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 ?
