Interesting thing on multi-host graphing
by jeffnewman75＠gmail.com 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

All, Don't know if I am unique in this aspect but thought I would post something I discovered on multi-host graphing (this may be documented, if so, I apologize) I you wanted to graph multiple hosts on the load average graph, you would: 1. click on the "CPU" button for the host 2. click on the graph to get the 4 CPU graphs 3. change the host= in the URL line to be host=hosta,hostb That will work. What doesn't work is: 1. click on the "Trends" button for the host 2. click on the CPU graph to get the 4 CPU graphs 3. change the host= in the URL line to be host=hosta,hostb On the option that doesn't work, it: * changes the title to "Muti-host CPU load last 48 hours" * adds the host name + color to the legend at the bottom But never adds the second host. So the difference is the method of entry into the 4 CPU graph's. Going through the CPU button to get to it works, but going through trends to get to the 4 cpu graph's does not. -Jeff name

[hobbit] Alerting on Server Reboot

Doh! Forgot to mention this is primarily for Windows Servers (I know, I know, not my group :) --Pat -----Original Message----- From: Dan Vande More [mailto:bigdan at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 10:54 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Alerting on Server Reboot Pat, One of the things I've done in the past is have a init.d script (For linux at least), that emails your account that the server just booted. Something like this: #!/bin/sh echo "`hostname -f` just rebooted!" | mail -s "`hostname -f` just rebooted!" admin at domain.com EOF Maybe you could just append that to your hobbit client's init scripts?

Alerting on Server Reboot
by PNIXON＠ci.somerville.ma.us 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hey all, Does anyone have a recommended solution for triggering an alert when a server is rebooted? Assuming it comes back up within the ping cycle, the conn test still passes. I'm aware that the CPU turns yellow due to the reboot, but is it possible to build an alert rule to trigger on ServerX CPU = Yellow? Thanks for any feedback... --Pat

Help needed, graph problem

Hello all, i would like to display more then "one" Graph on conn test (and cpu). Is it possible to show the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graph like in mrtg? I found no configurable variable in hobbitserver.cfg nor hobbitgraph.cfg. Thanks in advance. Mathias

stopping purple alerts
by great.dilla＠gmail.com 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Fellows, I need your help regarding hobbit alerts. I need to stop the sending of purple messages of services being monitored in the clients. I have already edited the file: hobbitserver.cfg ... and changed the line: ALERTCOLORS="red,yellow" (removing purple) The info column shows that the service being monitored has alerts on color yellow and red only. What other files do I need to edit for the alerts to send emails only on red and yellow colors? There is another line having purple but has comments that it is only used on BB. I haven't made modifications to it yet. If ever it is needed, do I need to re-start hobbit server after modifications? Any help you could extend will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Great

The interesting thing is that hobbitd here is doing a re-allocation of a buffer, but asking for 0 bytes - and apparently, HP-UX doesn't like that. But I don't see how it can get to asking for 0 bytes in that part of the code... Could you start gdb again, but instead of the "bt" command do this: gdb> fr 10 gdb> p used gdb> p needed gdb> p bufsz gdb> p bufp gdb> p buf and mail me the output?

Hobbit with shares.pl file?
by Shawn.Maschino＠ge.com 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Is anyone running the shares.pl scripts from deadcat to monitor file shares with Hobbit? If I run the script from the console manually everything works fine - it checks the shares, reports in, and I get the "shares" column in Hobbit. When I add it to hobbitlaunch.cfg however it doesn't run at every 5 minutes as scheduled. This is the only add-on I have this problem with. There is nothing strange in the hobbitlaunch.log or shares.log where I direct the output. Here is my hobbitlaunch.cfg entry, can anyone think of anything else it may be? [shares] ENVFILE /bb4/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD /bb4/bb/server/ext/shares.pl LOGFILE /bb4/bb/server/shares.log INTERVAL 5m

After the "Setting up logfiles", that's where the hobbitd output goes. This ought to generate a core-file in the ~hobbit/data/tmp/ directory.

Hobbit crashes

Hi all, I have just migrated from BB to Hobbit. I have run Hobbit beside my old BB installation on port 1985 for testing and configuring. Today I have shut down old BB and switched my Hobbit server and clients back to port 1984. Everything worked fine but an hour later some of the hobbit processes are crashing shortly after restarting hobbit. I am running hobbit 4.1.2p1 on HP-UX 11.11.

[hobbit] Users / Procs Graphing problem

Something even more curious, I've just had a closer look at the rrdtool dump and it seems the 5minute data is fully intact, however when it rolls it over to the half hour and increasing time periods that the errors creep in. This looks like it could be an rrd issue, I'll try upgrading rrd first methinks.

I was a bit silly when I suggested that you pull the data from the web. An easier way (and it gives me some more interesting data to work with) would be to get it directly from the hobbit daemon. So just run bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdlog bad,client,name.cpu" and save this to a file. The reason this is more interesting is because it provides data about when the last status message was received and such.
