[hobbit] Anyone working on an NT client?

My management (even the director was curious about this) asked for the same thing, do we have access to the source for the Windows client. So you are not alone there. We told them no, were allowed anyway to install the Windows client, over the objections of some of our security and intel team. :) Fortunately, the intel manager is an old UNIX guy :) Al -----Original Message----- From: PAUL WILLIAMSON [mailto:pwilliamson at mandtbank.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 10:53 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Anyone working on an NT client? >>> KauffmanT at nibco.com 12/28/05 10:30 AM >>> > I'm interested. > > I currently run the BB/Quest bbnt client, but my NT admins would > feel a whole lot better about installing it if we had the source. Why? Do you have the source to Windows NT? How about to Exchange or SAP? I know, maybe Larry will give you the source to Oracle... I don't get why having the source is of any consequence...

Yeah, I just did some looking around -- and I can't find 'UEST' as a time zone. We've got 'EST' (Eastern Standard Time, North America, UTC - 5) and 'EST' (Eastern Summer Time, Australia at UTC + 11, Eastern Standard Time, Australia, UTC + 10) and 'U' (Uniform time zone, military (US?) UTC - 8). I'm going from this site: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/ But the field IS the time-zone field on the headers from the *nix systems. I wonder if we'll see 'UEDT' next year, since Indiana has decided to get back into the "change the clock" game. I'd still like to see the source . . .

LOL, that is some funny ish...I seriously doubt they'd stick the name of their company in the middle of the date. It's probably referencing they are using Universal EST or something like that. I've never heard of that, but I'm guessing that the UEST is not because they misspelled Quest. Paul To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Thanks, Henrik. If he needs another batty (beta) tester, we've got a couple of systems we can slide it onto. We're currently writing additional tests for the bbnt client in perl, FWIW.

I know he's got the development tools setup that he wants to use now, and we exchanged some mail just before christmas about the message format between a Win32 client and the Hobbit server, so it is progressing.

Timezone should be 'EST' or 'EDT'; never seen one with a 'U' as the first letter. I could be wrong, though -- I've never looked.

I'm interested. I currently run the BB/Quest bbnt client, but my NT admins would feel a whole lot better about installing it if we had the source. We're an SAP/R3 shop (AIX on IBM p5 equipment), with your basic NT infrastructure -- MS-Exchange, Active Directory, NT Print Servers, that sort of thing. SAP is now pushing something they call 'portals', using Netweaver on NT to front-end databases (Oracle) on unix (AIX) -- so I have even more NT systems to add to my monitoring.

I looked through all the files you indicated. They are as you suggested. I noticed in my log file I have the following: 2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up signal handlers 2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up hobbitd channels 2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up logfiles 2005-12-28 09:56:26 Task bbnet terminated by signal 4 Do you know what would cause this.

Msgs - No log data available
by Todd.Costa＠state.ma.us 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hello Hob-sters, I have been testing my Hobbit server [4.1.2p1] for a number of weeks now. Its working great and everything is going well so far with my test criteria. I am wondering how do I fix the service type "msgs" that continues to be clear on my hobbit server. The status is reporting the following: "No log data available; The client did not report any logfile data." Not certain why but I am running Debian 3.1 (stable) and I am using the server 4.1.2pl1 .deb from sourceforge. Do I need the hobbitclient .deb to fix this? Its not a huge issue but something I am trying to figure out. Its probably really simple too. Sooo... Looking at the hobbitlaunch.cfg, the hobbitserver.cfg and hobbitclient.sh I can see and follow the scripts with the resulting tests to a msg.txt file created in $BBHOME/TMP but its not getting back to the hobbit display that is showing clear and what I have typed above. ie: no log data... I have noticed a runclient.sh but don't see where its launched or referenced in the cfg files at this point. Would this be the piece I am missing in my configuration? It appears to be getting the data but its not going to the display for what ever reason. So any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance for responding to my questions. PS. I did send this earlier but I did not get a email from the list server indicating a post. So here it is again. ----------------------------- Todd Costa Commonwealth of Massachusetts -----------------------------

bb-hosts question

On the hobbit server (128.210.3.176) my bb-hosts file looks as follows: 128.210.3.176 zada.math.purdue.edu # ntp http://www.math.purdue.edu/ 128.210.3.177 zorn.math.purdue.edu # The web page looks like bbgen cpu disk hobbitd info memory msgs procs trends G G R G G G W G G - G R - G G W G G I assume zada the hobbit client runs independent of zada the hobbit server. Both hosts are sparc solaris machines. Why do I not have the ntp and http column for the zada client? Why do I not have the conn for any host? What file am I missing to make this all come together? _____________________________________________________________________ Robert P.
