Newbie - Source data?
by Mike.Barfield＠syniverse.com 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

All, I installed Hobbit a few weeks ago and it running fine. Someone in upper management happened to see Hobbit in action and now wants more. He uses nothing but Excel and therefore wants the raw Hobbit data so he can play with spreadsheets all day long. My question is where can I find the raw data that Hobbit uses to create it's graphs? Namely the "trends" graph for "cpu Utilization". I've looked at the data/hist/hostname/ files, but it doesn't look like they're used for graph generation. TIA Mike Barfield Syniverse Technologies

Graph/Track page in/out faults AIX
by jeffnewman75＠gmail.com 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi, I have an AIX box where the customer wants to know if I can use hobbit to track/graph page in/out faults. vmstat appears to have this information in it's output. So is there a way to get hobbit to show this since it is collecting the vmstat information anyway? Thanks, Jeff

Debian3.1-Exim4 and Alerts in Hobbit
by Todd.Costa＠state.ma.us 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any experience with setting up the email alerts in Hobbit to be sent via Exim4 on a Debian server to external recipients? This seems to be one of the last pieces I am putting together to migrate from BB to Hobbit. And I am kinda stuck with what I need to do to get it working. I am not very familiar with email servers settings of any kind right now. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Todd Costa Commonwealth of Massachusetts ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "Work Smarter not Harder...use Open Standards with Software that supports it."

It's just not the way Hobbit (or BB, for that matter) works. The latest status received is always the current one - sending a status with "+30" only indicates that an update must be received within 30 minutes. It doesn't mean that this status is valid for 30 minutes no matter what else is received. >From my point of view, sending a "green" for a status that is down is broken. Either send another "red", or don't send anything at all. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk

Status Changes Question
by PNIXON＠ci.somerville.ma.us 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hey all, I'm looking to add hobbit to a script I have. I've coded in sending the messages at the appropriate places with the right colors based on the situation. However, if the status goes red, and then during the next cycle of the script, it goes green, HobbitServer changes the status to green, even though the red was sent with status+30 Ideally the behavior I'm looking for is.... Time Status 0 Green 15 Red 30 Green (Hobbit ignores this because it was red for only 15 minutes, not 30 minutes) 45 Green (Hobbit changes the test status to Green now, because it's been 30 minutes). If it doesn't make sense, please send follow up questions so I can flesh it out some more. Thanks, --Pat
