[hobbit] bb-dftab
by Allan.Marillier＠dana.com 11 Sep '05

11 Sep '05

Thanks again Larry! That did it. I need to get a few old BigBrother ideas out of my head and do more reading in hobbit man pages and examples. I was misled by the hobbitclient.cfg which shows BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab", as well as bb-proctab, bb-msgtab and bb-cputab I assume then that the same applies to all of those settings, that they will all be set in hobbit-clients.cfg on the server. Which makes me wonder - Henrik, I'm sure you had a good reason for putting BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab" etc in the hobbitclient.cfg on the client, but what purpose does it serve there? "Larry.Barber at usda.gov" <Larry.Barber at usda.gov> 09/02/2005 01:51 PM Please respond to hobbit at hswn.dk To "hobbit at hswn.dk" <hobbit at hswn.dk> cc Subject Re: [hobbit] bb-dftab When using the hobbit client you need to set those on the Hobbit server in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file. There is no client side configuration for the hobbit client, at least for notification thresholds.

4.1.1 client issue
by craig＠cookitservices.com 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Not sure if this is worth reporting or not since I am doing something undocumented ;) Compiled Hobbit on CentOS 4. /home/hobbit/server/* /home/hobbit/client/* etc Copied "client/*" to another CentOS 4 box. Instead of running as the user "hobbit" as documented, I'm running it in my own user directory for testing. client$ cd /home/craig/ client$ ./client/runclient.sh start logs show this: 2005-09-09 14:37:54 hobbitlaunch starting 2005-09-09 14:37:54 Loading tasklist configuration from ./client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg 2005-09-09 14:37:54 Cannot open env file /home/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg - No such file or directory The runclient.sh script looks like it may handle this... No big deal, I should create a hobbit user for my client boxes. Craig Cook -- Systems Monitoring Consulting and Support Services http://www.cookitservices.com

[hobbit] error creating rrd DS (invalid DS name)

Any ideas? > Where are the constraints on DS names listed? The constraints are in the rrdcreate doc : http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/doc/rrdcreate.en.html There is a debug option (--debug) to most hobbit programs, so you can add this flag in hobbitlaunch.cfg and see if you get more infos about the rrdcreate. In the hobbitd/do_rrd.c, you can find the error message at this line (around line 143 in my snaphsot): errprintf("RRD error creating %s: %s\n", filedir, rrd_get_error()); The error comes from the rrd_create two lines above. And the "if (debug)" block beginning at line 128 shows the rrdcreate parameters. Hope this'll help. Nicolas Figaro

New version of hobbit
by mailinglists＠websitemanagers.com.au 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Just wondering if we are likely to see the next version of hobbit soon? I'm hoping to get a debian client package that I can easily roll out across the network to replace all my old BB installations. PS, do you know what would be needed to support a debian repository so people can just add the lines to their apt/sources files and automatically see when updates are available? Thanks, Adam

External script and large intervals
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 08 Sep '05

08 Sep '05

Hi, I'm running hobbit snapshot from the 26th of august. I'd like to run an external script on my hobbit server, but only once or twice a day. So the hobbitlaunch.cfg should contain this : [my-script] NEEDS hobbitd CMD ~hobbit/server/ext/my-script INTERVAL 4h I started to configure an interval of 60 minutes, but the status becomes purple after 20 minutes. Is there a way I can tell hobbit to run the script with such interval without a purple state after 20 minutes ? Thanks Nicolas Figaro

I guess I missed something trying to add data collection for a test I created.

Auxiliary status is: file server running. &green calls waiting: 0 &green -------- I added ",afs=ncv" to the end of TEST2RRD and NCV_afs="Auxiliarystatusis=NONE,callswaiting=GAUGE" in hobbitserver.cfg I get this in rrd-status.log: 2005-09-07 15:41:21 RRD error creating /usr/pkg/hobbit/data/rrd/afs-6.iastate.edu/afs.rrd: Invalid DS name As hobbit, I can touch this file to create it.

Problem with Ldap
by plardinois＠be.tiauto.com 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hello, I am trying to use the ldap test on a Win2003 server, but it doesn't work. Following this post, it seems to be related to the authentication and the use of ldaplogin tag. The problem is I have no idea how to use this tag ? Can you give me an example of the line I should write in bb-host ? Thank you very much. Pierre. Ok, I figured it out. 2003 REQUIRES that you use an ldaplogin=username:password in the bb-hosts file, whereas 2000 did not. Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Lowery, Michael Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 7:08 AM To: hobbit (at) hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] LDAP Windows 2003 The ldap format that I used to test Windows 2000 servers does not appear to work on Windows 2003 servers.
