Is anyone using hobbit to monitor smtps (secure smtp) ? I am unable to get hobbit to use STARTTLS as I get this error message: Unspecified SSL error in SSL_connect to smtp (6400/tcp) on host xxx.xxx.xxx.xx: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol bb-hosts looks like this: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname # smtps and bb-services looks like this: [smtps] send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options ssl,banner # No default port-number assignment for smtps - nonstandard according to IANA port 25 any idea ?

Arithmetic exception in hobbitd_client
by cits.bogajewski＠daimlerchrysler.com 04 Aug '05

Henrik, would you mind take a look on my next problem? :) As just reported, hobbitd_client module stopped work. This is probably because i copied the fresh compiled hpux-meminfo tool to my client machine. On this machine this tool reports following: [memory] Total:0 Free:0 Any ideas why this happens? On my server machine, where the client is present as well - the memory is well reported. [memory] Total:2047 Free:432 Anyway, hobbitd_client crashes leaving a core file. It seems to be a problem with zero values. take a look: t040m902:/opt/hobbit/server # gdb bin/hobbitd_client core GNU gdb 5.3 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

External Tests
by tmelcher＠saionline.com 03 Aug '05

Does anyone have a sample external test for Hobbit.....I have a few external BigBrother tests that I would like to port over to hobbit. I dont plan on installing a BigBrother client on these boxes, just plan on using the hobbitclient. I tried using the hobbitclient scripts as an example but not having too much success, however I havent dug into it too deep yet.

Hi Henrik, i would like to know if bbhostshow/grep are actually reading the bb- hosts files on disk or if they are only accessing the structure in memory ? Olivier

Repeating Alerts
by PBMURRAY＠syr.edu 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

I need to alternate alerts between two recipients every ten minutes until alert is acknowledged or fixed. I'd like to notify "user 1" after 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 50 minutes, etc. and "user 2" after 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes, etc. For testing, the alert is defined like: HOST=testhost.syr.edu MAIL user1 at syr.edu FORMAT=TEXT DURATION>10 REPEAT=20 MAIL user2 at syr.edu FORMAT=SMS DURATION>20 REPEAT=20 The reality is that alerts go to user1 at 10 minutes, nobody at 20 minutes, both users at 30 minutes, nobody at 40 minutes, both users at 50 minutes, and so on. What's the proper way to accomplish this (we're on Hobbit 4.0.4)? Thanks, Peter Murray Computing and Media Services Syracuse University Syracuse NY 13244 <pbmurray at syr.edu>

hpux client optimization
by cits.bogajewski＠daimlerchrysler.com 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Hi Henrik, Hi Folks, thanks for your help prior, at the moment the server seems to be stable on hpux. Here are some smaller OS related problems with client i noticed. Withing [source]/client/Makefile 3 ifeq ($(OSTYPE),hpux) 4 EXTRATOOLS=hpux-meminfo ..should be hp-ux i guess. At the moment it remains uncompiled. Within "hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh" you redirect output of TOP command, but this not works. The output looks like [?25h[m[H[2J7[1;24r8System: myserver[38CWed Aug 3 14:18:54 2005 Something like this works for me: echo "[top]" top -d 1 -f $BBHOME/tmp/top.OUT cat $BBHOME/tmp/top.OUT rm $BBHOME/tmp/top.OUT Hope it helps. Greetings, Anatoli Bogajewski

mrtg - again
by sblee＠tazmania.org 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Help - I'm confused. I've taken a valid MRTG config file - one that generates MRTG data for one router and made the modifications as described in the HOWTO doc. Hobbit appears to be successfully collecting all the requested data. The Trends page shows 8 identically labeled MRTG graphs; only 2 have data on them. What other information can I provide here to get help understanding why: 1. the existing graphed data doesn't like it's corresponding MRTG grpahed data (MRTG native)? 2. why the graphs aren't labeled as the they are in the native MRTG to differentiate the date? 3. why all the collected data isn't being grpahed? 4. is bbmrtg the better solution than the native Hobbit option?
