performance issue with multiple pagesets
by olivier＠qalpit.com 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hi Henrik, i loaded hobbit 4.0.5RC1 on my standby server (which isn't as fast as my production bbgen3.5 server..) i'm having lots of iowait, (it isn't swapping), i suspect it's bbgen i have 8 pagesets, and my hobbit/www directory is over 20M... and generating all that every minute (sshhh.. i know..) i'm using most of my pagesets only for the bb2.html, and i am not using the bb.html page at all. here's what is looks for my unix pageset : [root at bigbrother-stdby www]# ls -lh unix/ total 2.0M -rw-r--r-- 1 bb-dev alert 94K Jul 20 16:22 bb2.html -rw-r--r-- 1 bb-dev alert 1.8M Jul 20 16:22 bb.html -rw-r--r-- 1 bb-dev alert 519 Jul 20 16:22 bbnk.html lrwxrwxrwx 1 bb-dev alert 7 Jul 20 16:07 index.html -> bb.html [root at bigbrother-stdby www]# --> Is there a way to disable the generating of the bb.html page for pagesets ? -- Olivier Beau

Acknowledging & Enable/Disable Permissions
by pbmurray＠syr.edu 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

In our quest for a more distributed environment, we have a need to allow a select group of users the ability to acknowledge alerts, but do NOT want to give those users the ability to enable/disable any of the services. It appears that a given userID/password will allow both. Is there any way we can restrict this to disallow the enable/disable ability for some but not all? Thank you.

Failover Servers
by PBMURRAY＠syr.edu 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

I have two Hobbit servers with the intent of using one as a failover server. Each is set up to monitor the same hosts. They differ in how the Hobbit servers themselves are defined. Within the primary server I have "# BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://primary-server" for the primary server and nothing additional for the failover. Within the failover server I have "# BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://failover-server" for the failover server and nothing additional for the primary. (Yes, I did simplify the names for purpose of illustration.) Both servers sit outside of a firewall and monitor servers on each side of the firewall. When either server is up and the other down everything is fine. Or, if both servers are up and I modify their bb-hosts file so that they don't know of each other, everything is fine as well. However, when both servers are up and one knows of the other it's a different story. The "conn" column for the monitored servers that reside behind the firewall goes red, even though I can still successfully ping those servers. These fluctuate between red and green about every minute. I'm at a loss as to what to do. A couple of months ago it was mentioned that a detailed walk-through of how to setup two Hobbit servers existed (Brian Lynch?). Is this document available for downloading or does anyone have any thoughts as to how to solve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

[hobbit] hobbitd.log : Oversize status msg
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Ce paramètre est défini dans le script "configure" de hobbit. Il faut donc recompiler hobbit. This parameter is in the configure script that comes with the hobbit source archive. You need to recompile hobbit.

[hobbit] Newbie install questions
by Al.Jeffcoat＠orhs.org 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

You'll need to install rrdtool-devel also. I'm not sure but I think I also had to do pcre-devel to put hobbit on fc4 here. HTH. Al -----Original Message----- From: richard kennard [mailto:richard.kennard at oxfordgenomesciences.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 11:58 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Newbie install questions Dear All, Please forgive what (no doubt) will be very noddy level questions! I'm running fedora core 4, and am trying to install hobbit. I've installed rrd using the rpm (rrdtool-1.0.49-5.fc4.i386.rpm) and it /appears/ to have installed. When I attempt to run ./configure I get: Checking for RRDtool ... RRDtool include- or library-files not found. These are REQUIRED for hobbitd RRDtool can be found at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ If you have RRDtool installed, use the "--rrdinclude DIR" and "--rrdlib DIR" options to configure to specify where they are. When I add the rrinclude and rrdlib lines (pointing to /usr/bin and user/lib respectively) I get: Checking for RRDtool ... test-rrd.c:3:17: error: rrd.h: No such file or directory test-rrd.c: In function ÔÇÿmainÔÇÖ: test-rrd.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_clear_errorÔÇÖ test-rrd.c:30: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_graphÔÇÖ make: *** [test-compile] Error 1 Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x test-rrd.c:3:17: error: rrd.h: No such file or directory test-rrd.c: In function ÔÇÿmainÔÇÖ: test-rrd.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_clear_errorÔÇÖ test-rrd.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function ÔÇÿrrd_graphÔÇÖ make: *** [test-compile] Error 1 ERROR: RRDtool include files found in /usr/bin, but compile fails. Any advice would be much appeciated! Also, is there an FAQ or archive somewhere? Cheers!

[hobbit] bbmessage.cgi
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

It's probably because your bbmessage.cgi isn't in a cgi configured directory. (so the server acts like it's a common text file, and doesn't try to execute it). You should check your httpd config file. (or put bbmessage.cgi to a Cgi-able directory, like ~hobbit/cgi-bin for example).

The attached patch should solve this, hopefully also on those platforms that don't have a built-in strtoll() routine. This is for Hobbit 4.0.4 - the next version will have a (slightly different) version of this included. Regards, Henrik

hobbitlaunch.cfg trouble + RE : [hobbit] Mrtg with Hobbit howto
by nfigaro＠effigie.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi, bbmrtg.pl works fine for me. I only commented the rrd section, as I didn't install the rrd perl modules. (and mrtg runs without rrd). I only had troubles when setting the parameters in hobbitlaunch.cfg, as the CMD and LOGFILE kept the last space character. (the log was named "bbmrtg.log " and hobbitd tried to run "bbmrtg.pl "). I removed both last space character, and it works fine.
