Hi Henrik Been watching this carefully, and seeing hobbitd test go yellow all the time. Is there a list of what all the numbers mean, and what they should be in the hobbitd results? Mine looked like this, which is all very nice, but what so they mean?

I have been running Hobbit for a few months now, and everything has been good. Upgraded to 4.0.3, and all was well. The suddenly, a few days ago, I started getting intermittant errors when I click on the faces/blobs for more information. Sometimes it works, and I get what I want. Other times, it times out and I get "Status not available" on a white screen. I tried the following 1. Restarting Hobbit. 2. Restarting the web server 3. Rebooting the server 4. Upgrading to Hobbit 4.0.4 Still no improvement. Looking again, I can rule out the Web server, because I get the main page, and the column info links on the column description works. I think I can rule out the network, because all the monitored machines are reachable and pingable from Hobbit. I think I ruled out a bug by upgrading to 4.0.4 I am still getting e-mail alerts (some of the time) and graphs are being updated (partially). When it does the "Status not available" trick for long periods of time, it doesn't upgrade the status or the graphs during that period. Any ideas, pointers or tips?

Something else I noticed. Sometimes, the main screen gives me the header and the footer, and no info. No blobs/smileys, no columns, no server names, nothing. Just the menu, the logo, "CURRENT STATUS" and the date at the top, and a line. Then the footer. Line and Hobbit version. It is also on a green background, even though I have at least one test that is reporting yellow.

Another LARRD issue
by patrick_a_vaughan＠hotmail.com 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Thanks to Henrik for clearing up my previous problem, my bad. I have it working now. My next hurdle is that I have lots of information that I'd like to graph from a single test that won't graph well together... Some values are always in the single digits, some values are in the many thousands. Can I get more than one graph definition to display under the test? The other option I thought of is populating a different graph for each value and using @RRDFN@, but I don't see a good way to group the results in a meaningfull way.

BBRELAY

Running hobbit 4.0.4 with only bbnet and bbproxy active I want to have hobbitd startet to handle the relay function and running bbdisplay. When editing the BBDISP="0.0.0.0" and BBDISPLAYS="10.10.10.10 10.10.10.20" all local tests goes fine. I can see in the bb-network log file that bbnet sends status data to both servers. However all client tests are not relayed to the second host. Which process should handle this trafic ? BR Thomas

Hobbit and HPOV NNM
by Mark.Coupe＠state.ma.us 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hi, I'm trying to push Hobbit alarms up to HPOV NNM (reference what "Guillaume" did in BB (re: http://support.bb4.com/archive/200203/msg00670.html)) However, his method will not work with Hobbit and I'm wondering if anyone has an external script or maybe some guidance that they can provide. Guillaume's solution was to edit line 1227 of bbpage.c to create a community for Ucd-SNMP and recompile bbd as well as making some configuration changes in bbwarnrules.cfg and bbwarnsetup.cfg. Thanks, -Mark

[hobbit] Hobbit and HPOV NNM

There's no need for that silliness. At least in BB. When you want to push alarms up via traps, just list trap-x.x.x.x as a recipient rather than an e-mail address or a pager. x.x.x.x is the ip address of the trap receiver. I'm not sure if this trick works in Hobbit however.

larrds extra-tests
by patrick_a_vaughan＠hotmail.com 29 Jun '05

I'm trying to setup some custom graphs and an having some problems. It doesn't look like the extra-script is running. Here is the relavent lines from hobbitlaunch.cfg: CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/larrd-status.log hobbitd_larrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-script=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-ext-larrd.sh CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/larrd-data.log hobbitd_larrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-tests=vmio Here's my testing script: #!/bin/sh # Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile HOSTNAME="$1" TESTNAME="$2" FNAME="$3" echo "HOSTNAME=$1 TESTNAME=$2 FNAME=$3" > /tmp/hobbit-ext-larrd.out I tried adding LARRD:*,vmio to the bb-hosts file for one of the nodes. I took that back out and added it to the LARRDS and GRAPHS options in hobbitserver.cfg. I get the graph icon on the bottom of my screen, but the script never runs (it never writes the tmp file). There has to be something simple that I'm missing, but I don't see it.

Hmm - hadn't thought about that. I'd say it ought to work, but looking at the way recovery messages are handled it seems you're right - if the max. duration has been reached, the recovery message is never sent. It's a bug. Will fix.

Alert rules

Hi, I've been asked to try to make alerts only send 2 emals, at most, and still send a RECOVERED message when things recover. As a quick test, I set DURATION<30, and REPEAT=15, and after forcing a service down, for over an hour, achieved the two email alerts - but after bringing the service back up, did not get sent a recovered message. Is it possible to do this? Alan
