by roland.graeub＠rtc.ch 17 Jun '05

Hello I have still a problem with my bb-hosts file that i had transfer to hobbit. In bb/bbgen the same hostfile works fine. A problem was that the second page definitions came after the first entry of host. I have now all page definitions first in bb-hosts file and now the message in the pageset log is gone. But now i see the host twice on both pages. I see hobbit twice on TEST:linuxtst,1 and TEST:sysmgmtst,1 For debuging i have created a small bb-hosts file: # # THE BIG BROTHER HOSTS FILE # # THIS FILE SHOULD BE THE SAME ON ALL SYSTEMS RUNNING BIG BROTHER # CHANGE THIS FILE TO REFLECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT! # title HOBBIT testtitle TEST HOBBIT # # #TEST GROUPS FOR CSS3 testpage css3 CSS3 testtitle CSS3 testsubpage linuxtst Linux System testgroup Linux Testsysteme testsubpage sysmgmtst Systemsmanagement testgroup Hobbit Test testgroup Hobbit Console # # #END BB-HOSTS FILE FOR TEST/INFO LAYOUT #BB-HOST FILE WITH CSS3 SERVERS # # # page css3 CSS3 title CSS3 Systems # subpage linux-systeme Linux Systeme group-compress <H3><I>Linux Testsysteme</I></H3> 0.0.0.0 hobbit.rtc.ch # TEST:linuxtst,1 BBDISPLAY BBNET BBPAGER # # subpage sysmgm Systemsmanagement group-compress <H3><I>Big Brother Server Test</I></H3> 0.0.0.0 yokohama.rtc.ch # TEST:sysmgmtst,2 noping 0.0.0.0 hobbit.rtc.ch # TEST:sysmgmtst,1 noconn # # Summaries are always displayed on the main page # Use this directive to send to another BBDISPLAY (e.g. 192.168.116.1) # The summary tag should be in the xxx.yyy format (e.g. canada.bc) # Do NOT define a tag like this: canada.bc.vancouver #summary canada.bc 192.168.116.1 http://www.iti.qc.com/iti/users/sean/bb/ With that file i get on the TEST-Site two entrys of the same server (hobbit.rtc.ch) under Linux Testsysteme and Hobbit Test. Any hints why this problem happen ? Greetings Roland

only alert if X number of hosts are already in error
by blysik＠shutterfly.com 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Hi, So while discussing monitoring with my coworkers, the most common statement is: I don't really care if one server in a certain pool goes into error. I only want to get paged if 5 or 10 in that same pool do. I've been trying to figure out how to make this work in hobbit. I suppose a paging script which keeps track of hosts in error and only pages if above that number would be possible. But would this be something more easily done within hobbit itself? Does anyone think this would be useful? -- Bruce Z. Lysik <blysik at shutterfly.com> Operations Engineer The information contained in this message (including any attachments) may be confidential.

[hobbit] upgrade to 4.0.4, barrage of purples forhttp/smtp/dns queries

Yeah, that makes sense. It hasn't happened again since I started it, but I was also a little wary of an ntp check I added, so I removed that. (I added an ntp check which wasn't showing up, and after I stopped hobbit I noticed a few spawned ntpdate processes sticking around. Probably unrelated.) -- Bruce Z.

upgrade to 4.0.4, barrage of purples for http/smtp/dns queries
by blysik＠shutterfly.com 15 Jun '05

15 Jun '05

Hi guys, So I recently upgraded our main hobbit installation to 4.0.4. Everything appeared fine, and then all of a sudden http/smtp/dns monitors all purpled. I haven't been able to find anything in the logs yet, but I'm still looking. Looking for something to stop the paging assault, I stop/started hobbit, and the purples cleared. Any ideas? -- Bruce Z.
