Startup problem on FreeBSD
by arnoud＠koekiemonster.com 29 May '05

29 May '05

I have just installed version 4.0.4 for the first time. I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 on Intel. When I startup Hobbit I don't get the html pages, just a few directories. I'm really without any clue right now, so I hope someone out here can help me on this one. Looking at de logfile gives: 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Task hobbitd started with PID 43892 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Loading hostnames 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Loading saved state 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Cannot access checkpoint file /usr/local/bb/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk for restore 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Setting up signal handlers 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Setting up hobbitd channels 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Could not get sem: No space left on device 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Cannot setup status channel 2005-05-29 20:25:14 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1 ps -aux |grep hobbit gives: hobbit 43877 0.0 0.2 1284 812 ?? Ss 8:24PM 0:00.03 /usr/local/bb/server/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/usr/loc So I'm missing a whole bunch of processes. And last but not least because of the logfile I checked my filesystem: df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 248M 49M 179M 21% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1e 1.9G 32M 1.7G 2% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 107G 6.3G 92G 6% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 1.9G 120M 1.7G 7% /var linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /usr/local/psa/named/run-root/dev I checked the tmp dir, it is empty. I tried linking it to a directory on another slice, which gave the same effect. Grtz, Arnoud Post

disabling services
by sblee＠tazmania.org 29 May '05

29 May '05

Does anyone know how to identify windows services (obviously client side) to run off such as scheduler nessages, browser messages, cpu mods, etc.? Also I need to double check but I'm pretty sure I modified the MSGWARN variable in hobbitserver.cfg to disable warnings/alerts on Unix messages file but it doesn't seem to be working. If I disable it (set to FALSE) on the server side, would I still have to define some kind of bb-msgtab on the client side? If the client side bb-msgtab file is required, does anyone know the format of it? Will it work to just modify the MSGWARN variable in the client setup files (we're currently using the BB client)?

[hobbit] citirx user graph (sendmail graph)

Thanks I made that change and it looks good. Any chance of getting the ntpstat script or having hobbit generate the ntpstat data with the built in ntp test? I have added this entry for the sendmail monitoring: [sendmail1] FNPATTERN sendmail.(.*).rrd TITLE Sendmail Reject/Discards YAXIS Messages DEF:p at RRDIDX@IN=@RRDFN@:msgsrej:AVERAGE DEF:p at RRDIDX@OUT=@RRDFN@:msgsdis:AVERAGE CDEF:p at RRDIDX@IN1=p at RRDIDX@IN,300,* CDEF:p at RRDIDX@OUT1=p at RRDIDX@OUT,300,* LINE1:p at RRDIDX@IN1#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ REJ LINE2:p at RRDIDX@OUT1#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ DIS COMMENT:\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@IN1:LAST:@RRDPARAM@ rej %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@IN1:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@IN1:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@IN1:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg) COMMENT:\n GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@OUT1:LAST:@RRDPARAM@ dis %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@OUT1:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@OUT1:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@OUT1:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n COMMENT:\n -----Original Message----- From: Andy France [mailto:Andy at zespri.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 6:04 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] citirx user graph henrik at hswn.dk (Henrik Stoerner) wrote on 24/05/2005 23:17:32: > http://www.hswn.dk/~henrik/citrix.zip > The citrix.bat file must run as a BBNT client extension - you probably > need to change the path to the BBNT\logs directory for your setup. > The Hobbit graphs should appear automagically. > > Henrik > On Tue, May 24, 2005 at 06:46:00AM -0400, Deal, Richard wrote: > > yes very interested, this is something we have been looking for to > help monitor our citrix cluster and keep track of license usage. > > Thanks > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Henrik Storner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] > > Sent: Tue 5/24/2005 5:11 AM > > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > > Subject: Re: [hobbit] citirx user graph > > > > In <CAAF27359A31D44FA9A90AF7E299C36FF59D04 at EXCHANGE.TIGR.ORG> > "Deal, Richard" <rdeal at tigr.org> writes: > > > > >What script is used to generate the data for the citrix user graph that > > >is defined in hobbit? > > > > >It doesn't seem to be using the bb-citrix.pl script on deadcat. > > > > No, this is a custom BBNT client extension I wrote for work.

I was kind of wondering where that graph was going to come from too! Just in case any one else is interested, I have updated my hobbitgraph.cfg entry for the citrix graph from: [citrix] TITLE Citrix Users YAXIS # Users DEF:u=citrix.rrd:users:AVERAGE LINE2:u#FF0000:Users COMMENT:\n GPRINT:u:LAST:Current \: %5.1lf\n GPRINT:u:MIN:Min \: %5.1lf\n GPRINT:u:AVERAGE:Average \: %5.1lf\n GPRINT:u:MAX:Max \: %5.1lf\n to: [citrix] TITLE Citrix Users YAXIS # Users DEF:u=citrix.rrd:users:AVERAGE LINE2:u#FF0000:Users -l 0 GPRINT:u:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:u:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n This makes the layout of the legend more consistent with the other graphs.

starthobbit.sh

Hi All, If my (and probably all others) server goes down and is rebooted, the hobbit doesn't start since the pidfile exists. Why not remove the the pidfile in the restart case in starthobbit.sh? Then in the init.d file I could have "starthobbit.sh -restart" Regards Lars Hobbithobbyist Http://leopg9.no-ip.org

Question about Page= in hobbit-alerts
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 26 May '05

26 May '05

Running 4.02 I have a page defined as mon1 in bb-hosts, there are no hosts defined on the page, but there are 2 subpages defined, mon1-a and mon1-b. I setup an alert which does not work, that looks like: PAGE=mon1 SERVICE=* DURATION>10 MAIL myaddress at mydomain.com Do I have to define this for each subpage to get it to work? If so, how do I format the PAGE= ? Thanks, Michael

Alert test feature
by allan＠zandahar.net 26 May '05

26 May '05

Hi all Not sure if I asked this a while back and didn't get a response or I just didnt ask it at all. Just been making some major changes to a customers alert.cfg file and it reminded me about it. Just wondering if its possible to implement a time= param on the on the hobbitd_alert --test command. Its really wicked to be able to check your rules and see what they're going to do but it would be even better if you could simulate a time as well. An extension to that would be possibly to have a duration tag to ensure your duration settings in the alerts.cfg file are all good. Please someone bonk me on the head if this is already in there and I cant find it. Also please provide feedback on if you think would be a nice addition......or not I'm always up for a flaming :) Cheers Allan
