help with alert config
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 29 Apr '05

Hi all, I'm trying to set up my alerts and I cant quite get them working, a simple example of my config is as follows: <snip> SERIVCE=conn COLOR=red TIME=W:0750:1710 EXPAGE=%.*/(hscs_servers|special|telemed) MAIL ees2y at pagehost.virginia.edu REPEAT=1 FORMAT=SMS </snip> The problem, I believe, is in the EXPAGE line. When I remove said line, I get the conn pages, as expected, albeit all of the ones I was trying to remove with the EXPAGE line. When I include the EXPAGE line, I get pages for everything EXCEPT conn pages. Can anybody give me a clue as to how I should format the EXPAGE tag? Many thanks, -Eric

some larrd issues on hobbit 4.0.3 rc1
by KauffmanT＠nibco.com 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

OK -- I chickened out and haven't thrown the Big Red Switch yet -- but I have hobbit running (display functions only) on my failover system and most everything looks good -- except (there's that ugly word) my vmstat graphs for my AIX systems. Something is quite wrong, and I'm not sure what to look at. Here's what the vmstat bottom feeder ships out: aix 1 3 2342710 511 0 1 1 2249 14879 0 1964 11870 4215 15 11 31 42 so cpu_usr is 15, cpu_sys is 11, cpu_idl is 31, and cpu_wait is 42. But the vmstat graph is giving me a system of 0.0, user 1670.0, and idle of 2347945.2. There are no errors in larrd-status.log or larrd-data.log. And this seems to be happening to all my AIX systems -- cpu_idle and/or cpu_user are massively inflated. Any ideas of where to look? (My two suse linux systems look correct). Also -- I only get the vmstat graph for AIX - I'm missing vmstat0, vmstat2, vmstat3, and vmstat8. Where do I enable the graphing for these? And while I'm at it -- I need to disable the tracking and displaying of disk filesystem usage data -- virtually all my filesystems contain Oracle tablespaces and they are 100% full at the OS level shortly after creation -- so I can't see any reason to track them. Other than that -- looks great! Tom Kauffman
