Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :) >1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me a >syntax-error >I added the following lines: >---snip--- > # Exclude Comments > elsif($item =~ /^#/) { > next; > } >---snap--- > Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored). Now fixed. >2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me >about already definded host. >To get a step forward, I comment out the part in the sctipt. > >Now I see the subpages, but no hosts. I can add hosts to the subpage. >I already tried to make a script, that builds the bb-hosts from a >MySQL-Database. I got it never finished, because of all the possible >combinations :( If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that you wont see any on the pages/subpages :) I assumed (yet another possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy; I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves. Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so. Regards, -Eric

Howdy all, I finally got my mrtg graphing problems fixed (I ended up just using mrtg to poll ifc traffic data, and tweaked hobbit-larrd a bit to work with my snmp data collector that collects cpu & error info). Anyways, now that that is done, I had a some time to spend working on a gui hosts editor for hobbit/bigbrother (although the bigbrother support has not been tested, as I dont really have a bigbrother system to test it on any more). This script should handle just about every option that the bb-hosts file supports, including nested file includes (include, dispinclude, etc), titles, groups, etc etc. Its still in a nascent phase at the moment, so I would strongly suggest backing up your host files somewhere safe before playing around with it (although the script also supports file archival, as well). You can download the script at: http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-1.0.tar.gz Please let me know what you think, Regards, -Eric Schwimmer HSCS Network Engineer University of Virginia

Patch for do_sendmail.c for later sendmail releases
by gsteer＠firstwave.com.au 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

[I posted this earlier in the week but attached to another thread. Sending again in case it's of interest to others] In setting up the sendmail graphs, I found that some fields introduced in later sendmail versions were not logged/displayed. The attached patch to do_sendmail.c will allow the extra field introduced in sendmail 8.13.x to be graphed. It should still work with most earlier versions of sendmail back to at least 8.9.x (if you're running a version that old, it's time to upgrade!) As we only run 8.13.x in production, Testing with 8.11.x has been minimal. Regards Geoff Steer Firstwave Technology

I had tested with single-word group names, but anything with a whitespace in it would fail the regexp check.

Hrm, the hobbit bb-hosts man page is a little unclear on some of the test syntax. The only way that this syntax error would pop up was if the apache test was seperated from its host entry by a newline. Until now, I had assumed that all test tags pertaining to a host had to be on the same line (i.e. no newline seperation), but now I'm not sure. Can you send me the lines immediately previous to this one in your hosts file? Feel free to sanitize anything that might make you security conscious, I just need the general formatting. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dunne [mailto:dunne at accuweather.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 2:30 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] cgi bb-hostedit script released Thanks for the quick patch.
