Yep, it was a regexp problem. I had tested with single-word group names, but anything with a whitespace in it would fail the regexp check. Try the attached patch: copy the patch to your hobbit/server/bin dir, then chdir there: patch -p0 < bb-hostedit-groupname-patch I've already updated the distro, so anybody that downloads it in the future doesnt need to apply this patch (although I didnt update the version number, naughty naughty). -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dunne [mailto:dunne at accuweather.com] Sent: Thu 4/28/2005 1:34 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Cc: Subject: Re: [hobbit] cgi bb-hostedit script released On 4/28/05 1:28 PM, "Schwimmer, Eric E *HS" <EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu> wrote: > Hrm, the manpage for bb-hosts on the hobbit site says the the syntax > should be "group-compress".

Hrm, the manpage for bb-hosts on the hobbit site says the the syntax should be "group-compress". I've never used either one; do you have an entry called 'group compress' that functions as you'd expect it to?

Probably a regexp failure on my part. I'll release a patch in a second... -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dunne [mailto:dunne at accuweather.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 1:20 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] cgi bb-hostedit script released Greetings, I installed your script per directions indicated in install file and I am receiving an error.

A few caveats that I should have included with the distro but forgot: 1. While it supports nested files, and will attempt to preserve their structure as much as possible, I could only bundle so logic for determining what file a new host/page/title should be added to. So while it should work, it might not Do What You Expect(tm). 2. The script is comment un-friendly. Any comments & whitespace formatting is ignored when the script reads in data, and when it writes data back out, this commented data IS NOT INCLUDED. So if you have some sort of whacky comment structure in your files that you are intent on preserving, I'd advise you not to try this script :) Regards, -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS [mailto:EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 12:47 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] cgi bb-hostedit script released 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).

[hobbit] Two minor items on hobbit (very minor)

While it might not fix your color blindness (assuming you are red-green colorblind, like I am :), I've removed the animation and the smilies from the gifs on our hobbit server (which also made them more 'businesslike', so our higher-ups would treat us more seriously ;) You can gnab them here: http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/hobbit-gifs.tar.gz Regards, -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Larry.Barber at usda.gov [mailto:Larry.Barber at usda.gov] Sent: Thu 4/28/2005 11:00 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Cc: Subject: Re: [hobbit] Two minor items on hobbit (very minor) While we're on the subject of artistic talent, it would be nice to have an alternative to the recent-gif smileys.

Two minor items on hobbit (very minor)

I've been looking at hobbit as it progressed, without actually implementing. Tomorrow, I plan on throwing the Big Red Switch and cutting over to hobbit, so I re-read all the doc. First -- would someone with an artistic bent please do a logo for hobbit suitable to adding to a web menu (for those not using the hobbit main display as their home page)? (I'm bent, but not artisticly). Second -- I've just read the mini-faq on where the name came from. And here I'd always thought 'hobbit' stood for Henrik's Own Big Brother Integrated Toolset. . .

I just picked some that I thought were nice, and which had a license that without any doubt allowed me to distribute them with Hobbit. If you have a BB license, you could probably get away with using their icons. Henrik

While we're on the subject of artistic talent, it would be nice to have an alternative to the recent-gif smileys. The smileys are cute, but it would be very difficult for someone who is color-blind (about 7% of men) to distinguish between them.

installing hobbit
by jonbjorn＠hi.is 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

I migrated from bb server to hobbit server one week ago. As I was configuring some alert rules I noticed when I ran ~server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test hostname testname that hobbit was using default environment file from /usr/local/bb/etc/hobbitserver.cfg although I installed hobbit in /usr/local/hobbit and changed BBHOME in the top Makefile to /usr/local/hobbit/server it still reads the environment file from /usr/local/bb where bigbrother was installed. Any ideas ? -- Jon Bjorn Njalsson <jonbjorn at hi.is>

MRTG graphs no longer show up
by mlowery＠alliedtechgroup.com 28 Apr '05

28 Apr '05

I'm still on 4.0.1, but for no apparent reason, my MRTG graphs have decided to no longer display on Hobbit. It is not only the graph, but the only thing showing up in the <body> is the history button and "status unchanged" message... Ok, I've figured out the problem already. After updating with MS's latest patches, I can't view them in IE, but Firefox displays them fine... Thanks for listening. :-)
