[hobbit] auto-restart clients
by kevin＠ewormhole.com 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Gentlemen, Thank you all for your responses and input for the auto restart problem I was having. I will try all the suggestions posted here. I have gotten better, faster, more intelligent, and more accurate, well thought out responses here than I have EVER received from any "commercial" product and I appreciate it. Henrik has done an astounding job of producing a product that is extremely useful and actually works (as opposed to the usual commercial product "we'll fix it in the next release" but it still costs 300 thousand dollars!) but the support afforded by this message board exceeds any tech support I have ever seen and I thank you all for it! Sincerely Kevin

[hobbit] Problems importing mrtg into hobbit trends
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

So after digging into this further, I found I had to add a custom test in hobbitgraph.cfg (along with its corresponding entry in the GRAPHS env var in the hobbitserver.cfg). However, no matter what FNPATTERN I use to try and pick up the cpu data that mrtg has accumulated, it ALWAYS seems to get picked up (and munged) but the mrtg test, even after adding an EXFNPATTERN to the mrtg portion of the hobbitgraph.cfg. Help? -Eric p.s. I've got a webified bb-hosts file editor that plugs nicely into hobbit, but its only 3/4 done. The sooner I can get the mrtg graphs working, the sooner I can finish that script. Its not bribery, I swear ;) e -----Original Message----- From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS Sent: Wed 4/20/2005 12:44 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Cc: Subject: [hobbit] Problems importing mrtg into hobbit trends Hi all, I'm trying to move our bb-mrtg.sh setup on our bigbrother server over to our new hobbit servers; I've got it sort of work, but I'm having a problem: they data appears okay, but it isnt scaled directory and it's axes (plural of axis, I had to look that one up ;) and legend items are likewise mislabeled. For instance, my cpu graph goes all the way to 140 (spinal tap, anyone?), its Y axis is labeled in "bits/second", and what would normally be the "1 minute" and "5 minute" legend items are instead "cpu inbound" and "cpu outbound". I'm pretty much using the same mrtg config that I was for bb-mrtg, with a few tweaks. Here's an example: Target[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0:cid at testrtr Directory[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: testrtr AbsMax[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: 100 MaxBytes[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: 100 Options[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: gauge,nopercent,growright YLegend[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: CPU Utilization ShortLegend[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: % LegendI[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]:  1 Min: LegendO[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]:  5 Min: Legend1[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: AvgBusy 1 Min Legend2[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: AvgBusy 5 Min Title[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: CPU PageTop[mrtg.testrtr.cpu]: <H1>CPU Utilization</H1> On the bb-mrtg.sh output on our bigbrother server, everything appears as expected. I believe most (if not all) of our cfg files were generated with the cfgmaker binary that came with mrtg, if that is any help.

OT: Anybody Here Use Qpage?
by Andy＠zespri.com 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

Hi All, We have finally got around to getting a pager for after hours notification. Seems that email to SMS isn't that great when your SMTP gateway is the server in trouble :-) I have downloaded and compiled qpage (http://www.qpage.org) and it seems to work OK - except it throws the following error: bash-3.00# qpage -d -q 60 giving up root privileges becoming user 'daemon' /etc/qpage.cf(4): unexpected: <administrator = andy at zespri.com> /etc/qpage.cf(6): unexpected: <queuedir = /var/spool/qpage> /etc/qpage.cf(8): unexpected: <modem = zyxel> /etc/qpage.cf(9): unexpected: <device = /dev/cua/a> /etc/qpage.cf(10): unexpected: <initcmd = ATZ> /etc/qpage.cf(11): unexpected: <dialcmd = ATDT> /etc/qpage.cf(13): unexpected: <service = TelecomNZ> /etc/qpage.cf(14): unexpected: <device = zyxel> /etc/qpage.cf(15): unexpected: <phone = 0264001283> /etc/qpage.cf(16): unexpected: <msgprefix = false> /etc/qpage.cf(18): unexpected: <pager = support> /etc/qpage.cf(19): unexpected: <pagerid = 0262749494> /etc/qpage.cf(20): unexpected: <service = TelecomNZ> Error reading configuration file So it seems it can read the config file OK, but just doesn't like the contents. I read the sample in the man page and can't see any issues. I am running on Solaris 9 x86, and compiled qpage from source using gcc 3.4.3 (installed as a package from http://www.blastwave.org) I have emailed the qpage author but have not had a response. Does anyone else here have experience with qpage? Especially getting the config to work!

alert rules and PAGE
by rdeal＠tigr.org 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

What is the name of the top page. I have some primary servers on the tape page and then several other pages with rule for the page like this: PAGE=WINNT EXSERVICE=trends COLOR=!purple MAIL $PG-NT REPEAT=30 DURATION>2 EXSERVICES=cpu,msgs,memory RECOVERED MAIL $PG-NT REPEAT=30 DURATION>10 SERVICES=cpu,msgs,memory $ESCALATE but this particular rule also gets all alerts for the top level PAGE. If there is an internal name for the top PAGE I could use the EXPAGE to prevent this. Also any chance of adding a group level rule? thanks

Depends tag question
by dstuffle＠deltafaucet.com 24 Apr '05

24 Apr '05

I have the depends tag on one of our hosts and I'm confused on why it goes clear occasionally. This is what I have in the hosts file: 0.0.0.0 www.deltafaucet.com # noconn http://12.159.193.35 depends=(http:firewall/http) The http test on www.deltafaucet.com has gone clear about 4 or 5 times in the past week while the http test on "firewall" has stayed green the whole time. Each time it goes clear, it's only for less than a minute, sometimes just a few seconds. Shouldn't clear events on www.deltafaucet.com match up with red events on "firewall"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Stuffle Delta Faucet Company This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Try adding "nmailq=mailq" to the long list of entries for the LARRDS setting in hobbitserver.cfg. It was accidentally left out in the first releases of Hobbit. The current default looks like this: LARRDS="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp, dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendm ail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,h obbitd" You'll need to restart Hobbit after this change (at least: kill the hobbitd_larrd processes).

Hi, I am not getting the graph of the nmailq-bf from my client, however I am able to get other graphs from the same machine such as Vmstat, netstat... I have noticed that there is no mention of nmailq in the hobbitgraph.cfg file, instead there is codes for mailq not nmailq. Secondly I tried changing nmail to mailq but still it didn't come...I tried changing "LARRDS" field of hobbitserver.cfg from nmailq to mailq..but still no graphs Any idea where I should be looking at... Regards Soumya
