[hobbit] recovery emails on alerts which don't generate pages == undesired behaviour

The patch for the page-a-minute prob did fix it. I havent tried RC5 yet but if it includes the patch, it should fix it as well KEvin -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Lysik [mailto:blysik at shutterfly.com] Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 1:02 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] recovery emails on alerts which don't generate pages == undesired behaviour > The current code - i.e. RC4 plus the post-RC4 patch, plus the fix I > sent out yesterday to stop alerts from going off every minute - should > behave the way you want.

Sweet! Yeah, I rolled back the RC4 patch when it started paging every minute, and didn't get a chance to try with the fix. I'll download the latest post-RC4 patch and give it a shot. -- Bruce Z.

BOARDBUSY messages in logs
by dstuffle＠deltafaucet.com 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

I am still seeing BOARDBUSY messages in my logs like the following: larrd-status.log: 2005-03-04 11:36:11 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument I've narrowed it down to the following code in hobbitd_channel.c, but I don't know how to fix it. My log files don't seem to be getting updated properly and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it. I'm on Fedora. /* * Let master know we got it by downing BOARDBUSY. * This should not block, since BOARDBUSY is upped * by the master just before he ups GOCLIENT. */ do { s.sem_num = BOARDBUSY; s.sem_op = -1; s.sem_flg = IPC_NOWAIT; n = semop(channel->semid, &s, 1); } while ((n == -1) && (errno == EINTR)); if (n == -1) { errprintf("Tried to down BOARDBUSY: %s\n", strerror(errno)); } Can anyone provide any assistance?

It also fixes the crashes that have been reported with the hobbitd_alert module, and when very large status messages were sent to hobbitd. Since I'm off to Linuxforum 2005 - www.linuxforum.dk - I probably will not be as much online this week-end as I usually am. So enjoy this release and don't break anything important, please :-) Henrik Changes from RC-4 -> RC-5 ------------------------- Bugfixes: * Very large status- or data-messages could overflow the shared memory segment used for communication between hobbitd and the worker modules. This would cause hobbitd to crash. Such messages are now truncated before being passed off to worker modules. * hobbitd_alert no longer crashes when trying to send a message. * Recovery messages were sent, even when no alert message had been sent. This caused unexpected "green" messages. * The router dependency "route" tag handling was broken. Improvements: * The "starthobbit.sh" script now refuses to start Hobbit if it is already running. * The "starthobbit.sh" script was renamed to just "hobbit.sh". It now also supports a "reload" command that causes hobbitd to reload the bb-hosts file. * The bb-hist CGI now supports the NAME tag for naming hosts. * The history CGI's showed the Host- and service-names twice when in Hobbit mode. Once is enough. * A "NOALERT" setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg was implemented, so it is easier to define recipients who only get notice-messages and not alerts. * The input parameter check for CGI scripts was relaxed, so that special characters are permitted - e.g. when passing a custom hostname to a CGI. Since we do not use any shell scripts in CGI handling, this should not cause any security problem. Building Hobbit: * The /opt/sfw directory is now searched for libraries (Solaris). * The order of libssl and libcrypto has been swapped, to avoid linker problems on some platforms.
