Failover Hobbit
by ajeffco＠orhs.org 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hello, Is anyone doing any type of failover or load balancing between two hobbit servers? I know that there was a function to do failover in BB. I have two separate servers that I've installed Hobbit onto, and am having clients reporting to both, and they both are "clients" for each other, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way, and see if there might be a better way.

The most spectacular bug was the repeated crashes that Brian Lynch reported; it turned out that sending Hobbit a message larger then ~100 KB would crash hobbitd. There was code to catch this, it just didn't work. Thanks a lot for Brian's help in tracking this down. hobbitd_alert no longer crashes when trying to send a message. This is the one-line fix sent out just after the RC4 was made available. Another bug that's been resolved is the unexpected "green" recovery-messages. Kevin Hanrahan actually found the cause for me, and once you know what is going on it is so much easier to fix. And the "route" tag is now working again for the network tests. A patch for these issues is at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/post-RC4.patch To install: cd hobbit-4.0-RC4 patch -p0 </tmp/post-RC4.patch make clean make shutdown hobbit, run "make install" and start hobbit Note that you must first un-install the one-line hobbitd_alert fix if you installed this: Run "patch -R -p0 < RC4-hobbitd_alert-crash.patch" to back out this patch. If there are no obvious problems after this patch, I'm tempted to do the official release next week.

Alerts problems
by Kevin＠ewormhole.com 03 Mar '05

I am having a bit of trouble with the alerts. I have the following rule: HOST=% MAIL kevin at domain.com COLOR=red EXSERVICE=http RECOVERED My understanding is that this should work as follows: For ALL hosts: Mail kevin at domain.com if, the alert is RED only and if the service is other than http and mail when it recovers What actually happens is: I get ALL alerts, for ALL colors, and ALL services What did I do wrong? Please advise. Thank you Kevin

Is there an eventlog that I can grep through that will show each event as it happens?

Alerts REPEAT time
by dstuffle＠deltafaucet.com 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hello, I am seeing a few issues regarding alerts. 1. I have a device called Cisco8.24 that has been red for a few days but I just now enabled alerting. It is now alerting me via email once every minute. 2. Although I have added the --repeat=15 option to the page channel in hobbitlaunch.cfg, the info column still shows Repeat is 30m. Is the info column only getting alert info from the hobbit-alerts.cfg. 3. I am seeing the following message in my log files: e.g. page.log: 2005-03-03 09:55:32 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument Here are some of my config settings: hobbitlaunch.cfg: [bbpage] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log hobbitd_alert --repeat=15 hobbit-alerts.cfg: HOST=Cisco8.24 SERVICE=* MAIL $dstuffle I have installed the post-RC4 patch. I was getting the errors in the log files before the patch but I'm not sure about the once per minute paging. I have looked through the log files and I don't see anything relevant to this. Although, the page.log file is not getting populated with anything other than the above error message, and it's only getting that when I restart hobbit. Thanks for any assistance.

hobbit start restart
by dhd733＠yahoo.se 03 Mar '05

Hi All was going to restart Hobbit and started instead. Then I think I started 2 instances of Hobbit. Then I stopped hobbit without any complaints. But still the first Hobbit instance was running. Then I tried to stop Hobbit again and got: Hobbit is not running. I think it would be good with a test if Hobbit already is running when starting. Regards Lars
