Hi, Has anyone gotten BBMAP or any other kind of map overlay program to work with Hobbit? The intructions for BBMAP are difficult to understand and rely on BB path defs and It would be nice to have a map style view. Thanks KEvin

You might look at the bb command's hobbitdboard option. It retrieves quite a bit of info on all hosts.

[hobbit] Windows Cluster Monitor

That'd be great. We are demoing this for the new director on Monday, so that would really be nice. Thanks very much. If not, we'll coble something together base on the responses we've gotten so far. The UNIX stuff is easy, it's been in place forever. The windows stuff is new to me (I'm a home dabbler in windows) as far as a prd environment. And, our windows admins have resisted this every time we bring it up, so I'm also fighting that resistance :). In any case, thanks for the reply...

There are logs for each host and each host.test in the data/hist directory. You could use fam (assuming your using a Unix-like OS) to watch the files alert your program when each file changed.

I am getting a sporadic problem with the latest release (RC4). The bb-hostsvc.cgi starts returns the message "Status not available" for all services. After a restart of the hobbitd daemon, everything is back to normal. There doesn't seem to be a pattern on this one yet. Looking at every hour or so. Note that I am running on Solaris 2.8. - Brian

[hobbit] Availability Reports in RC4

How do you generate reports ? Via the "Reports -> Availability reports" menu ? If yes, could you check your webserver error-log for error-messages ? And how does your bb-rep.sh CGI script look ? I just tried it here and include works fine. So something odd is going on at your site. Regards, Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
