Right :) wow, brain lapse. Thanks. I started it, the main page populated, then I did ./starthobbit.sh restart and everything is blank again.

[hobbit] paging setup
by GThiesfeld＠webmd.net 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

I set one up the same way you did, and I didn't get paged. I think maybe it has to be green first, then go to red to send a page. Try this. Create a virtual IP (using ifconfig) corresponding to the IP you gave testserver03 in your bb-hosts file. Let the conn icon go green. Wait 3 or 4 minutes. Remove (or change) the virtual IP. That's how I've been testing notification. -----Original Message----- From: rwaegner [mailto:rwaegner at questia.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 12:09 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] paging setup notifications.log is empty....

[hobbit] hosts still disappear
by blysik＠shutterfly.com 20 Jan '05

Correct, beta-5, plus the patch. Okay, hobbitd isn't responding at all. hobbitd.chk hasn't been updated since yesterday, and the hobbitlog command doesn't return anything. Strangely, no pid file was located in /var/log/hobbit. However, a ps grepping for hobbit showed this: bbuser 32296 32295 0 Jan18 ? 00:00:00 hobbitd --restart=/opt/bb/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=/opt/bb/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --purple-conn=conn --log=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1 172.16.190.2 I used gdb and attached to that pid, resulting in: (gdb) attach 32296 Attaching to process 32296 Reading symbols from /opt/bb/server/bin/hobbitd...done.

First, check if the hobbit daemon is still responding at all. You can see if the ~server/tmp/hobbitd.chk file is being updated - it should refresh every 10 minutes. You can also try this: If ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdlog some,server,name.conn" responds with a status log, then it is responding. If not, proceed: Next, I want to figure out what the hobbitd proces is doing. You'll need the gdb (GNU debugger) for that. Login as the hobbit user, Find the process ID of hobbitd - it's recorded in /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.pid, or use "ps" - then: gdb ~/server/bin/hobbitd [gdb messages] gdb> attach <hobbitd-processid> gdb> bt Let me know what this shows.

[hobbit] bb-bbexttab?
by wdehouwer＠be.tiscali.com 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Hey Bruce, If you have server-side checks that need to be done (e.g. Snmp query to alot of clients or in this case check if mysql server is running) you can add some lines to hobbitlaunch.cfg [mysql] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-mysql.pl LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-mysql.log INTERVAL 5m This is the same as the hobbit processes themselves Setting the environment, say that it needs hobbitd, which command to execute, to which file to log messages, and how often to fire the script. I use it like this, the only thing you need to take into account is that for shell scripts the variables as they were defined in the old BB (grep, awk, ...) are not in the environment so you have to add them to your script.
