I am having trouble getting the zonestat.sh script to update the xymon server. I know I have posted this before, but have gotten limited response. Help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have done: Hobbitserver.cfg # status view of a test should include a graph. TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tc p,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apa che,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bb test,bbproxy,hobbitd,files,procs=processes,ports,clock,lines ,zonestat" # This defines which RRD files to include on the "trends" column webpage, # and the order in which they appear. GRAPHS="la,disk,inode,qtree,files,processes,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,t cp.http,tcp,ncv,netstat,ifstat,mrtg::1,ports,temperature,ntp stat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest, bbproxy,hobbitd,ifstat,clock,lines,zonestat" Hobbitlaunch.cfg [rrddata] ENVFILE /apps/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data \ --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-data.log hobbitd_rrd \ --extra-tests=zonestat \ --extra-script=/apps/xymon/server/ext/rrd_data.pl \ --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd Have added to hobbitgraph.cfg the need stuff and also put rrd_data.pl into the ext directory. Looks like on the client everything is running just fine, I get a hobbit_zonestat file create the tmp with information in it. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Mac client? (current one: searched on google) dependencies are missing
by wottley＠cmicanada.com 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hi all, I¹m looking for a mac client for Hobbit / bb. I searched google, and I see there is a mac client by ³Japheth Cleaver² Which you can download here: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~cleaver/software/ BUT, this client needs extra software. This software: Unix Date and NetEvents, points to locations that don¹t exist anymore. Can anyone point to these utilities that I can download them, or point me to another mac client?? Thank you William -- This message has been scanned for dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[hobbit] xymon-4.3.0-beta2 Compile Errors
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 28 May '09

28 May '09

Thanks, but I still can't compile the server version. I guess I'll just continue using my current Hobbit Version and wait and see if a stable release of xymon comes out that will compile on Solaris 9. I'm not really a code developer, but I would recommend that someone who's developing the next release of Hobbit/xymon get Solaris 9, download the freeware packages, and insure the compile works without having to edit other library files (ie... having to edit /usr/include/sys/signal.h.), and without all the numerous errors. fyi... I've downloaded a compiled a multitude of other products and normally it goes fairly smooth. The last time I compiled Hobbit on Solaris (Version 4.2), it was a fairly smooth process. I just had to make sure that I had all the Libraries, for example, ldap or rrd, but this version seems to have several compile problems. If xymon is going to continue being a useful open source platform for monitoring, it needs to run on other Operating Systems and for our organization Solaris is a key system. If the development team doesn't have access to Solaris 9, I am more than happy to re-try compiles and feed the outputs and failures of the compile to the team. Let me know if this is an option.
