[hobbit] problem with hobbit-clients.cfg - SOLVED
by bb4＠richter-it.net 19 May '09

Hi all, the problem is solved. It appeared because I had 2 XYmon servers with different hobbit-clients.cfg. On the first one the configuration was right but on the second one the section with the hosts was missing. So the first server reported green for the procs and short after that the second one reported clear. So after adjusting the hobbit-clients.cfg on the second server the problem disappeared. Regards Torsten Hi Johann, I tried as you suggested but it did not work. I don't have a problem with the graphing but with the display of the processes.

Hobbit/Devmon disk alert forever yellow
by john.r.rothlisberger＠accenture.com 18 May '09

18 May '09

I have a recently installed xymon for testing and have added only a couple hosts, one of which I have also setup devmon. This one hosts seems to ignore the defaults set for disk alerts in server/etc/hobbit-client.cfg. I am running xymon 4.3.0 beta 2. I currently have (in hobbit-client.cfg - the only active rules): DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 32 64 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 95 I have set the disk alerts very low for testing purposes. The two clients that I refer to are both win2k servers and xymon/devmon are running on ubuntu server 8. I have one server with panic alerts as its disk usage is higher then 64% - this is expected. I have another host in which I have also setup devmon but I have NOT setup disk monitoring under devmon for this host. This host reports only a yellow alert and one of its disks is 88% used. I found this anomaly when this servers disk was just over 90% and the default was 90/95. I set the alert to be higher 97/99 but the yellow alert was still there. After cleaning up some space on the disk and bringing it below the 90% mark I expected the yellow to go away but that hasn't happened either. Does devmon negate bbwin? Is there some additional settings that I need in hobbit-client.cfg to allow for something that devmon is doing?

problem with hobbit-clients.cfg
by bb4＠richter-it.net 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi all, I'm running XYmon 4.3.0-beta2 on Linux with server side configuration an I'm experiencing a problem with the process monitoring. I've entered the following data into hobbit-clients.cfg on the server: HOST=xdspmis1 PORT LOCAL=%[.:]21$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=FTP Daemon" PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=SSH listener" PROC /usr/lib/ssh/sshd 1 3 red TRACK=ssh HOST=xdspmis2 PORT LOCAL=%[.:]21$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=FTP Daemon" PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=SSH listener" PROC /usr/lib/ssh/sshd 1 3 red TRACK=ssh The ports monitoring is working fine but for procs I only get a clear icon. The history of the test looks like this: Mon May 18 11:24:16 2009 clear 0:01:19 Mon May 18 11:24:16 2009 green none Mon May 18 11:19:14 2009 clear 0:05:02 Mon May 18 11:19:14 2009 green none Mon May 18 11:14:12 2009 clear 0:05:02 Mon May 18 11:14:12 2009 green none Mon May 18 11:09:09 2009 clear 0:05:03 Mon May 18 11:09:09 2009 green none The data from the client is delivered to the server as cpu, disk, msgs, memory are displayed fine. Oddly enough there is a graph for the ssh daemon which is graphed since I set up the monitoring. For a third machine i have the following entries in hobbit-clients.cfg: PROC "snmpdx" 0 0 yellow PROC "snmpXdmid" 0 0 yellow PROC "snmpd" 0 0 yellow PROC /usr/local/sbin/sshd 1 3 red TRACK=ssh PORT LOCAL=%[.:]21$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=FTP Daemon" PORT LOCAL=%[.:]22$ STATE=LISTEN COLOR=yellow "TEXT=SSH listener" The first 3 entries are displayed correctly with: snmpdx (found 0, req. at most 0) snmpXdmid (found 0, req. at most 0) snmpd (found 0, req. at most 0) But the sshd is not displayed although it is graphed :-/ Regards Torsten

Duration for one round of server side module
by vadud3＠gmail.com 18 May '09

18 May '09

I implemented a server side perl script using this http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/tutorials:ssmodule as the template. I like to run it only once daily, so I put status+1d for the bb command. But I need help to find out how long it takes for the script to complete for my ~300 hosts. Currently I have it setup just like the setup in the above url, like the following. [pca] ENVFILE /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/pca.log $BBHOME /ext/pca.pl And it is taking tons of resources since it receives all the patch/pkg info from 300 servers through client channel and generate a patch report using the tool pca ( http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) for each host. It allows us to find out the patch status for all solaris boxes Here is an snippet of the top processes sorted by RSS PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP 8687 hobbit 2248M 581M run 39 0 0:02:31 1.1% hobbitd_channel/1 8648 hobbit 58M 56M run 39 0 0:07:42 2.5% hobbitd/1 10223 hobbit 21M 20M run 20 0 0:00:03 15% perl5.8.5/1 7115 devmon 11M 11M sleep 59 0 0:00:44 1.5% devmon/1 8689 hobbit 8816K 6968K sleep 59 0 0:07:52 2.7% pca.pl/1 If I can find out how long it takes to run I can then add an INTERVAL accordingly. I do not need to process the client data more than once a day -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

hobbit-alerts.cfg : how to send an email for an event that gets ACKed?
by etienne.grignon＠gmail.com 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi Henrik, Do you know if we can send emails when an event is acknowledged in hobbit 4.2.3 via hobbit-alerts.cfg? The documentation does not refer it but you might have implemented it. It would be great if the NOTICE option would cover both enable/disable and acknowledgment. I attached an old thread for this request below. Thanks, >On Wed, Aug 16, 2006 at 03:51:46PM -0400, Jerry Yu wrote: >> Is it possible that to send notice emails for an event that gets >> acknowledged (either from the admin page or through email)?
