Bug: hobbitsvc.cgi --multigraphs
by mob＠rcf.dk 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi I have enablet --multigraphs in hobbitcgi.cfg CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid --history=top --multigraphs=disk,jvm" I try to make the graph more readbable, since 10 lines in 1 graph is unreadable. I have a column called jvm with a random number of lines (uses splitncv). The configuration seems to work but with clients with only 3 lines or 6 lines the last line is lost. Server: *Xymon 4.2.2-RC1-2008.12.01 <http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/>* -- mvh mogens busk mob at rcf.dk

URL Bugs?
by malcolm.hunter＠gmx.co.uk 10 Mar '09

Hi, I've had a scour to see if this has been addressed before and I can't find anything. My Xymon URL begins with /xymon and all pages are displayed properly except Ghost Clients and Notification Log. Both pages are missing the menu and the style is messed up. I've tracked down the cause - they are both looking in /hobbit/menu and hobbit/gifs for the menu.css and gifs respectively. It seems the cgi scripts are setting BBMENUSKIN and BBSKIN incorrectly. Any ideas? (I have checked the config files too).

Adding a New Column to my hobbit server
by mathew.sanu＠gmail.com 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

All, I have followed the method to add a new column from these links. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/Other_Docs/HOWTO… http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/HOWTO/Custom_Mon… http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbit/help/hobbit-tips.html#scripts However, even after doing the above steps i do not get the new column. 1. Is there a way i can debug to find what went wrong? 2. Is there a way to know if the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server? 3. If the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server, why is it not displaying the new column. My client side script is running every 5 mins from $BBHOME/ext. Please assist and let me know if there is any more information required. Regards, Sanu

Negative spikes in rrd graphs
by iain＠shihad.org 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Good morning Xymonners! I have an issue I was hoping someone could help me with. I have created an NCV definition for a mysql script to graphs slow queries and also queries per second. The definition is here: [mysql] TITLE MySQL Queries YAXIS Amount DEF:questions=mysql.rrd:questions:AVERAGE DEF:slow=mysql.rrd:slowqueries:AVERAGE LINE2:questions#0000FF:Queries GPRINT:questions:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:questions:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:questions:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:questions:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n LINE2:slow#00FF00:Slow Queries GPRINT:slow:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:slow:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:slow:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:slow:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n This is all well and good. Here is a shortened output of the script: threads: 4 questions: 681188 slow queries: 2 Now Questions is ALWAYS increasing; so i felt that the average statement would be the correct one. However, if i restart the mysql service or even the box and Questions drops to 0 then bad things happen to the graphs. The spike downwards to large negative numbers. Now rrd is doing what it should be doing i.e. giving me an average of the range of numbers. Is there another definition I can use to not have this effect? Cheers Iain

Hobbit restricted access
by samp＠arial-concept.com 10 Mar '09

HI, I monitor several customers servers on my Hobbit and I would like permit some of them to access their own servers with a login/passwd. Each customers have his own directory. But I don't want they can see the others customers and my servers too. Is it possible to do that or run severals Hobbit on the same machine, one by customer. Thanks in advance.

SQL proof of concept (was SQL storage backends (was RE: [hobbit] Xymon 4.3.0:Beta version available on Sourceforge))
by jcleaver＠soe.sony.com 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello all, Just wanted to send off a copy of the proof-of-concept SQL hobbitd_channel storage script we've been using. It could certainly be more useful, but we just wanted to test some of ramifications of keeping status reports like this. Any feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Japheth Cleaver To use, add lines in hobbitlaunch.cfg like so: ======== snip ========= # Experiemental SQL storage [bbsqlstatus] ENVFILE /etc/hobbit/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/sqlstatus.log SOMEPATH/hobbitd_sqlstore ======= snip ========== (Note, I'm using a packagized version of hobbit, so your paths may vary.)

HELP: no graphs in Hobbit/Xymon
by damaster＠cisco.com 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I'm not having a lot of luck digging into a problem in Xymon, so I'm looking for some hints on how to proceed... I've installed Xymon 4.2.2 on several systems (one server) and it appears to be running correctly. However, only the CPU column is producing graphs of the historical data. I could swear that other columns (like MEM and DISK) produced graphs when I initially set it up, but it seemed that these other columns stopped producing graphs after the data moved from "Recently changed" to "Last change > 24 hours". The detail page still shows the magnifying glass, but no graph to go with it. Anyone know what the problem is? Is there a method for debugging this? David Masterson
