Howto get hobbit to show status for same host but with different configuration
by mogens.busk＠gmail.com 02 Jan '09

Hi I Would like to make Xymon display 2 pages with the same hosts on but with different configuration (etc/hobbit-clients.cfg). Is there a way to make hobbit read another etc/hobbit-clients.cfg eg. etc/hobbit-clients_servicelinea.cfg for one page set and the normal etc/hobbit-clients.cfg for the normal page set? alternatively is it possible to make a virtual host with bbcombotest which includes some specifik process, ports and services from different hosts? Happy new year -- mvh mogens busk mob at rcf.dk

So I had this idea to convert all of the presentation information in Xymon to CSS, well really just the text information right now and not so much the positioning of content. I'm not particularly good at programming, but have managed to convert everything to CSS, but can't find one thing. There is a tag around each host, but I can't seem to find where the tag is being applied. I can wrap a around the , but I'd really prefer the only around the text. Can someone help me find where the tag is applied for the individual host entries on the BBDISPLAY?

[hobbit] graphs missing text

Thanks Henrik, My problem turned out to be permissions on some of the lib files. Everything is working great now.

RRDtool uses an external font (ttf) file when it renders the text. It sounds as if the hobbitgraph.cgi binary picks up a version of the rrdtool library which has a built in filename for this ttf-file that doesn't match the actual location. Usually this happens if the rrdtool library was built on another machine. I don't know how to do this in HP-UX, but on Linux or Solaris I'd use the "ldd" utility to see which rrdtool library is used: $ ldd ~xymon/server/bin/hobbitgraph.cgi linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb80b8000) libpcre.so.3 => /lib/libpcre.so.3 (0xb805e000) librrd.so.2 => /usr/lib/librrd.so.2 (0xb8015000) (If there's no librrd listed, then it's probably linked statically. In that case, the next step is done againt the hobbitgraph.cgi binary). Next, do a "strings" and "grep" on /usr/lib/librrd.so.2 to see what ttf-file it references: $ strings /usr/lib/librrd.so.2 |grep ttf @/usr/share/rrdtool/librrd2/DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf Does that file exist ? It is readable by the webserver userid ? $ ls -l /usr/share/rrdtool/librrd2/DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60444 2008-02-17 11:26 /usr/share/rrdtool/librrd2/DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf NB: This is only for RRDtool 1.2.x - the 1.3.x handling of fonts is quite different. Regards, Henrik

Hello Brothers and Big Sisters, I love the new name (guess why). I just converted my Hobbit Server to a Xymon Server. I copied over the histlogs and rrd files and everything is working with one small annoyance, my graphs have no text. The graphs are generated with data, grids, arrows, and lines but no labels or legends. I know this can happen if the fonts are not installed but it works fine when running Hobbit on the same server. I also manually generated a graph with rrdtool and it came out fine. This happens for rrd files I copied from Hobbit and on ones newly generated by Xymon. I built Xymon on an HP-UX 11.23 IA64 server. I am using rrdtool ver 1.2.23 that I built on this same server. The only build issue I had was I had to make a link /usr/local/pcre/lib -> ../lib/hpux32 so pcre.sh could find the lib files.

Multiple graphs on one page
by Vernon.Everett＠woodside.com.au 30 Dec '08

Hi all I am sure this has been asked and answered, but I can't find it in the list search. I have a single test pumping out a number of data metrics. Imagine this output (fictional, but representative of my problem) Rusers=45 Users=104 Mqueue=32014 Rqueue=0 ReadPerSec=24035 OtherData=2128 NCV plugs these values into an RRD file very nicely, but of course you plot them on the same graphs, it becomes meaningless because of the scale. Users and Rusers looks like a flat line down in the weeds, and only Mqueue and ReadPerSec have any real visibility. How can I display 2, or even 3 graphs on the same page with this data. One graph with Users and Rusers (Because they are in the similar scale range) Another with Mqueue ad ReadPerSec and potentially Rqueue - again because of a similar scale range. And if possible, a third graph for OtherData 3 graphs with 3 scales using different fields from the same rrd file on the same page. Possible? Cheers V P.S.

[hobbit] syntax for log monitoring with spaces?

>Whitespace in the patterns is likely to trip up the parser. Wrap the >pattern in quotes, or use [[:space:]] instead of space. Using [[:space:]] seems to be working. Thanks Craig

bb-mdstat Instructions

Can anyone tell me to put these? I can't include them of the readme... Drop bb-mdstat.sh into ~hobbituser/client/ext/bb-mdstat.sh *Found here: http://www.deadcat.net/download.php?fileid=731&filename=bb-mdstat.sh&locati… cd ~hobbituser/client/ext/ chmod 755 bb-mdstat.sh chown hobbituser:hobbituser bb-mdstat.sh Add this to the bottom of ~hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg [raid] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-mdstat.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/myscript.log INTERVAL 5m Now at this point your Hobbit client will sent [raid] information in the client data. Now simply add the raid column by adding "raid" to the end of the host in bb-hosts as such: 1.2.3.4 myhost.foo.bar # raid Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer
