How to search "error." pattern with LOG
by vschultz＠cvf.fr 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hello, I am trying to monitor a log file in order to be alerted when the string "error." appears. For instance : error.grammar error.noressource ... should send an alert but "error " (with a space after) should not. I tried to put in hobbit-clients.cfg : LOG /tmp/log error. COLOR=yellow ==> does not work LOG /tmp/log %(?-i)error. COLOR=yellow ==> works but match with error (without the .) Does anyone can help me to find the correct regexp please ? Thank you, Vincent

syntax for log monitoring with spaces?
by Craig.Cook＠gpi.com 19 Dec '08

In hobbit-clients.cfg I have this defined HOST=sun.example.com LOG /var/adm/messages %error|panic|ERROR|half-duplex|failing|transport failed|responding|core|NOTICE|offlin COLOR=red IGNORE=%upload|External request already in progress|pam_dial_auth LOG /var/adm/messages %(WARNING|xntpd) COLOR=yellow (The first LOG line is a single line in hobbit-clients.cfg) But, I get alarms like this: System logs at Fri Dec 19 08:42:16 EST 2008 red Critical entries in /var/adm/messages red Dec 19 08:09:41 sun bpjava-msvc[5400]: [ID 427199 user.error] pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error in underlying service module. red Dec 19 08:31:09 sun bpjava-msvc[3963]: [ID 427199 user.error] pam_dial_auth: terminal-device not specifiedby login, returning Error in underlying service module. Is my logic wrong? (Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20080403) Thanks Craig

vmstat problem
by doctor＠makelofine.org 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi all, I'm using Xymon 4.2.2 on both clients and server side. All my OS are linux (almost all are kernel 2.6) My case : One of my client does not send [vmstat] section to the server. After researching a lot, i found that executing manually hobbitclient-linux.sh is working great. I've the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME.$$ file created, but it's not moved to hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME. So I modified hobbitclient-linux.sh in order to get directly the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME file, and it works when i start hobbitclient-linux.sh manually. But when i start xymon client, the hobbit_vmstat.HOSTNAME is not generated, and the message sent to my server still doesn't include [vmstat] section I'm sorry if my explanations/vocabulary sucks. Any help would be very appreciated Regards, Damien

http-test timeout
by lars.ebeling＠leopg9.no-ip.org 18 Dec '08

Dear All, is there a way to change the timeout for http-tests. I am testing my webminserver and often the responsetime is between 10 and 13 seconds. The http-test is very often red. I would like to change timeout to 13 seconds. -- Regards Lars Ebeling http://leopg9.no-ip.org Hobbithobbyist "I am not young enough to know everything." -- Oscar Wilde

centralized management of clientlaunch.cfg
by brightlancer＠gmail.com 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

I have a number of custom scripts spread across multiple machines; I understand how to configure them in clientlaunch.cfg but I would like to keep them in a single config file (it's impractical to maintain this many individual configs). Has anyone written a tool to manage push/pull of the configs and generating individual hobbit-clients.cfg, or otherwise duplicate what bb-bbexttab did? -Lachlan

alerty alerts
by jon＠shadowsoft.com 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

I have a client where EVERY time that it contacts the server with a yellow or red I want to run a script. hobbit-alerts.cfg only seems to want to fire off a rule when the status CHANGES, not every time. Suggestions? Thanks, Jon

Client port question
by Ken.Cooper＠Intelliverse.com 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hey guys, I have been asked to monitor a web server in our DMZ; I was able to load and start the client but am only displaying the ping test; the network engineer asked which ports I needed opened to allow the client to pass data to the host. I can not find that information, I have looked in the man pages and the hobbit monitor doc no luck. Can someone assist? . Thanks in advance for your help.
