Hi! I haven't found any way to start XYmon automatically at boot time... It need to be started by user hobbit, and when I used update-rc it was added in the startscripts, but I can't figure out how to get it started by user hobbit... Anybody knows how to do this? /Mathias ________________________________ Mathias Carlsson VMware | Storage | Networking | Security www.systeam.se<http://www.systeam.se> SYSteam Anderstorp * Stötabogatan 1* SE-334 24 Anderstorp T: +46 (0)371 - 58 85 29 * F: +46 (0)371 - 169 67 ________________________________ Detta meddelande innehåller information som kan vara av sekretesskaraktär eller på annat sätt hemlig och ägs av SYSteam Datakonsult i Anderstorp AB.

Status Not Available
by MFisher＠hra.com 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hello All! I have the following setup for hobbit / xymon.: Linux Fedora 9 and Hobbitserver 4.2.2-RC1 I was able to successfully install hobbit and it shows up in a browser with the configured hosts. the problem i am having is with viewing CURRENT status. Whenever i click the icon for status, i get a blank white page with "Status not Available". HISTORY functions however work. I suspected it be a permission problem so I set all files to global 777 and even tried chown all of em to apache. Obviously this is in a test env but even with the completely wide open perm, still same issue. The bb-hostcvs.sh returns status not available but nothing is written to the hobbit or apache log files that would give an idea as to why this is happening. Does anybody have any ideas? THANKS!!!

client data compression
by mailinglists＠websitemanagers.com.au 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was looking at the amount of data travelling to my hobbit server, and figured some compression would be useful... Given we are effectively transferring pure text data from place to place, the CPU overhead of compressing/de-compressing the data should be minimal, and the bandwidth advantage (for non-lan) are significant... Taking the most recent file for each machine in my hostdata directory, and adding it up I get 1137kB or 116720MB / year or 9.5GB/month ... Copying each of the most recent files to a temp folder, I get: Raw data per 5 mins: 1137 /tmp/hobbitdata gzip data per 5 mins: 389 /tmp/hobbitdata bz2 data per 5 mins: 385 /tmp/hobbitdata So, from the above, I could change from using 9.5GB/mth to 9.5 * 385/1137 = 3.2 GB.... that would be a saving of around $19 per month for me.... Anyone else feel like calculating how much this is worth to them? Try this: mkdir /tmp/hobbitdata cd /var/lib/hobbit/hostdata for host in * do file=`ls -lrt $host|tail -1|awk '{print $9}'` cp $host/$file /tmp/hobbitdata done echo -en "Raw data per 5 mins: " du -sk /tmp/hobbitdata gzip /tmp/hobbitdata/* echo -en "gzip data per 5 mins: " du -sk /tmp/hobbitdata gunzip /tmp/hobbitdata/* bzip2 /tmp/hobbitdata/* echo -en "bz2 data per 5 mins: " du -sk /tmp/hobbitdata rm -rf /tmp/hobbitdata Might take a few minutes depending on number of hosts/etc... So, is compression likely to be implemented into the hobbit client/server any time soon?

hobbit to xymon upgrade
by stef.coene＠docum.org 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

Hi, (Henrik, correct this if I'm wrong) I have a lot of hobbit servers to upgrade so I have a lot of cases to test. This was my first test: If you want to simple use the new binaries, you can copy the Makefile from hobbit 4.2.0 to the new xymon 4.2.2 source directory and do a make && make install. Restart the hobbit server. This will compile xymon with exact the same settings as the old hobbit and install the binaries and the needed files. This worked without any problems for me. A second option is to configure xymon from scratch, but this will put the files in new places. I'm going to create a perl script for this to automate the process of migrating the data from hobbit to xymon. Stef

httpstatus option
by Gulshan.Kapoor＠hhsc.state.tx.us 16 Dec '08

16 Dec '08

I am able to content test but not test for http response code. I'm trying with following syntax: httpstatus=appmon;https://my.domain.com;"2..|302" I noticed that in Xymon 4.2.2 documentation, the option has been removed. Is this syntax was deprecated? Thanks, =gk

[hobbit] Can't override DISK defaults
by greg.hubbard＠eds.com 16 Dec '08

Ben, I think ORDER is important -- your DEFAULTS section should go at the very end of the file. I think I read on this list that Hobbit quits on the first match, which is why the DEFAULTS must be at the end of the file.
