Problem with hobbitd_rrd custom graph
by david＠basis.is 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi all, I'm trying to create a custom graph for hobbit but am having some problems. I have a script doing SNMP probing and returning status messages to hobbit. I have another script that generates RRD definitions for hobbitd_rrd. I've added the script to hobbit_rrd extra_scripts: [rrdstatus] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rr d --extra-script=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/sensatronics-grapher.py --extra-tests=temp --debug I've also made a graph definition in hobbitgraph.cgi (not really the finished definition, but I think it should work for testing): [temp] TITLE Sensatronics environment monitor YAXIS Measurement DEF:11=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:12=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:13=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:21=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:31=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:41=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE DEF:42=sensatronics.rrd:11:AVERAGE LINE2:11#00CCCC:value COMMENT:\n GPRINT:11:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur) GPRINT:11:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max) GPRINT:11:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min) GPRINT:11:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n Now, the rrd file is created but only occasionally do I see values entered into it (I haven't seen a pattern - looking over the rrd generated over the weekend I see some values, sometimes 30 minutes apart, sometimes hours, but almost all the measurement points show NaN) My script is being executed every 5 minutes. Here is the output from rrd-status.log (with hobbitd_rrd run with --debug flag): 2008-09-29 14:03:37 Want msg 698, startpos 1151746, fillpos 1151746, endpos -1, usedbytes=0 , bufleft=425213 2008-09-29 14:03:38 hobbitd_rrd: Got message 698 @@status#698/tankar_hiti|1222697018.325994 |10.200.10.3||tankar_hiti|temp|1222698818|green||green|1222263717|0||0||0|0 2008-09-29 14:03:38 startpos 1152334, fillpos 1152334, endpos -1 2008-09-29 14:03:38 -> do_external(tankar_hiti, temp) 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Saving msg to file /usr/lib/hobbit/server/tmp/rrd_msg_21108 2008-09-29 14:03:38 <- do_external(tankar_hiti, temp) 2008-09-29 14:03:38 Want msg 699, startpos 1152334, fillpos 1152334, endpos -1, usedbytes=0 , bufleft=424625 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Calling helper script /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/sensatroni cs-grapher.py tankar_hiti temp /usr/lib/hobbit/server/tmp/rrd_msg_21108 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:11:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:12:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:13:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:21:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:31:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:41:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'DS:42:GAUGE:600:0:U' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input 'sensatronics.rrd' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Helper input '7:62:4:21:27:24:16' 2008-09-29 14:03:38 000021108 : Unlinking temp file 2008-09-29 14:03:38 get_hobbitd_message: Interrupted The 'get_hobbitd_message: Interrupted' message always appears after accepting input from my script.

I'm back
by henrik＠hswn.dk 01 Oct '08

Hi everyone, just a note that I am back following the eye surgery I had. Everything went fine, and I'll end up having just as good vision as before all of this trouble started. Thanks for all of the "get well soon" e-mail. One of you even sent me a postcard - I really appreciate your concern. In case anyone else ends up in this situation, I'd advise you to make sure you have plenty of stuff to listen to, and also try to plan ahead for things to do that doesn't involve using your eyes much. 4 weeks without books and computers takes a lot of patience. Now, off to catch up on events since I last had a look at the mailing list... Regards, Henrik

hobbitd_rrd not starting an extra script
by sebastien.munch＠dexia-securities.fr 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hello I'm trying to create an extra script for hobbit_rrd. I've followed tutorials found on the net, especially http://www.trantor.org/theshire/doku.php/tutorials:customgraph I'm getting the information in the status page. Data is correctly sent to the hobbit server. Everything seems to be configured correctly, but I'm not getting any rrd data. In the configurations, I've double-checked paths, execution rights, etc. To simplify the tests, I've changed my extra-script so that it writes everything in a temporary file. The script isn't started : it doesn't write in this temporary file. In the rrd-status log, I don't see anything about executing the extra script. hobbitlaunch.cfg : ---------------------------------------------------------- [rrdstatus] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-script /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/rrd_openvz.sh --extra-tests openvz --debug ---------------------------------------------------------- /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/rrd_openvz.sh : ---------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh echo "Pop !" > /tmp/plouf hostname=$1 testname=$2 messagefile=$3 echo "Host $hostname" >> /tmp/plouf echo "Test $testname" >> /tmp/plouf echo "Message file $messagefile" >> /tmp/plouf cat $messagefile >> /tmp/plouf exit 0 ---------------------------------------------------------- /var/log/hobbit/rrd-status.log : ---------------------------------------------------------- [...] 2008-09-25 18:01:41 RRD update param 01: '/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<some other host 1>/memory.actual.rrd' 2008-09-25 18:01:41 RRD update param 02: '-t' 2008-09-25 18:01:41 RRD update param 03: 'realmempct' 2008-09-25 18:01:41 RRD update param 04: '1222358501:22' 2008-09-25 18:01:41 Want msg 7363, startpos 128053, fillpos 128053, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=400330 2008-09-25 18:01:42 hobbitd_rrd: Got message 7363 @@status#7363| 1222358502.509616|10.1.60.214||<the host I want to check>|openvz| 1222360302|green||green|1222249676|0||0||1222358207 2008-09-25 18:01:42 startpos 128527, fillpos 128527, endpos -1 2008-09-25 18:01:42 Want msg 7364, startpos 128527, fillpos 128527, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=399856 2008-09-25 18:01:44 hobbitd_rrd: Got message 7364 @@status#7364| 1222358504.541929|10.1.0.52||<some other host 2>|cpu|1222360304|green|| green|1222302537|0||0||0 2008-09-25 18:01:44 startpos 130305, fillpos 130305, endpos -1 2008-09-25 18:01:44 RRD update param 00: 'rrdupdate' 2008-09-25 18:01:44 RRD update param 01: '/var/lib/hobbit/rrd/<some other host 2>/la.rrd' [...] ---------------------------------------------------------- Could anyone see something that would be wrong there ?

MIPS Compilation Errors
by pnixon＠gmail.com 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hey all, Has anyone gotten hobbit to compile on a MIPS Platform? I'm running Debian 4.0 on a Qube2, which is a MIPS Processor. During the ./configure.server script, I'm getting the following errors, but I installed requisite libraries from apt-get. Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong? Thanks! --Pat hobbit at qube:~/hobbit-4.2.0$ ./configure.server Configuration script for Hobbit This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit Checking your make-utility Checking pre-requisites for building Hobbit Checking for fping ... Hobbit has a built-in ping utility (hobbitping) However, it is not yet fully stable and therefore it may be best to use the external fping utility instead. I could not find fping on your system Do you want to use hobbitping [Y/n] ? y OK, I will use hobbitping. Checking for RRDtool ... test-rrd.c: In function `main': test-rrd.c:30: error: too few arguments to function `rrd_graph' make: *** [test-compile] Error 1 Not RRDtool 1.0.x, checking for 1.2.x Found RRDtool include files in /usr/include ERROR: RRDtool library files found in /usr/lib, but link fails.

bbtest shows long DNS runtime, why
by thorsten.erdmann＠daimler.com 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

Hi I am running hobbit against 40 clients. Two of these clients are our DNS servers. Only on these two clients I have enabled the DNS test by adding the DNS keyword to their bb-hosts line. I wanted to check the function of the DNS servers If I look at the statistics of bbtest it looks like this: Fri Sep 12 15:26:08 2008 bbtest-net version 4.2.0 SSL library : OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 LDAP library: OpenLDAP 20213 Statistics: Hosts total : 41 Hosts with no tests : 1 Total test count : 44 Status messages : 45 Alert status msgs : 0 Transmissions : 2 DNS statistics: # hostnames resolved : 40 # succesful : 40 # failed : 0 # calls to dnsresolve : 44 TCP test statistics: # TCP tests total : 2 # HTTP tests : 1 # Simple TCP tests : 1 # Connection attempts : 2 # bytes written : 126 # bytes read : 871 TIME SPENT Event Starttime Duration bbtest-net startup 1221225968.275331 - Service definitions loaded 1221225968.276931 0.001600 Tests loaded 1221225968.281365 0.004434 DNS lookups completed 1221225973.283037 5.001672 Test engine setup completed 1221225973.285332 0.002295 TCP tests completed 1221225973.286398 0.001066 PING test completed (40 hosts) 1221225974.166549 0.880151 PING test results sent 1221225974.177932 0.011383 Test result collection completed 1221225974.177943 0.000011 LDAP test engine setup completed 1221225974.177944 0.000001 LDAP tests executed 1221225974.177945 0.000001 LDAP tests result collection completed 1221225974.177946 0.000001 NSLOOKUP tests executed 1221225974.179452 0.001506 Test results transmitted 1221225974.181039 0.001587 bbtest-net completed 1221225974.182936 0.001897 TIME TOTAL 5.907605 What you see are two mystic things: It seems that hobbit resolves all clients via DNS: # hostnames resolved : 40 Why that, I gave all names and it's corresponding IPs at the bb-hosts file? The DNS test runs about 5 seconds for only these 40 clients, maybe that is because of the first issue: DNS lookups completed 1221225973.283037 5.001672 If you look at the graph, it gives very scary "triagle curves". I've put a screenshot here: http://www.trektech.de/test/hobbitgraph.png The thing seems to have started when I put the DNS keyword to my two DNS servers. Before it gave a nearly zero line. I want to add about 400 network switches which should only do a ping test and I fear that this would extremely increase the runtime of the bbtest. What can I do to decrease the runtime?
