multigraphs disk1
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 11 Mar '08

Hi all, We have set GRAPHS=...,disk::15,... in order to be able to display a maximum of 15 file systems on the disk or trends column. Now on the trends columns, we would like to display a graph for "disk1" instead of "disk". We added "TRENDS:*,disk:disk1" in bb-hosts but this will only show up 4 (default) file systems per graph. How can we tell Hobbit to display 15 lines for the "disk1" graph? Dominique

two independent hobbitserver and bbproxy
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi ! I've got one main hobbit-server "A" and want/must install/configure a second main Hobbit-Server "B" which is located in a dedicated subnet and is a separate Computer-Project .... The Server "B" should be a main-server because of my colleagues which are not very familiar with hobbit and don't want to work with my prodution-server ... Additional we want to make an separate backup of the data of Server "B" so the data should be availabel on Server "B" and Server "A" .... My question is how to configure the Server "B" to collect and display the data and additional send via proxy the data to Server "A" where i want to display them also and if possible collects also the data ? I've configured of many way's, but unfortunatley didn't find the right one ... In the mail-archive i've found many useful hints for the problematic of using of bbproxy ... but i think the ususal solution is not me the best one ... because of collecting data on both server and their independences .. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2007/11/msg00492.html http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/04/msg00083.html http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00434.html http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/04/msg00083.html http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00816.html The normal bbproxy is running well .. Is there a possible to use Server A as DISPLAY-Sever and collect the data and simultaneously Server B is the Main Server for Display and collecting data ... or should i use a separate bbproxy-server in the dedicated Subnet which sends all data to Server A ... thanks & cheers martin ______________________________________________________ Martin Flemming DESY / IT office : Building 2b / 008a Notkestr. 85 phone : 040 - 8998 - 4667 22603 Hamburg mail : martin.flemming at desy.de ______________________________________________________

Devmon Help, devmon now won't stay up
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hate to crosspost, but noticed there aren't a ton of people on the devmon mailing lists, so I am posting this to the hobbit list as well... I was thinking about having devmon try and graph our router's CPU usage, so per the GRAPHING doc I added  To the message file in the cpu directory for the 3750 template. Waited a few cycles, no graph updating, and the checked devmon.log and saw that it said Shutting down. So I removed it and restarted devmon, and now it keeps shutting down within 30 seconds of starting it up. I think it might have something to do with the fact that it started to add a larrd graph to the webpage but that larrd graph never populated. I don't get much from running devmon with a bunch of -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv or -debug. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks, Taylor

Stagering Test
by jkwade＠futurefrontiers.com 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

I was wondering if there was a way to stager the Hobbit clients. I use a NFS mount with /home/hobbit for the client on each system. So, if I have my own test, they all kick-off about the same time. I'd prefer them to stager during the 5 minutes. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks..James

Waiting longer than one polling failure to alert
by mark.stoltzfus＠pmigroup.com 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

My apologies if this is covered in the docs or in past discussions, my google-fu hasn't come through for me on this one. We're running 4.1.2p1, and we have several troublesome hosts that, for whatever reason, are constantly experiencing periodic disconnects with the hobbit server. I'm not too concerned about the disconnects (we have some new firewalls that are probably to blame, and by all other indications, the hosts and services are fine), but we're constantly getting alerts. Is there any way to make hobbit alert on a host or service, only after it's failed two or three times in a row? Thanks in advance, Mark

[hobbit] Sending Hobbit data from one server to another
by gumby3203＠gmail.com 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Here's the situation. I have one Hobbit server that is on our DMZ segment, and another that is on our internal LAN segment. There are several hosts that are monitored from the DMZ hobbit server, which are unreachable (due to network policy) by the internal hobbit server. What would be the best way (if any) to merge the status of the DMZ hobbit to the internal hobbit? That is, I would like to create a sub-page on the internal hobbit server that shows essentially a mirror of the hobbit status page for the DMZ server.

[hobbit] hobbit linux client issue

That would be great.

BTW, this is another reason to use OS packages .... FYI, you could get away compiling just 32bit, and running the 32bit on x86_64, but the other way around will not work. If you are interested, I would be willing to look at ensuring that my Hobbit packages (shipped in Mandriva, I rebuild and use them on RHEL and Solaris) build fine on SuSE, and could even consider providing binaries ...

All hosts network traffic graph page
by tlewick＠tradebotsystems.com 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Is there a simple way to setup a view via a report or link in hobbit so that I can display all of the hosts network traffic graphs? Kind of like an mrtg style view. That way if we see bandwidth spike on our switch we can pull up this page and get a quick view of which hosts are talking a lot? Thanks, Taylor

Time to merge bbwin into hobbit
by Padraig.Lennon＠pioneerinvestments.com 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

I'm going to ask a question I've been thinking about for a while... Is it about time that bbwin is bundled into the hobbit project as the "official" hobbit windows client? By this I mean providing the bbwin application with the complete hobbit server/client package? I think that Etienne has done amazing work over the last few months in integrating the client with the hobbit centralised server setup. I don't for a minute want to take away from the bbwin project that Etienne is coordinating, but does it not make more sense to merge the two projects? Just a question... Please don't shoot me down for asking...
