[hobbit] All hosts network traffic graph page

Okay thanks all of our servers are on eth0 or eth1 so I can graph both and if one isn't active then no big deal ----- Original Message ----- From: Henrik Stoerner <henrik at hswn.dk> To: hobbit at hswn.dk <hobbit at hswn.dk> Sent: Mon Mar 10 05:18:46 2008 Subject: Re: [hobbit] All hosts network traffic graph page On Sat, Mar 08, 2008 at 09:35:49PM -0600, Taylor Lewick wrote: > 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.

Tricky, because network interface names vary from one host to another. What you can do is to create a multi-graph definition in hobbitgraph.cfg that picks out the exact NIC graph you want. Copy the existing "ifstat" definition, and make a new "eth0-multi" graph where the FNPATTERN refers only to the interface graph you want - i.e. instead of the "ifstat.(.+).rrd" pattern you refer to the exact "ifstat.INTERFACE.rrd" file matching the name of your NIC. E.g. for "eth0": [eth0-multi] FNPATTERN ifstat.eth0.rrd TITLE Network Traffic YAXIS Bits/second DEF:inbytes at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:bytesReceived:AVERAGE CDEF:in at RRDIDX@=inbytes at RRDIDX@,8,* DEF:outbytes at RRDIDX@=@RRDFN@:bytesSent:AVERAGE CDEF:out at RRDIDX@=outbytes at RRDIDX@,8,* LINE2:in at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ inbound GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %10.1lf (cur) GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %10.1lf (max) GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %10.1lf (min) GPRINT:in at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %10.1lf (avg)\n LINE2:out at RRDIDX@#@COLOR@:@RRDPARAM@ outbound GPRINT:out at RRDIDX@:LAST: \: %10.1lf (cur) GPRINT:out at RRDIDX@:MAX: \: %10.1lf (max) GPRINT:out at RRDIDX@:MIN: \: %10.1lf (min) GPRINT:out at RRDIDX@:AVERAGE: \: %10.1lf (avg)\n Then you can create a new metric on the "Metrics Report" page by adding a new "<option>" ... in the ~hobbit/server/web/hostgraphs_form : Find the "<SELECT" tag and add an option for the "eth0" graph: <SELECT NAME=testname MULTIPLE SIZE=15> <option value="ALL" SELECTED>ALL</option> ... other current options ... <option value="eth0">Network I/O eth0</option> Note that in hobbitgraph.cfg the name is "eth0-multi", but in the hostgraphs_form it is just "eth0". The "-multi" is added automatically. You should then be able to view the eth0 I/O from the Metrics report page.

BUG : Hobbit Netapp.pl plugin issue

Hello guys, This is just a bug report if it could help someone or even better, fixed for the next leap year ;) Here is the "/var/log/hobbit/bb-filer.log" output : Day '29' out of range 1..28 at /home/users/hobbit/application/server/ext/Hobbit_fd_lib.pm line 807 Day '29' out of range 1..28 at /home/users/hobbit/application/server/ext/Hobbit_fd_lib.pm line 807 Day '29' out of range 1..28 at /home/users/hobbit/application/server/ext/Hobbit_fd_lib.pm line 807 I'm wondering how to fix it for the next time.

ntpdate question
by Dirk.Kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hi, before updating our hobbit server to version 4.2.0, I tested the ntp configuration with the bb-ntp-1_4.sh script on the client nodes. When I now configure the server to use the ntp network test instead, I realize that this doesn't work with most of our RedHat clients. I get the response ntpdate -u -q -p 2 a.b.c.d server a.b.c.d, stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000 29 Aug 10:53:26 ntpdate[3509]: no server suitable for synchronization found The network test works with all AIX clients and with older RedHat clients. The manual page of ntpdate on a RedHat machine says, that "the ntpdate program is to be retired from this distribution". Is there another way of testing the ntp synchronisation from the server side or do I still have to use the bb-ntp.sh script? Best wishes, Dirk Kastens

Problem with Links after doing a find host and on info column
by forums＠triadbiz.rr.com 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I need to get some help with a very confusing issue. I have hobbit setup with around 1200 hosts and I have split my bb-hosts file off into multiple site hosts for easier management. But I am having a problem with one site. Some of the links that show up when I do a find hosts show up under another hub site. I tried stopping hobbit and went in and removed all data from all hosts and also removed the respective directories in the www directory and still have the same issue.

'red' status not showing up in history

I have a test that's gone 'red' multiple times today. I know this because I've seen it in the website and alerts have been sent to me.
