hobbit server restart
by Robert-Manocchia＠IDEXX.com 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I had the hobbit server moved from one virtual machine to another. Before that happened I stopped the hobbit client and hobbit server and halted the box. I then restarted the hobbit server and hobbit client. I am receiving alerts fine but the web page will not come up. Is there anything I missed or did wrong in the restart of the hobbit server.

Problems with files, msgs, and ports
by Dirk.Kastens＠uni-osnabrueck.de 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi, since I installed the latest hobbit snapshot someday in February, my hobbit server had serious problems with files, msgs, and ports tests. The color of several hosts frequently changed from green to clear or purple, even when those hosts never examined these tests. When I clicked on the msgs icon of host1, for example, I saw the messages of host2, etc. Everything was totally messed. I switched back to the snapshot from November (Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20071026) and everything is fine again. Did you change something in the configuration of hobbit or is this a bug? -- Regards, Dirk Kastens Universitaet Osnabrueck, Rechenzentrum (Computer Center) Albrechtstr. 28, 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Tel.: +49-541-969-2347, FAX: -2470

Sending Alerts
by joshua＠stenhouseconsulting.com 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hello, I will have a script sending alerts to Hobbit based on email which is piped to the script. Thanks to those who helped get me this working!! My question is about how Hobbit handles alerts. I understand that Hobbit goes blue if no report is received after X (default 30min?) amount of time and my alerts will likely only come through once a day or maybe longer. Can Hobbit be set to stay green until it received a yellow or red condition and then stay in that condition until it is acknowledged and/or until another green condition is received? If only one message/report is coming each day and hobbit goes blue after 30 minutes it will almost always be blue. How do I resolve this in Hobbit? If Hobbit can't do this then I have to keep the status of the alerts externally and have my script run every x min to send Hobbit green /yellow/red status. Someone else must have tackled this issue!?

clientupdate with bbmessage
by philwild＠gmail.com 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hello hobbit users, Can anyone tell me if bbmessage.cgi correctly handles clientupdate processes?The man page does not mention this and I am guessing that it does not. Is there a document somewhere that describes the client update process from a communications perspective? Cheers Phil -- Tel: 0400 466 952 Fax: 0433 123 226 email: philwild at gmail.com

Restarting hobbit server
by Robert-Manocchia＠IDEXX.com 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

The hobbit server hardware was switched from one virtual server to another newer box. The nodename and IP address remained the same. I brought down the hobbit client and hobbit server on the box and halted it. It was then switch to the new hardware. I restarted the hobbit server and hobbit client. Now I cannot get the web page to appear. Am I missing something.?

Cleanup Script, and alert issue
by shawn.maschino＠sabic-ip.com 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi everyone. I've read in prior posts about an admin clean-up script that sounds like it will clean up Hobbit's data files for systems that are no longer in the bb-hosts list. I could use a copy of that, and the URL in the mails and on the Shire point to http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~henk/hobbit/ <http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~henk/hobbit/> which I can't get in to. Is the script no longer available, or perhaps hidden in the 4.2.0 release somewhere I haven't noticed it? If someone could pass on a copy it would be appreciated. I'm hoping the script is smart enough to deal with includes in the bb-hosts file, as all my systems are defined in sub-files and just included in there. Secondly, and somewhat related, our install has been sending a mass number of email alerts for systems and alerts no longer defined. I hope the clean-up script will address that, but just for future reference is there any file or queue I can look into to see what is pending as alerts? I disabled the alerting via hobbitlaunch.cfg for now and won't want to turn it back on until I know it is safe. We flooded 1800+ alerts and can't have that happen again! Thanks, Shawn
