22 Nov '07

Hi people, I would like to build hobbit client on some target machines. Now I'm not sure about some targets, as they seem to me like the same. I hope, someone could tell me, wether the following machines are the same so I could copy the same client to these machines. System Model Processor # / Type Proc Clock Speed Memory Size 7029-6C3 1 / PowerPC_POWER4 1200 MHz 8192 MB 7029-6C3 1 / PowerPC_POWER4 1200 MHz 3072 MB 7029-6C3 2 / PowerPC_POWER4 1452 MHz 4096 MB Thanks in advance.

AIX 5.2 & hobbit 4.2.0: build problem

Hello people, I hope someone could help me on this. I tried to install hobbit stable release (4.2.0) on an aix machine. Actually everything went well, until I run gmake install. Unfortunately I don't know what I should change (regarding "chgrp", or is "mv"?) ? So I hope someone could explain me, how I can resolve this problem. System: AIX 5.2.0.6, hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz (stable release) user: hobbit (group: hobbit) Makefile.AIX (partialy); # Compile flags for normal build with gcc CC = gcc CFLAGS = -O -D_REENTRANT $(OSDEF) $ MAKE=gmake ./configure.server\ --rrdinclude /opt/freeware/include --rrdlib /opt/freeware/lib \ --pcreinclude /opt/freeware/include --pcrelib /opt/freeware/lib \ --sslinclude /opt/freeware/include/openssl --ssllib /usr/linux/lib \ $ gmake (-> exit error = 0) # gmake install ... chgrp `id -g hobbit` /var/log/hobbit /home/hobbit/server /home/hobbit/server/* /home/hobbit/server/bin/* /home/hobbit/server/etc/* /home/hobbit/server/ext/* /home/hobbit/server/web/* /home/hobbit/server/www/gifs /home/hobbit/server/www/gifs/* /home/hobbit/server/www/menu /home/hobbit/server/www/menu/* /home/hobbit/server/www/help /home/hobbit/server/www/notes /home/hobbit/server/www/html /home/hobbit/server/www/wml /home/hobbit/data /home/hobbit/data/* chgrp /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg.bak 0481-002 chgrp: /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg is not a recognized group.

Hi Antonio, I got your mail from mail archive list. could you plese go through the below mail and if possible, could you plese help me on this. I will really appreciate. Thanks, Haresh ________________________________ From: Shah, Haresh K (GE, Corporate, consultant) Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 10:06 AM To: 'sigurdur at raforninn.is'; 'martin.flemming at desy.de'; 'josh at imaginenetworksllc.com'; 'Thomas.Kern at hq.doe.gov' Subject: RE: [hobbit] to add custom script in hobbit & also drop undesirable column Hi All, Thanks for your reply. Actually my first problem (to drop some of the tests) got resolved. But my second question is still unresolved. I want to add one test and thus the column in sucah a way that i am able to see it on the web page with the output. I go through the following link : http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbit/help/hobbit-tips.html#scripts I implemented it but it didn't work. couple of questions : 1) It describes how to do it from client side but from server side configuration it didn't tell clearly that whether we need to add such type of para in the server's hobbitlaunch.cfg file or not. If yes, then instead of client home path i need to put server's path? [myscript] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/myscript.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/myscript.log INTERVAL 5m 2) let's say i have 2 server - server1 & server2. Now if i want to have soome data to be generated through ext script from client side(server2) then how hobbit server which is on server1 comes to know about the collection of data from server2. 3) In the above link one example script provided from server side and client side. acording to it do we need to put some entry in the bb-hosts file to trigger the test for particular host? 4) Please help me to make the script (i.e. shown in the above link) running for my hobbit. Please provide me step by step guide or small how-to. NOTE: currently I am using only one server for hobbit client as well as server. but once I will get an idea about the ext scripts then i need to put ext scripts and make it run from different server. Thanks, Haresh

restricting access to hobbit
by philwild＠gmail.com 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hello, I am looking at setting up hobbit to manage two groups of hosts. I would prefer to just deploy one hobbit installation for both groups. For most of the hobbit web pages, Apache security solves a lot of the browsing issues but the cgi-bin executables and menus are the problem. I want to make sure one group don't have access to see or make changes to the other groups hosts. The areas I see a problem with are: hobbit-enadis.sh bb-findhost.sh hobbit-confreport.sh I would like to restrict the above to only work with a subset of hosts (perhaps a tag in the bbhosts file) The reports generate web pages on the fly and drop the user at the top level page which is not what I would prefer (each group have their own top level page etc.) All nongreen view is also an issue and lastly, manually modifying the URL based on bb-hostsvc.sh to get to a web page for a host in the other groups list is also a problem. Any ideas how I can address this? Thanks Phil
