Issue with bbproxy

Henrick, the bbproxy.log was last updated on the 10/30/07, and hobbit itself does not appear to even be working anymore. Below are the portions for hobbitlaunch.cfg and hobbitserver.cfg for both servers. The only way I can get anything to work is to enable hobbitd and disable bbproxy on .4's hobbitlaunch.cfg. If I do anything else no data is collected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ .4 server ---------bbproxy.log has not worked in days. The last entries are: 2007-10-30 13:21:06 Caught TERM signal, terminating 2007-10-30 13:21:08 bbproxy version 4.2.0 starting 2007-10-30 13:21:08 Listening on 192.168.213.4:1984 2007-10-30 13:21:08 Sending to BBDISPLAY(s) 127.0.0.1:1984 192.168.213.5:1984 2007-10-30 13:21:08 Sending to BBPAGER(s) 127.0.0.1:1984 192.168.213.5:1984 2007-10-30 13:35:04 Caught TERM signal, terminating ---------hobbitlaunch.cfg [hobbitd] DISABLED ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD hobbitd --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log --admin-senders=$BBSERVERIP --store-clientlogs=!msgs [bbproxy] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log ---------hobbitserver.cfg BBSERVERHOSTNAME="apollo.tfc.com" # The hostname of your server BBSERVERIP="127.0.0.1" # General settings BBPORT="1984" # Portnumber where hobbitd/bbd listens BBDISP="192.168.213.4" # IP of a single hobbit/bbd server BBDISPLAYS="" # IP of multiple hobbit/bbd servers.

New to Hobbit --- file monitoring
by mohnkern＠gmail.com 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

I'm relatively new to Hobbit, but I'm learning quickly. I'm in a mixed OS environment, with one Linux server, one linux notebook, 2 windows machines, a network printer and a VOIP box. I've managed to get the bb-hosts file so it monitors all the equipment, and I've got the ports set so it's checking ports on the server. What I'd like to do is do file checking, starting with just to see if a file exists. I added the following to /etc/hobbit/hobbit-clients.cfg FILE "/etc/passwd" GREEN NOEXIST TRACK Just to have it check to see if /etc/passwd existed. (I may have this reversed, but more on that later). Restarting hobbit, and it still showed "no files being checked" So I added the following to /etc/hobbit//client-local.cfg file:/etc/passwd Restarted Hobbit, still nothing. I'm clearly missing a piece to the puzzle. There's also a directory /usr/lib/hobbit but I can't imagine any configure files go there. If it helps, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10. So if I want to monitor for file existence, on the server, where (and what) do I plug in?

Issue with bbproxy
by akincaid＠beckautogroup.com 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

The bb-hosts file on .4 (the remote server) has these entries: 192.168.213.4 apollo.tfc.com #bbd http://apollo.tfc.com 192.168.213.6 bomgar # ping http://192.168.213.6 I added these entries into the bb-hosts file on .5 (the main server) this morning 192.168.213.4 apollo.tfc.com #noconn 192.168.213.6 bomgar #noconn After doing this the messages in hobbitd went away Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Now my /hobbit/bb.html page shows both "remote" items but has no data on them other then bbproxy, info and trends on .4. The bbproxy icon on the main servers /hobbit page shows this: bbproxy for Hobbit version 4.2.0 Proxy statistics Incoming messages : 43 (0 msgs/second) Outbound messages : 292 Incoming message distribution - Combo messages : 12 - Status messages : 253 Messages merged : 10 Resulting combos : 2 - Page messages : 0 - Other messages : 31 Proxy ressources - Connection table size : 1 - Buffer space : 8 kByte Timeout/failure details - reading from client : 0 - connecting to server : 275 - sending to server : 0 - recovered : 0 - reading from server : 0 - sending to client : 0 Average queue time : 30.618 On .4 hobbitlaunch.cfg I changed all the other services that had NEEDS hobbitd to say NEEDS bbproxy as mentioned in http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00833.html, but this did not help. What am I missing? From: Aaron Kincaid Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 1:55 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Issue with bbproxy Having an issue with bbproxy. I have a main hobbit box 192.168.213.5 and a secondary box that currently has 192.168.213.4 (it will be moved offsite after testing and setup is completed) I want .4 to forward all info to .5, but 4 does not need to display anything locally. On .4 I have tried various things with no apparent progress. In hobbitlaunch.cfg I disabled hobbitd as instructed and set [bbproxy] up as follows [bbproxy] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid On the main server .5, I get the following messages under hobbit process Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info Do I need to do something on .5? I tried adding 'apollo.tfc.com' and 'bomgar' to the bbhosts file on .5 but that appears to have produced resulted in .5 simply checking the hosts out for itself instead of using .4's results. So, several questions: 1) How to I display the result from .4 on .5? 2) Where will the info appear? On the bb.html page or can I make it appear in one of my existing PAGE groups? 3) In the future can I use --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5 to use the FQDN for when I finally deploy it? Thanks in advance, Aaron Kincaid

Keeping menus viewable

Before diving into this task and asking for help I'm willing to bet that someone on this mailing list has already accomplished this task. Let me know so I don't have to research all this stuff, if you would =) I am interested in making is so that as I scroll down on the page the menus in the top left corner keep their position anywhere on the page. I've been suggested the best way to do this was with CSS. To begin with, where would the best place to be adding the CSS code to do this? -- Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer

config report (critical)
by rlapuz＠fcpp.fujitsu.com 31 Oct '07

Hi all! I added some hosts and services as critical systems and its working as expected. However, when I click Config report (critical), it says "0 hosts included". What seems to be the problem? I have Hobbit 4.2.0 w/ all-in-one patch installed in Fedora core 6 (1.60 GHzX2, 1 GB of RAM, 80 GB of HDD) Thanks and regards, Ryan

File monitoring with BBWin
by allan＠zandahar.net 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Howdy, Just wondering if anything further has been written for the fsmon external script in BBWin to be able to monitor files the same way the Hobbit client does. I've had a requirement come up today that I need to generate an alert if files with a particular string get created. If/When it fails it starts generating dump files like theres no tomorrow. I've had a quick look on deadcat and found one called 'filecheck.cmd' that looks like it could do the trick but am yet to even download and look at it Allan
