Historical status not available
by rsmrcina＠wi.rr.com 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

When clicking on an icon on the non-Green page, I get a (mostly) blank page with the subject message on it. I tracked this down to running out of inodes, I trimmed history and restarted Hobbit. But, I still can not access the history data. I rebooted the machine and it appears I can see history data for new events, but events from before the reboot still display the above message. -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

hobbitdboard via bbproxy
by bgmilne＠staff.telkomsa.net 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

I have a multi-server setup, with one display/bbnet, and two other bbnet/bbproxy boxes. The only access to the display server from some networks is via the proxies. I now require some of the clients behind one of the proxies to check the status of some of their tests, and I thought hobbitdboard or similar would be ideal. I can use 'bb $displayserver "hobbitdboard host=foo service=bar color=red"' from the proxy, but I can't do 'bb localhost "hobbitdboard host=foo service=bar color=red"' from the proxy, while say 'bb localhost "config bb-msgtab"' does work from the proxy. So, I don't see that I should need to change any configuration on the display server, but why isn't this command working via bbproxy? All boxes are running 4.2.0 with allinone patch from 20061003. Regards, Buchan

Monitor Fujitsu or HP Linux servers
by johan.boye＠latecoere.fr 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hello guys, I'm aware that question could be out of the scope of the hobbit but I think many powerful guys here could help me anyway, so here am I ;) I'm running a couple of racked servers from Fujitsu-Siemens or HP company. I'm using Hobbit to monitor them without any problem but I noticed any error from the log when I unplugged one of the two power plug! The warn worked on Sun OS monitored. By any change, do you know any tips or packages could do the trick to noticed an error when a power plug in removed or one of the HD crash (we are using HW RAID) ? Thanks!

extended use of procs (the second)
by martin.flemming＠desy.de 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Sorry, my first mail match into another thread (Conn Test Times) ...... Hi ! I would use the procs-function to count several software versions & programms to see which version will be heavily used or nobody cares about it ... (our software developer want's to know it ) ... So, the first shot was to include this in the PROCS test and it runs really good with rrd-files and graphs ... but the procs-test should be only my test for important system-processes ... So i want to have the same test but with another flag like "sfw" or something else ... Is there a solution to use PROCS exactly for another/additional test ? .. or got anybody a another solution or hint for it ? Thanks, Martin

Out of memory possibly due to hobbitd.chk corruption
by charles.goyard＠orange-ftgroup.com 16 Oct '07

Hi, we had a total outage of hobbit yesterday, with the following message in hobbitd's log : Could not fork checkpoint child:Cannot allocate memory The kernel was too logging such problem and started killing procs : kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1341 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1342 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 24132 (hobbitd). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1343 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1344 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1345 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1345 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1284 (pdnsd). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1286 (pdnsd). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 669 (hobbitd). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 827 (bbtest-net). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 832 (hobbitd). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1346 (devmon). kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1347 (devmon). We rebooted, same thing. We rebooted again, stopped hobbit, moved the hobbitd.chk away and started over. It works fine now (17h uptime). Henrik, I have a backup copy of the hobbitd.chk file, is it of some interrest to you ? We run hobbit 4.2.0 with some patches on a Linux box (2.6 kernel). The server usualy uses only 20% of its memory. Regards, -- Charles Goyard - charles.goyard at orange-ftgroup.com - (+33) 1 45 38 01 31 Orange Business Services - online multimedia // ingénierie

[PATCH] Debian packaging fixes
by obi＠saftware.de 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, the attached patch fixes two problems in hobbit 4.2.0: 1.) The package build-depends on librrd0-dev. Alternatively, librrd2-dev can be used, which is present in Debian etch. 2.) In the postinst script of hobbit-client, the used single quotes prevent the variable from being replaced by sed. Instead, double quotes should be used. Best regards, Andreas

Hobbit Client on linux works fine but not on Sun nor Windows
by johan.boye＠latecoere.fr 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Hello, I'm starting to deploy Hobbit on my company network to replace an old BigBrother install. I installed Hobbit on a server and started some test with the client on different recent Linux 2.6. My first problem was that the config the alert for a specific host. The only way I've found is to configure alerts on the localclient.cfg of each client. If not, any information could be monitored by the server (I used to configure hobbit-clients.cfg & bb-hosts on the server but it never works :-/) Anyway, it works by choosing the configuration on the client. All my Debian/Ubuntu are monitored at the moment. I installed the client on SunOS, it starts fine, I've configured the localclient.cfg on the client, bb-hosts on the server. The only thing monitored is the "conn"... looks at the Sun localclient.cfg : DEFAULT # Uptime mini UP 1h # Decalage d'horloge en sec CLOCK 120 # Memoire MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 # Load average LOAD 2.0 5.0 # Espace disque DISK / 70 90 # Processus PROC master 1 yellow PROC smbd 1 red PROC nmbd 1 red PROC ypbind 1 yellow PROC apache2 5 20 red # Fichiers FILE /var/adm/messages SIZE>0 MTIME<1200 yellow FILE /var/adm/messages yellow "timed out!" # LOG LOG %/var/adm/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red I have the same problem with BBWin, here is the bbwin.cfg : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <bbwin> <setting name="bbdisplay" value="yourfirstbbdisplay:1984" />     <setting name="mode" value="local" /> <setting name="configclass" value="win32" /> <setting name="autoreload" value="true" /> <setting name="timer" value="5m" /> <load name="cpu" value="cpu.dll"/> <load name="disk" value="disk.dll"/> <load name="externals" value="externals.dll"/> <load name="memory" value="memory.dll"/> <load name="msgs" value="msgs.dll"/> <load name="procs" value="procs.dll"/> <load name="stats" value="stats.dll"/> <load name="svcs" value="svcs.dll"/> <load name="uptime" value="uptime.dll"/> <setting name="loglevel" value="3" /> <setting name="logpath" value="C:\Program Files\BBWin\logs\BBWin.log"/>  <setting name="logreportfailure" value="false" /> </bbwin> <cpu>  <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" /> <setting name="default" warnlevel="70" paniclevel="95" delay="3" /> </cpu> <disk>  <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" />  <setting name="default" warnlevel="85%" paniclevel="95%" />  <setting name="C" warnlevel="70%" paniclevel="400mb" />   <setting name="remote" value="false" />  <setting name="cdrom" value="false" /> </disk> <externals> <setting name="timer" value="3m" /> <setting name="logstimer" value="60s" /> <memory> <msgs> <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" /> <match logfile="System" type="error" delay="1h" alarmcolor="red" /> <match logfile="System" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="Application" type="error" delay="1h" alarmcolor="red" /> <match logfile="Application" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" /> <match logfile="Security" type="fail" />  </msgs> <procs>  <setting name="drwtsn" rule="-1" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="mmc.exe" rule="-1" alarmcolor="red" /> <setting name="pageant.exe" rule="=1" comment="Putty agent deamon" /> </procs> <svcs>  <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" />  <setting name="autoreset" value="false" /> <setting name="alarmcolor" value="yellow" /> <setting name="Automatic Updates" value="started" autoreset="true" alarmcolor="red" /> </svcs> <uptime> <setting name="delay" value="30m" /> </uptime> </configuration> Any ideas are retreived ?
