Customer enable/disable script
by gwege＠infomanage.net 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

Hey guys, I've successfully configured the alternate page sets for some of my client, it works great, however I have a few client that I would like to have the ability to enable/disable their hosts. I can get the cgi scripts to work, however all of the hosts in bb-hosts file appear in the host list. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? What are my options? Thanks, Greg

monitoring ssh
by dan.simoes＠gmail.com 23 Aug '07

I know how to monitor the service availablity on port 22. I'm wondering if anyone has actually made a script that connects, logs in, writes a file (say with scp) and only then returns a green status. We got burned with an ssh keys problem so I have to deploy something like this.

We had some system network issues recently and are looking for proactive ways to alert out NOC of them. Would it be possible to have hobbit alert on packet errors or collisions that have increased by some threshold number? # netstat -i Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis Queue lo0 8232 loopback localhost 1700096752 0 1700096752 0 0 0 eri0 1500 x.x.com x.x.com 1120761762 17230093 1300984718 3 0 0 Thanks, John

PATTERN is not behaving right
by vadud3＠gmail.com 23 Aug '07

I have a mix environment of solaris and freebsd. I want to make sure hobbit checks for /var/log/messages for freebsd servers. All these servers ".*-apps1-*|dca-apps2-*|jfk-apps2-*|svl-apps2-*|cer-apps2-*|chi-apps2-*" are freebsd. However it is still looking at /var/adm/messages file for cer-apps2-*|chi-apps2-* servers. Rest of them behaving just fine. Here are the layouts. Any idea where I can look for debug? hobbit-clients.cfg ============== PAGE=apps/apps-OOR EXHOST=%.*-apps1-*|dca-apps2-*|jfk-apps2-*|svl-apps2-*|cer-apps2-*|chi-apps2-* PROC "%/usr/local/sbin/snmpd.*snmpuser" PROC "ipmon -Ds" HOST=%.*-apps1-*|dca-apps2-*|jfk-apps2-*|svl-apps2-*|cer-apps2-*|chi-apps2-* LOG /var/log/messages "%(?-i)WARNING|(?-i)NOTICE|(?-i)ERROR" IGNORE=%PAM|Power FILE /var/log/messages MODE=644 SIZE>0 TRACK DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults.

client problems - connection refused
by frank＠declan.com 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

I'm doing a new installation of Hobbit. I followed the directions from the web and got to "Congratulations, you now have a running Hobbit server!" without problems. Then I added a few clients - the Hobbit server seems to be working fine (immediately as they showed up in the web page http and conn went green) but I cannot seem to get the client installed and working correctly. I tar-ed and copied the client directory to each client machine, created a hobbit user there and setup the ~hobbit/client/ directory. I can launch the client: runclient.sh start and the client/logs/clientlaunch.log shows it started; ps -ef shows it's still running - but client/logs/hobbitclient.log is empty I cannot telnet to the clients on port 1984 - so naturally the hobbit server thinks bbd is dead. Do I have to build the hobbit client on all the clients? Or have I missed something else? Thanks, Frank

Is it possible to introduce some "archiving" concept? Let me explain better. On my Hobbit system I have 1-year and more history for some hosts. I would like to archive this history just like BigBrother can do using bbprune (as I remember right) or in a similar or better way. What do you think about? Regards.

configure the looking of the web page
by c.rehberger＠oclcpica.org 22 Aug '07

Hi all, I've the problem, that I'm using in my configuration under one title many pages. Now the web site is created as long list with only two columns of these pages. All works fine, but is it possible to increase the number of columns to three or four to get a shorter web site? I haven't found anything in the config files... Any ideas?
