I made the change to the config file /etc/rc.config.d/hobbit-client on the client MACHINEDOTS="dione". I then restarted the client and I can now see all the metrics (cpu, disk etc...).

Here is an attached copy of the hobbit client init script. This came with the hobbit depot I installed the client from.

Sounds like you haven't got the Hobbit client running on that server, or at least - it isn't reporting into Hobbit with the right hostname. Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report and see if your host is listed there - it will be, if the client uses a different hostname than what you have in bb-hosts. In that case, put a CLIENT:clientname entry in bb-hosts so Hobbit knows how to connect the two names. If it's not in the Ghost client list, then you must check if the client is running at all, and if it can connect to the Hobbit server to send data (from the client, run "telnet HOBBITHOST 1984" and see if it will connect). BTW, there won't be an UP or LOAD column - these data are presented as part of the "cpu" status. And there's no need to restart anything when changing this configuration.

hi! i have hobbit running and my clients sending the server the output of the lm_sensor command to show temperatures and voltages of the mainboard. The output looks basically like this: as99127f-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at e800 VCore 1: +2.05 V (min = +1.74 V, max = +2.22 V) VCore 2: +2.59 V (min = +2.24 V, max = +2.74 V) +3.3V: +3.50 V (min = +2.96 V, max = +3.62 V) +5V: +5.08 V (min = +4.49 V, max = +5.48 V) +12V: +11.67 V (min = +9.12 V, max = +13.62 V) -12V: -11.57 V (min = -14.37 V, max = -9.60 V) -5V: -5.23 V (min = -6.00 V, max = -4.00 V) Cha Fan: 1940 RPM (min = 664 RPM, div = 4) P/S Fan: 2636 RPM (min = 1328 RPM, div = 4) temp1: +27�C (high = +40�C, hyst = +38�C) temp2: +32.7�C (high = +52�C, hyst = +47�C) vid: +2.000 V (VRM Version 8.2) I have set up a custom rrd graph to plot these data. However, I am getting the following error in the rrd-status.log: RRD error creating /usr/lib/hobbit/data/rrd/server/sensors.rrd: Duplicate DS name: 12V It seems that +12V and -12V are treated as a single name. how can I avoid this problem? thanks, Thomas

Alternate to msgcache/hobbitfetch?
by haertig＠avaya.com 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

I've got some servers out in the DMZ that can't talk directly to the corporate network. I can get out to them via socks/ssh. I do not want to run another listening service (msgcache) out there in the DMZ. Is there a way to configure the client to collect messages to a file (without msgcache listening), and then go retrieve/process those file(s) via ssh from the Hobbit server and process normally? What I'm doing now is not installing the client in the DMZ, and instead using a custom Hobbit server script that socks/ssh'es out to the DMZ and runs it's own data collection commands. The data collected is similar to what the client would normally do, but it's all done via custom script without any help from the Hobbit client. I guess what I'm looking for is a hobbitfetch variant that uses ssh/scp rather than connecting to a msgcache listener. And along with that, a way to configure the client to collect data normally, but skip starting a listening service.

Well, duh! I didn't know Hobbit/rrdtool did that!
by haertig＠avaya.com 03 Jun '07

After messing around and messing around trying to set graph timeframes and vertical axis limits, I just had a duh! moment. You don't need that. Those little magnifying glass icons? Yeah, I had clicked on them before expecting to zoom in on the graph. But it never zoomed in ... it just showed the same graph again on a seperate webpage. I figured it was some broken feature. My duh! moment just came when I accidently drug my mouse cursor over part of the "non zoomed" graph and noticed, "Hey! I wonder why it highlighted only that small portion of the graph?!" Release the mouse button and it becomes very evident why. DUH!!! How is it possible for me to have been so stupid?! :-o

crazy HTTP test in bb2.html
by giovanni＠redix.com.br 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

Hi everyone, I'm having a problem using the http test... The problem is, the test keeps going red->green and green->red in bb2.html page, but if i click in the history of http column, only green status appears 100% green all the time, thats the strange thing. The bb-hosts follows the syntax below: IPADDRESS HOST # http://FULL_URL The tcp graph is OK! and i haven't found anything in the logfiles... I'm using hobbit 4.2.0 patched. Any suggestion ? Cheers.

[hobbit] ncv double DS name

Without looking at the NCV code, I would guess that it is ignoring any leading characters that might be considered punctuation. Can you run the output of the command through sed to change +12V to 12Vp and -12V to 12Vn ?

hobbitd_alert: Servers on multiple pages & PAGE= rules
by s_aiello＠comcast.net 01 Jun '07

Lets say I have the following bb-hosts file: page servers subpage Web Web Servers 1.2.3.4 Web01.domain.com # 1.2.3.5 Web02.domain.com # Subpage Other Other Web Servers 0.0.0.0 Web02.domain.com # And now I have the following hobbit-alerts.cfg: PAGE=servers/Other SERVICE=conn MAIL coolguy at domain.com COLOR=red,yellow Now I run the command, "bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test Web02.domain.com conn", I see: 2007-03-30 15:09:38 Using default environment file ..../server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 00000897 2007-03-30 15:09:38 send_alert Web02.domain.com:conn state Paging 00000897 2007-03-30 15:09:38 Matching host:service:page 'Web02.domain.com:conn:server/Web' against rule line 119 00000897 2007-03-30 15:09:38 Failed 'PAGE=servers/Other SERVICE=conn' (pagename not in include list) So it seems when using PAGE= alert rules only honor the first page a device is listed on. Is this by design ?

Then wait 10 minutes for hobbitd to pick up the new bb-hosts file, and the client to send in the data. Or (if you're impatient): Find the "hobbitd" process-ID and do a "kill -HUP <pid>" on the Hobbit server to force a bb-hosts reload, and after that on the "dione" server you run "bb HOBBITSERVERIP '@' < /usr/local/libexec/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt Does that help ?
