Here is a list of the log files on the client along with their location. There is nothing but Hobbit launch info in the clientlaunch.log file and nothing in the other one. /usr/local/libexec/hobbit/client/logs > ll total 32 -rw------- 1 root sys 484 Jun 1 10:19 clientlaunch.log -rw------- 1 root sys 6 Jun 1 10:19 clientlaunch.pid -rw------- 1 root sys 0 May 31 18:21 hobbitclient.log There are just two hosts in the bb-hosts file, this one and the server.

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.

Custom graphs: RRD database won't populate
by haertig＠avaya.com 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

I'm trying to do my first custom graph, using data collected from a custom script. The script collects data fine, and successfully updates hobbit at it's regular five minute increments. The data as sent looks like this: five : 17 ten : 24 fifteen : 30 twenty : 42 thirty : 62 fortyfive : 81 sixty : 108 ninety : 166 onetwenty : 218 oneeighty : 349 The column name is 'recent'. Here's BBHOSTS: group-only recent|pending|stuck Maestro 0.0.0.0 maestro_alarm_cases # prefer noconn recent pending stuck NAME:"Alarm Cases" and hobbitserver.cfg: TEST2RRD="cpu=la,disk,inode,qtree,memory,<more stuff>,ports,clock,lines,recent=ncv" NCV_recent="five:GAUGE,ten:GAUGE,fifteen:GAUGE,twenty:GAUGE,thirty:GAUGE ,fortyfive:GAUGE,sixty:GAUGE,ninety:GAUGE,onetwenty:GAUGE,oneeighty:GAUG E" I stopped/started hobbit server. I've been watching the 'recent' column update regularly every five minutes, for at least 45 minutes now. But there doesn't appear to be any RRD data file for this 'recent' test: find /development/hobbit/data/rrd -name "*recent*" -print The above 'find' command finds nothing related to 'recent' (although there are plenty of OTHER test's RRD files in that directory - default tests - just not my custom test) I must have missed something simple. I've gone over the hobbit webserver's HTML help on "Custom Graphs" several times, but can't find the cause of my error.

I have the hobbit client running on HPUX 11.11 and I can see three tests (conn, info, and trends). I have added the following to the hobbit-clients.cfg file on the server. HOST=dione.namerica.idexxi.com UP 1h LOAD 2.8 4.0 DISK * 85 95 Which appears before the defaults keyword. I restarted both the server and the client but still do not see the UP LOAD and DISK columns.

depends tag limitations
by Dominique.Frise＠unil.ch 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi, This is an extract of a previous reply from Henrik (http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2006/10/msg00141.html) ----------- > *It would be nice if the depend tag worked for any column/test type*. > I looked at using the "depends" tag, but it appears that *depends only > works for network checks*. Agreed. The dependency checks are currently implemented in the network test tool (bbtest-net), instead of in the hobbitd daemon - that is the reason why they only work for network tests. And that is purely for historical reasons. I expect to move all of the dependency code into hobbitd soon, together with the combination-test handling (the stuff currenly done by bbcombotest), that will eliminate this rather silly restriction. Regards, Henrik ----------- Are the above limitations been removed in the current snapshot? If not when is this going to be implemented? Thanks. Dominique UNIL - University of Lausanne

Bug in custom graphs using existing rrds
by giovanni＠redix.com.br 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi everyone, I made a custom graph called "eth0/eth1/eth2/ethX", i've just used the RRD from ifstat (ifstat.eth0.rrd) and voilá! it works! A separate graph for every interface... But... This graphs don't appears in trends page, just if i see manually using hobbitgraph.sh. After a few hours of research, i've discovered that the trends problem is the name of the graph comparing with the name of the rrdfile... If i rename the graph to "ifstat" it works... or just symlinking ifstat.eth0.rrd to eth0.rrd. Hobbit uses a certain way to find out if the graph is active/exists or not, maybe is that the problem, the way to do that... comparing the graph name to the rrd file. Maybe someway to force a graph appears in trends page ? Don't know... For now i've just symlinked everything, lol. Any thoughts ? Henrik ? :-) With best regards, -- Giovanni M. Frainer
