[hobbit] Hobbit on a virtual machine?
by Stephen.Budgeon＠marineharvest.com 11 May '07

11 May '07

The only problem we had with it was due to the time drifting... Because the VM does not run 100% of the time, the clock can fall behind. This was especially apparent on Fedora... See http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa;jsessionid=2A2133B9464ADCBE6B6 C37F578A998E8?messageID=382726&#382726 -S -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Mitchell [mailto:ralphmitchell at gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 9:34 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Hobbit on a virtual machine?

Henrik put together a VMWare appliance with Debian+Hobbit. It's in the Hobbitmon Files page on Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=20 0171 Roughly 250Mb... I've tried it, and it works just fine.

How to graph iostats?
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 11 May '07

11 May '07

I have a server with some performance issues, and we'd like to graph disk access (as opposed to utilization). iostat provides the raw data. I see references in hobbitgraph.cfg to an iostat graph type. I see iostat in the TEST2RRD and the GRAPHS variable. I don't know how to feed the raw data to hobbit so that the graph will appear. I tried loading the bb-iostats.sh script, which creates a nice green dot called vmio, but no graphs... Can somebody lend me a clue-by-4? I'm certain I'm missing something terribly trivial, but I've spent most of my effort with hobbit on monitoring routers, and very little on hosts. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com

Hi, I have some hardware with only syslog facility. So I have setup them to send syslog messages to my admin server (host A). Now, I need to monitor these specific syslog files, sending status for these hosts (host 'B'). Any idea ?

Ghost Report Not Showing
by geoff.hallford＠gmail.com 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hello, I am having an issue where the ghost report will not show up. All the feedback I get from the cgi in the browser is: "Failed to retrive ghostlist from server". This feature was working before but is not now for some reason. Any things that I can check? I believe I checked every log file in /var/log/hobbit/ but didn't see anything that would indicate this not working. Thanks. Geoff

LOG pattern not matching

Hi all, I may not be understanding how the LOG match-pattern works.

In the client-local.cfg I have: [sunos] log:/var/adm/messages:10240 So why is the page green? There are at least 3 strings that should match to turn it yellow, right? And incidentally, the BB server I'm running on another host *does* show yellow. I'm trying to validate my hobbit configuration by making sure it matches the running BB server. And it doesn't for msgs, ever. Thanks, Steve.
