Something on the network blew up, router or switch. Of course hobbit went purple. It was a Thursday afternoon and it was in the Network Gods hands at this point. They fixed it that night I had still had the purple condition in the morning. I checked both the server and clients (~100) and everything was running. I restarted both anyway and waited. Went home for the weekend. Came in Monday and still had the purple plague.
Did some reading, found this scrip in one of the hobbit mailing list and ran it.
/usr/lib/hobbit/server
# !/usr/bin/ksh
HBBB="/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bb --debug"
${HBBB} 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard color=purple fields=hostname,testname"|
while read L; do
HOST=`echo $L | cut -d'|' -f1`
TEST=`echo $L | cut -d'|' -f2`
${HBBB} 127.0.0.1 "drop $HOST $TEST"
done
bash-3.00$Purple condition is gone. But so are many of my monitoring tasks such as CPU, processes, file system status, and more. None of them are working sans "conn', 'info', and 'trends.' Even after several days.
What do I need to do to hobbit and/or the client to have these monitored again?
