Hello Henrik!
I have some suggestions for the next hobbit release:
- reports from hosts which are not known by the server should appear in the error report of the hobbitd. That would make it easier to find misconfiguration especially with the hostname the client sends.
- Succesfully sent messages should be logged to ensure that the client works correctly. It would be enough to log the last sent message for having a static small size of the logfile
- Bugfix: The Linux client does not stop the vmstat-process by stopping hobbitclient. See the shell-output below:
[root@*** /]# ps -ef | grep hobbit hobbit 28837 1 0 14:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/usr/local/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg --log=/usr/local/hobbit/client/logs/clientlaunch.log --pidfile=/usr/local/hobbit/client/logs/clientlaunch.pid hobbit 28917 1 0 14:36 ? 00:00:00 sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>/usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.28907 2>&1; mv /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.28907 /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat hobbit 28919 28917 0 14:36 ? 00:00:00 vmstat 300 2 root 28938 27515 0 14:38 pts/2 00:00:00 grep hobbit [root@*** /]# /etc/init.d/hobbitc stop Hobbit client stopped [root@*** /]# ps -ef | grep hobbit hobbit 28917 1 0 14:36 ? 00:00:00 sh -c vmstat 300 2 1>/usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.28907 2>&1; mv /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat.28907 /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/hobbit_vmstat hobbit 28919 28917 0 14:36 ? 00:00:00 vmstat 300 2 root 28960 27515 0 14:38 pts/2 00:00:00 grep hobbit
I hope you think these features could be useful and implement them into the next release. Thanks and best regards Christian
