I¹ve noticed inability to correctly parse ³df² if you have long device names (think device-mapper).

My solution was to change DF=²df ­k² in bbsys.local to DF=²df ­k ­P² for POSIX mode.

Try that and see if it helps?

Hello Hobbit Gurus,

I am seeking help determining why we recently received only some alerts that were configured on a given server.

In my hobbit-clients.cfg file I have multiple sections of relevance:

#######################################################

generic checks for all WebLogic Servers

####################################################### HOST= applesauce,gravy,enchilada,chips DISK * 95 97 PROC dsmcad 1 -1 yellow FILE "%/wls_domains/.*/jrockit..*.dump" NOEXIST red #######################################################

specific checks for applesauce

####################################################### HOST=applesauce LOG /var/log/messages "%(?-i)SERIOUS_CRITICAL" COLOR=yellow PROC "weblogic.Name=" 3 3 red TEXT=TOTAL_WEBLOGIC_PROCESSES PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_alsb_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_ALSB_01 PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_ccs_wli_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_CCS_WLI_01 PROC "weblogic.Name=prod_ccs_aldsp_01" 1 1 red TEXT=PROD_CCS_ALDSP_01

So, a couple of questions:

1.   Is it valid to have different alerts for the same HOST in the

   hobbit-clients.cfg like this? It seemed to work in some instances, but I should ask before moving forwardŠ

2.   Yesterday, I received the alerts with TEXT=

   ³TOTAL_WEBLOGIC_PROCESSES² and ³PROD_ALSB_01² when I logged onto the server, I found the filesystem this process was running on was 100% used, which caused this process to die. I cleaned up a bunch of log files, and restarted the process and all was goodŠ BUTŠ Why didn¹t I receive the alert that the DISK was more than 97% full. I checked the history for the disk usage, and it had been over 95% for at least 6 hours prior to the process going down. Also, the check for the ³jrockit² file did not kick off when that file was create (after the filesystem was at 100%) I need to determine why we weren¹t warned on the disk space issue before our production application came down.

3.   One other thing I noticed was that the IP address for this server was

   incorrect in the bb-hosts file. I assume that¹s an issue, but I¹m not sure why we got some expected alerts and not others. Also, I updated this entry in the bb-hosts file to the correct IP, and cycled the hobbit server, but I am still not receiving the alert on the jrockit file, which is still out there.

Any help is appreciated. I¹m relatively new to Hobbit, so its completely within the realm of possibility that I don¹t have any of this set up correctly. Please feel free to correct me on anything that looks out of whack.
