Hobbit currently does not handle vmstat data coming from IRIX systems.

Indeed, on my former BB install, I hacked the bf-vmstat.sh script a little and made it use "sar" to report data to be processed like vmstat data from other hosts.

The bf-vmstat.sh script I use is:

#!/bin/sh

vmstat-bf.sh

variable definitions

MET=vmstat VMSTAT=/usr/bin/sar OUT=$BBHOME/tmp/$MET.$$

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

COLLECT

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

vmstat

echo "$BBOSTYPE" > $OUT

get the data

$VMSTAT 300 2 | $TAIL -1 >> $OUT

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

REPORT

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

if [ $LARRDCOMM = DATA ] then $BB $BBDISP "data ${MACHINE}.$MET $CAT $OUT"

else $BB $BBDISP "status ${MACHINE}.$MET green date <$MET> $CAT $OUT"

fi

rm $OUT

/usr/bin/sar xx 2 output looks like that:

bb at rhea:~/ext/bf-larrd> /usr/bin/sar 10 2

IRIX64 rhea 6.5 10070055 IP27 05/20/05

The vmstat-larrd.pl entry I use is:

      irix   => {  cpu_usr  => 1,
                   cpu_sys  => 2,
                   cpu_int  => 3,
                   cpu_w  => 4,
                   cpu_idl  => 5,
                 },

How could I hack hobbit so that it may be able to deal with this ?

PS : I have similar hacks for the Super-UX OS run by NEC supercomputers (I run BB clients on both of these)
