I am running dbcheck and have limited graphs. I wanted to apply this patch to increase the graphing. Looking into the hobbit-perl-client.patch I see a few more headings (see selected extracts below) and assume these will do more than tablespace?
+[HitCache] +[TblSpace] +[TblSpace1] +[RollBack] +[InvObj]
+int do_dbcheck_memreq_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_hitcache_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_session_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_rb_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp) +int do_dbcheck_invobj_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t tstamp)

If I download the [hobbit_4.2.0.dfsg.orig.tar.gz] file, unpack and untar, I can patch it with the allinone.patch and also apply the hobbit-perl-client.patch (for Oracle monitoring - which is what I am trying to do) but cannot build the package with dpkg -b hobbit-4.2.0 as it does not have the dpkg control files etc.
The only reason for this patch is to enable the graphs of the table space. Since I didn't feel like deploying this patch on my production Hobbit servers at the time ... I modified dbcheck.pl to print the tablespace in the same format as the Hobbit disk check ... which allows us to have the tablespace graphs (on the trends page only, not on the tablespace check unfortunately).
There is more benefit to running dbcheck without the Hobbit patch than patching Hobbit ... so I would only waste time on this once you are actually monitoring your Oracle servers with dbcheck.
However ... this does lead to some questions about patches to Hobbit. There is the hobbit-perl-client patch, the BBWin patch, and shortly one for Devmon. Hopefully this isn't going to result in the Qmail situation (where Qmail
administrators spend more time massaging the patches they want than anything else ...). Can we expect integration any of these patches upstream (say, in a Hobbit 4.2.1 release)?
