[hobbit] unable to monitor nfs with BB extension script

I resolved the "meta" issue with a simple change to the script to redirect STDERR to STDOUT when doing /usr/sbin/metahs -i.

Sorry for the delay in checking back, was off on other tasks for a while. I resolved the "nfs" script in a slightly different way. I noticed that $DF was being changed and $BBOSTYPE was not set the same when the BB extension script ran. So I changed the xymon bb-nfs-client.sh to define and use DFK="/bin/df -k" .

On a different issue, this one relates to the "meta" extension script. I have it working and displaying correct results within the web page, but it curiously writes "metahs: ftp04: no hotspare pools found" to the meta log each time it executes. Any ideas why?

Bill,

I had exactly the same issue. Defining the following variables within the bb-nfs-client.sh script itself is what worked for me.

PING="/usr/sbin/ping" DFSORT="4" DFEXCLUDE="cdrom" DFWARN="90" DFPANIC="95" MACHINE=uname -n

Hope this helps,

Loris

My xymon server is Solaris 10 running Xymon 4.2.3.  I am in the
process of migrating from BB to Xymon.  I have a solaris 10 sparc
client which is running both BB and Xymon clients.  To prep Xymon
for BB extension scripts, I first concatenated bbsys.local onto
hobbitclient.cfg.

Next I installed the BB extension script *bb-nfs-client.sh*.  It
erroneously reports "No NFS filesystems currently mounted on
ftp01" under the Xymon client.  The same script works correctly
under the BB client.

I ran the script in debug mode.  It correctly populates
PINGEDHOSTS and NFSHOST.  However it ends as:

+ /usr/xpg4/bin/egrep -vi (No such file|not a block device)
/export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err
STj
+ /usr/bin/mv -f /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err~
/export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err
+ [ -s /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSOUT.8354.err ]
+ [ -s /export/home/xymon/client/tmp/NFSERR.8354 ]
+ [ green = green ]

+ [  =  -a  =  ]

No NFS filesystems currently mounted on <xxx>


What else do I need to do to get this script working properly
under Xymon?

thanks
