There's a new release-candidate available at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/
Changes from RC1 include:
Fixed lockup when hobbitd loaded a checkpoint file containing scheduled disable-requests.
The [disk1] graph definition was broken.
Using the "apache" test on a host with no HTTP tests now works, and does not result in a bogus http column.
The bbmessage CGI was using a broken method to fetch the POST data.
hobbit-enadis could crash.
Some AIX installations apparently do not have atoll(). Use the Hobbit internal atoll() routine on AIX.
The "apache" RRD handler now recognizes reports from Apache 1.x for Busy/Idle server processes.
The "sendmail" RRD handler will create RRD-files with room for the "msgsqur" (quarantined messages count) reported by sendmail 8.13+. Existing RRD files will continue to work, but will not track this data item.
A new reporting option lets you save the availability data in a comma-separated file, for import to spreadsheets.
Updates of RRD files now use the RRDtool "template" facility to map data-values to the correct RRD datasets. This should solve the problem with migrating of vmstat data from several systems, including AIX.
A couple of log files have moved to /var/log/hobbit: The nkstatus.log file (from the "server/" directory); and the acklog and notifications.log files (from the data/acks directory).
Hobbit now works when compiled with RRDtool 1.2.x.
/lib64 is searched for libraries by the configure script.
You can now define environment "areas", i.e. an environment variable defined in hobbitserver.cfg can have different values. This lets you eg. setup the BBDISP variable with different values for the maintenance tools, so you can send "disable" messages also to your standby Hobbit server.
You can limit utilisation tracking of filesystems via the new RRDDISKS and NORRDDISKS environment settings.
A new "contrib" directory was added to the distribution. It currently includes a couple of Hobbit logo GIF's, and a HOWTO document describing how to setup a clustered Hobbit installation.
