AW: [hobbit] Hobbit 4.2 alfa release available
Hello Henrik
I have now installed the Hobbit 4.2 alfa realease on my test system.
Is the msgs colum msgs always green ? How can i define which string is yellow or red ?
In which file are the NK definition saved ? Is it possible to edit this file ? Is there any Report to see which Systems are in the NK view and which status is given (Prio etc.) ?
Still see have the problem with double entrys in pagessets. Is this also a point in your TODO list for 4.2 ?
A idea from a office workmate was that a user can compose his own bb-view/bb2-view. So an user has the possiblity to make a windowview with exactly the Systems that he need.
Regards, Roland

It's been close to 6 months since I last released a version of Hobbit with new features and improvements, so I am making an alfa version available for more widespread testing.
It's been uploaded to Sourceforge now, and will be available shortly at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058&package_id=140...
The main features of this release are:
- Client logfile monitoring has been implemented (at last!)
- A completely new "Critical Systems" view with a separate configuration file and web-based GUI for editing it.
- All configuration files now support the "include" directive. In addition, you can include entire directories with a single "directory" statement in the config file.
- Acknowledgments now stay around for a while after the status goes OK, so if a service crashes after a few minutes, the acknowledgment is automatically revived.
- DOWNTIME can be applied to individual statuses.
- Performance improvements throughout all of the Hobbit core tools.
There has been a lot of internal code improvements, and it is almost guaranteed that I have broken something along the way. So the primary purpose of this alfa release is to sniff out those regressions and make sure that they get fixed before the final release.
Documentation on the new features is still being worked on, but there are some preliminary docs included that should get you started. Use the mailing lists if you need help.
And last, but certainly not least, I am thrilled to see that some of you have taken up the challenge of improving Hobbit by providing add-on modules:
- Devmon (SNMP testing): http://devmon.sf.net
- BBWin, an Open-Source Windows client: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin
So lots of things for you to test.
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Henrik

First you must setup the client-local.cfg file to tell the client what logs to monitor. I wrote about this in a previous mail.
Then you can define LOG entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg file, to define which entries go yellow or red.
In which file are the NK definition saved ? Is it possible to edit this file ? Is there any Report to see which Systems are in the NK view and which status is given (Prio etc.) ?
The configuration is stored in ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg . Note that this file must be writable by the user/group running your CGI scripts - typically, you'd do touch hobbit-nkview.cfg chgrp nobody hobbit-nkview.cfg In fact, "make install" ought to do that...
You should be able to edit it with the hobbit-nkedit CGI.

I know ... I have been putting this off because I'd really like to re-do the entire HTML build into something much more "modern" - based on CSS, XML and XSLT. That would give us a lot more flexibility, and require less code.
A idea from a office workmate was that a user can compose his own bb-view/bb2-view. So an user has the possiblity to make a windowview with exactly the Systems that he need.
I've heard that request from others as well. One more reason why I'd like to move away from the static HTML that Hobbit currently generates.

Hi,
i took some time today to play with the 4.2 today snapshot. (ubuntu dapper)
The configuration is stored in ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg . Note that this file must be writable by the user/group running your CGI scripts - typically, you'd do touch hobbit-nkview.cfg chgrp nobody hobbit-nkview.cfg In fact, "make install" ought to do that...
Cannot find any hobbit-nkview.cfg on my installation directory.. Didn't find anymore in the source directory..
root at terkio:/usr/local/src/snapshot# make install [snip] Installation complete.
hobbit at terkio:~$ ls ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg ls: /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg: No such file or directory
You should be able to edit it with the hobbit-nkedit CGI.
Even if i create the file with the rw rights i cannot play with hobbit-nkedit CGI..
Regards,
Etienne

Mea culpa. hobbit-nkedit.cgi needs write access to the ~hobbit/server/etc/ directory (it creates a temporary file which is then renamed into the real configuration file). So
chmod g+w ~hobbit/server/etc chown nobody ~hobbit/server/etc
(substitute the real group-ID that your webserver uses).

Hi,
chmod g+w ~hobbit/server/etc chown nobody ~hobbit/server/etc
(substitute the real group-ID that your webserver uses).
Not better....
But it's really possible that my mind is really disturbed and i don't understand how hobbit-nkedit.cgi should be used... If i'm the only one who got errors...
I will retry tomorrow..

Hi all,
I have noot been able to trigger a msgs red alert with this config:
-----hobbit-clients.cfg----- HOST=argos,eliot LOAD 8.0 16.0 LOG messages %WARNING
---client-local.cfg----- [sunos] log:/var/adm/messages:10240 ... ...
I have following lines in /var/adm/messages of argos client:
Apr 2 06:05:01 argos explorer: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] Explorer started Apr 2 06:06:41 argos ip: [ID 766727 kern.warning] WARNING: The :ip*_forwarding ndd variables are obsolete and may be removed in a future release of Solaris.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Would it be possible to put this file in a different directory (or do away with the temporary file)? This requirement would mean that the user running the webserver (or in your example any member of the group 'nobody') would be able to delete all hobbit config files (unless they are set to be sticky), which is not suitable for some environments/requirements etc.

Hello,
I'm sorry to ask you again about these graphs but is there a way to get the netstat graphs in Mb/s instead of packets/s under linux ? Thanks !

What is the format for defining LOG rules in hobbit-client.cfg? LOG string warnlevel?
Henrik,
Is doing this something you are still considering for 4.2, or is it going to be pushed off to a future release? Seeing that 4.2 has already went alpha, I think I can guess the answer, but thought I would ask anyway since this seems like a really good idea.

You guessed it - definitely NOT for 4.2.
