2.   Entry on root profile. On Solaris 10, /etc/profile

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/uc b:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/lib

The profile entry should be in that order.

3.   After make & make install, use default apache2 web server on

   Solaris 10. It is installed on /etc/apache2. It can be started on Solaris 10 as mentioned below:-

svcadm enable svc:/network/http:apache2

Go to the ~/server/etc/ directory.

more hobbit-apache.conf

use the entry on this file to update the httpd.conf for your apache server. I am attaching mine httpd.conf for all of you to have an idea.

4.   Next, for my case, I had to add my library path to start hobbit

   server. Please see my hobbit.sh file.

#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Startup script for the Hobbit monitor

This starts the "hobbitlaunch" tool, which in turn starts

all of the other Hobbit server programs.

case "uname -s" in

"SunOS")

    ID=/usr/xpg4/bin/id

    ;;

*)

    ID=id

    ;;

esac

if test $ID -un != root

then

    echo "Hobbit must be started as the root user"

    exit 1

fi

case "$1" in

"start")

    if test -s /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

    then

            kill -0 `cat /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid`

            if test $? -eq 0

            then

                    echo "Hobbit appears to be running, doing restart"

                    $0 stop

            else

                    rm -f /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

            fi

    fi

     /xymon/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitlaunch

--config=/xymon/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg --

env=/xymon/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --log=/var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.log --pidfile=/var/l

    echo "Hobbit started"

    ;;

"stop")

    if test -s /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

    then

            kill -TERM `cat /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid`

            echo "Hobbit stopped"

    else

            echo "Hobbit is not running"

    fi

    rm -f /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

    ;;

"status")

    if test -s /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

    then

            kill -0 `cat /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid`

            if test $? -eq 0

            then

                    echo "Hobbit (hobbitlaunch) running with PID `cat

/var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunc

h.pid`"

            else

                    echo "Hobbit not running, removing stale PID file"

                    rm -f /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

            fi

    else

            echo "Hobbit (hobbitlaunch) does not appear to be running"

    fi

    ;;

"restart")

    if test -s /var/log/xymon/hobbitlaunch.pid

    then

            $0 stop

            sleep 10

            $0 start

    else

            echo "hobbitlaunch does not appear to be running, starting

it"

            $0 start

    fi

    ;;

"reload")

    if test -s /var/log/xymon/hobbitd.pid

    then

            kill -HUP `cat /var/log/xymon/hobbitd.pid`

    else

            echo "hobbitd not running (no PID file)"

    fi

    ;;

"rotate")

    for PIDFILE in /var/log/xymon/*.pid

    do

            kill -HUP `cat $PIDFILE`

    done

    ;;

*)

    echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart|reload|status|rotate"

    break;

esac

exit 0

NB. Please check path as for me I had to modify it.

5.   After starting hobbit server check for errors  on /var/log/xymon

   path and /var/apache2/logs path. I had one more modification where I had to put the path for libraries on all scripts. The cgi-bin and the cgi-secure folder where all scripts are kept. Please vi all the scripts on both folder and add the library path. For me it was as below:-

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib; /usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.19/lib

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For me this has work and I am able to monitor my servers.

Now I want to monitor my oracle databases. Can anyone help me how to monitor my oracle database. Where to put the scripts for performace tuning, tablespace space etc.
