greetings,
i have been getting hobbit alerts about processes not running, having a look at the process list shows an incomplete 'ps' section.
nothing searched on the mailing list related to this issue as such.
running the following on the hostdata file on the hobbit server showed the following:
egrep '^\[.*\]$' 1191352319 [date] [uname] [osversion] [uptime] [who] [df] [mount] [free] [ifconfig] [route] [netstat] [ports] [ifstat] [ps]
doing this on other files shows me that more sections after 'ps' should be in the file. the data seems to be cut short.
this only happens on occasion, i cant really pin it down to certain times of the day (if/when backups take place on the network causing a lot more traffic) either.
there is nothing particularly helpful in hobbitclient logs. on the client side i am getting the following in hobbitclient.log, but not at the time when the issue occurred.
2007-10-01 21:16:46 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
im wondering if it is a problem on the client before it sends the data to the server, or if it is a network congestion issue maybe. any tips on how i should go about diagnosing this would be helpful.
thanks.

Hi guys. I know this is kind of off the limits..but what command can i use to check if the hobbit application is up and running??..to check its status and if its down how do i enable it? Help out...Thanks. Alyn

From the description: The bbd column shows the status of the Hobbit or Big Brother service on the host. The bbd service is an essential part of the Hobbit or Big Brother monitoring system, so a failure of this service typically means that a large part of the monitoring system is no longer operational.

Thank you for that reply...but what i really was asking is that...wht command can i use to check or enable the running of hobbit...considering all the components are okay. for example is it anything like chk status..bbstatus..which command. Thanks

we use ps and grep in a script to ensure that the hobbitlaunch process is running, and run that script in cron periodically, mailing if hobbitlaunch isn't found..

well what i described is just how we try to ensure that it is running, more client side than anything else, but starting and stopping it very specific to the OS.
we use red hat and typically 'service hobbitclient start' would start the client for us, this gets done at startup by red hat's init scripts etc.
you may find more luck trying the mailing lists/documentation of the OS you use, to figure out how services and started/stopped etc

When you tried to find the process, did you use the arguments ef for ps? Try running ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch If that process is not running, your bbd is obviously not running and therefor not performing any tests.
I've confirmed this works on my server - CentOS5 (a RHEL distro).

when i run it..it gives the following. TM:/home/hobbit/server/etc # ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch root 13113 13104 0 16:53 pts/2 00:00:00 grep hobbitlaunch.
does that mean it is okay?..if so..then how comes when i try to open the hobbit application itself..i get something like this.. "An error occurred while loading http://10.176.10.69/hobbit/: Could not connect to host 10.176.10.69."
Thank you.

No...that is actually your grep command you ran...if this is the only output then hobbit is not running. The other question here is do you have apache running on 10.176.10.69...I doubt it based on the error.

That's two different problems:
Hobbitlaunch is not showing up in the ps, so it isn't running.
It looks like your webserver isn't running either, or that address is wrong, or your browser can't get to that address for some reason.

This means your hobbit processes are NOT running. Try ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch|grep -v grep to exclude the grep task...
Do you have the webserver configured on your Hobbit box?

Hobbitlaunch running example:
[shire at frodo ~]$ ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch shire 6200 1 0 04:52 ? 00:00:00 /home/shire/server/bin/hobbitlaunch --config=/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg --env=/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --log=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log --pidfile=/var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.pid shire 17177 15967 0 17:21 pts/0 00:00:00 grep hobbitlaunch
Running Apache httpd example:
[shire at frodo ~]$ ps -ef|grep httpd shire 17223 15967 0 17:22 pts/0 00:00:00 grep httpd root 29834 1 0 Oct03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd apache 29836 29834 0 Oct03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd <--- Several similar to this
Please confirm that you have a httpd process running. Also, try browsing to the http://10.176.10.69/ <http://10.176.10.69/hobbit/> and see if you get a response.
