Hello,

I've noticed a random problem in Hobbit that I can't seem to track down. I thought perhaps other folks had seen the same problem.

Occasionally, paging and notification seems to stop for no reason or all the groups in my file don't get notified. The only way you know that it happens is that we stop receiving notifications. ie...something went wrong and you are not notified.

As an example, a database server last night filled up a /u? partition 100%. We received no email notification of the event.

The notifications.log indicates that messages stopped around 9:21 p.m.... ie...This was the last message at the end of the notifications log.

Mon Jul 9 21:18:39 2007 server1.disk (192.168.10.2) DB_group at myemail.com [129] 1184033919 100

The one above was the last message received. The DB group was notified of the problem, but the unix group was not.

Also, we had other problems, minor, with a couple other systems we should have gotten notices from, but all paging seemed to halt after the last message above.

Has anyone seen this. Any suggested method of tracking it down? I've fixed it in the past by restarting Hobbit, and then notification and paging seem to start working again.

Thanks...James

Hi,

Use the command

~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME ftp"

Where ~/server/bin/bb is path to your bb command and HOSTNAME is name of the machine you what to delete tag for, ftp can be any tag eg http

I can easily add services by vi editing the bb-hosts file with this format 127.0.0.1 HOSTNAME # ftp telnet Then, I deleted again the tags/sevices that I recently added. However, it is still on the Hobbit webpage even it is already deleted in the bb-hosts file. I already restarted the hobbit service but still it doesn't seem to work. Can you give me any idea on how can I delete those services? Thanks in advance. Ryan
