Almost - when you do that you dont get trends, you get previous periods for that test. I'm looking for a way to watch get a trends view with all the tests from the trends page, but from a different period.

You can almost get what you want from the metrics report. It allows you to choose a system and a time frame, but will not display all graphs for a system. It would be a useful feature to do what you are asking for.

Greetings,

This feature sounds very cool. When I attempt to compile the snapshot I receive the following error:

gcc -g -O -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DBIND_8_COMPAT=1 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DDarwin -I. -I/Users/hobbit/Desktop/snapshot/include -I/opt/local/include -I. -I../include -c -o acklog.o acklog.c In file included from /Users/hobbit/Desktop/snapshot/include/libbbgen.h:69, from acklog.c:28: /Users/hobbit/Desktop/snapshot/include/../lib/msort.h:17: error: conflicting types for 'mergesort' /usr/include/stdlib.h:288: error: previous declaration of 'mergesort' was here acklog.c: In function 'do_acklog': acklog.c:119: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'nldecode' differ in signedness make[1]: *** [acklog.o] Error 1 make: *** [lib-build] Error 2

The referenced line from stdlib is:

int mergesort(void *, size_t, size_t, int (*)(const void *, const void *));

Thanks,

Mike

I started doing this yesterday, thinking it would be a simple task ... well, it was a bit more complicated than I thought. But I think it's working now - unfortunately, it is also mixed in with some of the other changes that have happened since 4.2.0.

So I won't make a patch against 4.2.0, but if you really want it then you can grab the current snapshot and build it, then copy the web/hobbitsvc.cgi to ~hobbit/server/bin/ and hobbitd/webfiles/trends_form to the ~hobbit/server/web/ directory.

This has a small form at the top of the "trends" page where you can pick how much time the graphs should cover. The default is 48 hours (as before), but you can change that by setting TRENDSECONDS in hobbitserver.cfg - as the name implies, it is in seconds.

The form layout on the trends page will probably change a bit, perhaps to some drop-down boxes.

Henrik,

The latest snapshot compiles and runs nicely. Thanks for making the change, and thanks again for Hobbit.

Why must OSX always pick the same names for things that I want to use ???

Oh well ... I'll rename my mergesort() routine to "msort" and see if that works better.

The form layout on the trends page will probably change a bit, perhaps to some drop-down boxes.

Since you mentioned that the trends page may change a bit, I would like to submit some ideas that I had about the trends page.

1. I consider the trends page to display the 'critical' trends. If too many graphs are displayed, the page can get overwhelming or confusing. I also find useful that more than one vmstat/netstat/etc graph is available. What I would like to see is, if a particular graph displayed on the trends page has sibling graphs (i.e. netstat1, netstat2, etc) that an icon would be displayed next to the zoom icon. This icon would link to a page with all of the sibling (netstat*) graphs.

2. On the graph page, offer the option to have the displayed graph data exportable(i.e. user can click a link and download a file with the raw RRD data points). This would also be great on the metrics report too. As to the export formats, I am not sure, possibly csv and xml.

Just some thoughts, thanks again for Hobbit. ~Steve

Hello,

I just recently installed Hobbit and when I click on the trends graph I do not see any labels on any of the graphs. Any suggestions to how I could rectify this issue?

~Mike

Hi Gary,

Thanks for replying. Yes it is the cpu graph, all the other graphs display the same way. Everything compiled with no errors; I'll try to create some test/sample rrd graphs to see if the labels display. If not then I will recompile rrdtool.

From the looks of that graph, I'm guessing it is the CPU Load graph? If you make custom graphs, I know you have to manually set up the rrd definition (in hobbitgraph.cfg) to say how you want the graph to display, but the default ones should be fine. I wonder if there's a problem with the install of the rrdtool package on your machine (though I would think Hobbit wouldn't compile if there was).

I seem to recall running in to this problem myself at one point, though I can't recall what was done to fix it. What version of rrdtool are you running, and what version of Hobbit?

Hi Henrik,

We found why we receive "Internal Server Error" when using this new feature.

We use the NAME tag in bb-hosts and this value is -wrongly- given as param. to the hobbitsvc.cgi.

Here an example with NAME="arwen (ESX Server for Linux)":

<CENTER> <TABLE WIDTH=80% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 SUMMARY="Trends period"> <TR><TD>Trends period</TD></TR> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#333333"> <BR>

    <CENTER>

    <FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh">
       Days: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backdays" SIZE=4 

VALUE="3">   Hours: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backhours" SIZE=4 VALUE="0">   Minutes: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backmins" SIZE=4 VALUE="0">   Seconds: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="backsecs" SIZE=4 VALUE="0">  

       <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="HOST" VALUE="arwen (ESX Server for Linux)">
       <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SERVICE" VALUE="trends">
       <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Go" VALUE="Update" ALT="Update">
    </FORM>

    </CENTER>
    </TD>
   </TR>
</TABLE>

</CENTER>

Could you have a look at this?

Thanks.

Have you tried it without the parentheses?? They can make a shell script do unexpected things...

Yes I did. The thing is the code should use the hostname not what is specified with the NAME tag.
