Hi All
I got a old Fedora 8 box that I installed the xymon client on. I used the RHEL packages provided by Buchan Milne(thanks for the local mirror) and installed the xymon client using yum install xymon-client. However when I run the runclient.sh I don't get any results I looked into the /logs directory and found the following error.
Could not connect to bbd at 127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused
The install did not ask me for a BBhost file so I think the install might have skipped this part. How do I change where the client is reporting to? I looked at all the files in the client/etc directory but could not find anything.
Regards Neil
Try compiling it?

No idea where the files are but the default is:
/home/USERNAME/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
BBDISP should be the ip/host of your Xymon server, like so:
BBDISP="1.2.3.4"

As I use perl mostly for interfacing to hobbit for tests, reports etc I have quite a number of perl modules floating around.
Given that CPAN is the easiest way to upload, install manage etc, I have installed the modules there.
I have created a top level Module called Xymon which is simple a place holder.
So far I have uploaded Xymon::Client which provides a perl interface to sending status updates:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Xymon::Client;
my $xymon = Xymon::Client->new(.......);
$xymon->send(.....);
Documentation for this is included on cpan and when you install the module.
The other module I have installed is Xymon::Monitor::Informix which tests connectivity to remote Informix Databases This updates a test called database for servers that run informix databases and lists the status of each database on the status screen.
I have quite a few more to add but I was hoping that anyone else that has perl scripts, May add them there as modules. If help is required I can assist.
Some of the upcoming releases of modules include: Xymon::Server which provides an interface to the various server environment variables + some utility functions such as redrawing the screen. Xymon::Server::History which returns a hash of all events for all or selected servers - I currently use this for generating excel reports. Xymon::Server::Clients which provides an interface to the hobbitclient.cfg file and includes a web interface. Xymon::Server::Alerts which provides an interface hobbit-alerts.cfg
Xymon::Monitor::MSSQL which provides a status test for sql server databases Xymon::Monitor::Oracle which provides a status test for oracle servers Xymon::Monitor::SunContainer which provides a way fo testing Containers running on a Solaris node.
There are a few others that I have but that is enough for now.
BTW we still use a database to store all information about our servers and routers and then use this to generate the bbhosts and include files. This includes a screen under INFO for a host that provides this information within hobbit. Allows us to do advanced searching based on other parameters, using an advanced search web screen within hobbit.
Last time I spoke of the database there seemed to be very little interest in it so it has stayed where it is and hasn't been used anywhere else.
We have applications tied to servers in the database and use it for a web based outages application. When an outage is logged, not only does it send an email to subscribed users with details of the servers and the applications, it also automagically disables that host(s) in hobbit for the period of the outage.

We do that here via the database interface. Eg by owner and location and application.

Sorry, Xymon is not tied to the database in any way other than that the database is used to create the bbhosts file when a change is made. And the info screen for a server contains a link to a web view of the data. Perhaps some diagrams and screenshots were in order.

Agreed most of the work required from a xymon public perspective is design and integration, not coding.
The trick I guess is to get from a working system here to a publicly available group of add-ons.

I think that at quite a few sites a database is used to generate the xymon configuration files, thus using a database for monitoring purposes is perhaps not an such a big issue. In my case, the use of an additional database for monitoring only is not feasible. There is a database, used by many applications, maintained by a lot of people, which I should use for the monitoring application as well. There must be some real benefits in order to justify the (partial) duplication of information and the additional maintenance efforts.

The problem or tangible benefits are to provide an easier way of handling hosts, laying them out in pages by categories such as location, application etc. This becomes a real issue when the number of hosts is large.
The other benefit I see is that it makes hobbit look a lot more professional and enterprise ready if multiple users can change / add / remove hosts without having to rely on an admin with vi to modify the files. Even if the data is coming from other locations such as an asset database, it is usually easier to write a database to database interface. (I am now ducking in order to avoid the incoming flames).
We have 20 or more IT staff who add servers and it is all done through the database interface. Commits to hobbit from the database are made only when one of 3 people go into the database application and verify the changes. This is a trade off between many hands on the bbhosts file and the other side which require the hobbit admins to have to type everything.
I found that even when we had two or three people editing the bbhosts, that I couldn't trust that someone wouldn;t screw the file up.
We never ever touch the bbhosts file now.
We do of course have the benefit of a development hobbit system which allows for easy development of code etc.
I think maybe a seperate project outside of hobbit is the way to go here. Just create a db application and interface to hobbit and then people can choose to use it or not. I just know that I am being continually harassed by the helpdesk manager because in his view the helpdesk application can do all of this (which I know is not true). It is just easy for him at the moment to run down hobbit in front of the IT Director because he calls it a toy cmpared to apps with db frontends.

Indeed, and that is what we are doing too. The nett result is that the configuration is as complete and as correct as the database is and that the configuration stays consistent.
The other benefit I see is that it makes hobbit look a lot more professional and enterprise ready if multiple users can change / add / remove hosts without having to rely on an admin with vi to modify the files. Even if the data is coming from other locations such as an asset database, it is usually easier to write a database to database interface. (I am now ducking in order to avoid the incoming flames). True. As our database does not contain all the required information to regenerate bb-hosts completely, I consider bb-hosts to be a database too (see http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/addons:xymonconfigsync). This means that changes in the tests of a host (yes, using vi) will survive if a new version of bb-hosts is generated.
We have 20 or more IT staff who add servers and it is all done through the database interface. Commits to hobbit from the database are made only when one of 3 people go into the database application and verify the changes. This is a trade off between many hands on the bbhosts file and the other side which require the hobbit admins to have to type everything.
I found that even when we had two or three people editing the bbhosts, that I couldn't trust that someone wouldn;t screw the file up.
We never ever touch the bbhosts file now. It is almost the same here. I do edit bb-hosts occasionally, but it has been changed this year about 700 times by a script. A benefit can be described as "power to the administrator": if an administrator modifies information about the equipment or services, it will be reflected in xymon within half an hour.
Given this situation, the benefits you mention are already realized, at least for a major part. That makes it a bit difficult to make a sort of business case for yet another database and yet another GUI to maintain.
I think maybe a seperate project outside of hobbit is the way to go here. Just create a db application and interface to hobbit and then people can choose to use it or not. I just know that I am being continually harassed by the helpdesk manager because in his view the helpdesk application can do all of this (which I know is not true).

Hi All
I got a old Fedora 8 box that I installed the xymon client on. I used the RHEL packages provided by Buchan Milne(thanks for the local mirror) and installed the xymon client using yum install xymon-client. However when I run the runclient.sh I don't get any results I looked into the /logs directory and found the following error.
Could not connect to bbd at 127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused
The install did not ask me for a BBhost file so I think the install might have skipped this part. How do I change where the client is reporting to? I looked at all the files in the client/etc directory but could not find anything.
You are probably looking for /etc/default/hobbit-client to configure the address of the server.
If that's not it, go from first principles - either check what is in /etc/init.d/hobbit-client (or xymon-client) or list the installed files. On my system I get:
rpm -ql hobbit-client
/etc/default/hobbit-client /etc/init.d/hobbit-client /usr/lib/hobbit/client /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bb /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbcmd /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbdigest /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostgrep /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostshow /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/clientupdate /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-darwin.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-freebsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-irix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-netbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-openbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sco_sv.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/logfetch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/msgcache /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/orcahobbit /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext /usr/lib/hobbit/client/logs /usr/lib/hobbit/client/runclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3 /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/COPYING /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/CREDITS /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/Changes /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README.CLIENT /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/RELEASENOTES /var/log/hobbit

Neil,
Hi All
I got a old Fedora 8 box that I installed the xymon client on. I used the RHEL packages provided by Buchan Milne(thanks for the local mirror) and installed the xymon client using yum install xymon-client. However when I run the runclient.sh I don't get any results I looked into the /logs directory and found the following error.
Could not connect to bbd at 127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused
The install did not ask me for a BBhost file so I think the install might have skipped this part. How do I change where the client is reporting to? I looked at all the files in the client/etc directory but could not find anything.
You are probably looking for /etc/default/hobbit-client to configure the address of the server.
If that's not it, go from first principles - either check what is in /etc/init.d/hobbit-client (or xymon-client) or list the installed files. On my system I get:
rpm -ql hobbit-client
/etc/default/hobbit-client /etc/init.d/hobbit-client /usr/lib/hobbit/client /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bb /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbcmd /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbdigest /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostgrep /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bbhostshow /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/clientupdate /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-darwin.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-freebsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-irix.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-netbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-openbsd.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sco_sv.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-sunos.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/logfetch /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/msgcache /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/orcahobbit /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext /usr/lib/hobbit/client/logs /usr/lib/hobbit/client/runclient.sh /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3 /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/COPYING /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/CREDITS /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/Changes /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/README.CLIENT /usr/share/doc/hobbit-client-4.2.3/RELEASENOTES /var/log/hobbit
