bbtest shows long DNS runtime, why
Hi
I am running hobbit against 40 clients. Two of these clients are our DNS servers. Only on these two clients I have enabled the DNS test by adding the DNS keyword to their bb-hosts line. I wanted to check the function of the DNS servers
If I look at the statistics of bbtest it looks like this:

www.google.com 208.69.36.230 # <-- this will lookup www.google.com and ping the IP, if it can't find an A record for it then it will use the IP as a backup
www.google.com 208.69.36.230 # testip <--- this will use the hostname for display purposes, no dns lookup and skip to using the IP for the conn test
I have the same triangular graphs on hotspot networks with multiple APs. This is normal, as far as I can tell.
Adding 400 hosts and 400 dns queries shouldn't cause too much of a load, though, if you're worried about the DNS queries taking out the DNS servers then just tack "testip" to the end of them. The conn/ping test is awfully efficient, assuming you're using fping.
Are you using fping or hobbitping?

Thank you for the very quick answer! The testip tag did the trick. Now I again have a near-zero-line for the bbtest runtime.

Add the "testip" flag to each host and Hobbit will not try to resolve the name.
When you add the "dns" flag, Hobbit will test the DNS server on that host.
You might also keep in mind that DNS results are usually cached by the resolver on each machine until they expire, and this happens at an operating system level. However, Hobbit uses a specific DNS support package (perhaps to make the code more portable) -- I have seen it hang when the DNS servers are not exactly correct, so using "testip" is a good defence mechanism.

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm trying to install hobbit snapshot on the latest version of Ubuntu LTS. I'm new to Linux and am usually a windows guy so the switch hasn't been that easy but I'm making headway. When I try to do the ./configure in the directory I get to the "Checking for RRDtool and it come ups that RRDtool include or library-files not found. Once I got that I installed RRDtool 1.2.27-2 from the Ubuntu Patches site. I have also installed libldap2 2.1.30-13 from the same place.
Any help is much appreciated. I'm trying to get this going and i've been on it for 3 days now and it's starting to make me mad and I want to beat it!

I'm new to Ubuntu, but if it's close to linux, you should search for the librrd-dev or librrd2-dev. those are required if you'd like to compile code that require rrd includes.
it's the same for ldap, search for libldap-dev or libldap2-dev. hope this'll help.

I just gave it the defaults. "Stupid User trick" right? I'm not that familiar with Linux or Apache and just took all the defaults.
I did see that error which is what prompted this help email.

Ok, check to see what user Apache is running as. Issue the command:
ps -ef | grep http
You should see something like this:
wwwrun 17153 1097 0 Sep14 ? 00:00:06 /usr/sbin/httpd2-prefork -f /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
The first column (wwwrun in my case) is the user that the web server is running under. Then enter:
groups wwwrun
But substitute your first column for wwwrun, you will get something like this:
wwwrun : www
www is the group name that the web server is running under. That should be the response to the question 'What group is your web server running under?' (or how ever it's phrased).

You can also add a runtime option to do testip globally, so that you don't have to add it to each host.
Hubbard, Greg L wrote:
Add the "testip" flag to each host and Hobbit will not try to resolve the name.
When you add the "dns" flag, Hobbit will test the DNS server on that host.
You might also keep in mind that DNS results are usually cached by the resolver on each machine until they expire, and this happens at an operating system level. However, Hobbit uses a specific DNS support package (perhaps to make the code more portable) -- I have seen it hang when the DNS servers are not exactly correct, so using "testip" is a good defence mechanism.

What you see are two mystic things:
It seems that hobbit resolves all clients via DNS: =20
hostnames resolved : 40
Why that, I gave all names and it's corresponding IPs at the bb-hosts=20 file?
The IP's in the bb-hosts file are mostly there for backward compatibility with Big Brother. Hobbit will do a DNS lookup to determine the IP-address, and only if this fails will it fall back to using the IP listed in bb-hosts.
If you want to skip the DNS lookup, add a "testip" to the host lines in bb-hosts, or a "--dns=ip" option to the bbtest-net command in hobbitlaunch.cfg.
I want to add about 400 network switches which should only do a ping test=20 and I fear that this would extremely increase the runtime of the bbtest. What can I do to decrease the runtime?
Drop the DNS lookups of all hosts (see above), or run a local caching DNS server on the Hobbit server. Hobbit does send a lot of DNS requests very quickly, and I know from personal experience that some DNS servers have problems with this.
