Henrik,

Thanks for Hobbit!

Just tried to do a clean build of the latest snapshot and got this (I've just included the last part of the make output)

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -D_REENTRANT -DLINUX -I. -I/usr/local/src/hobbit/snapshot/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -c -o do_rrd.o do_rrd.c In file included from do_rrd.c:224: rrd/do_vmstat.c: In function do_vmstat_rrd': rrd/do_vmstat.c:275: error: vmstat_linux22_layout' undeclared (first use in this function) rrd/do_vmstat.c:275: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rrd/do_vmstat.c:275: error: for each function it appears in.) rrd/do_vmstat.c:279: error: vmstat_rhel3_layout' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [do_rrd.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/local/src/hobbit/snapshot/hobbitd' make: *** [hobbitd-build] Error 2

Previous snapshots have been OK upto now.

Just though I'd pass this on...

Cheers,

Hello Henrik!

I have some suggestions for the next hobbit release:

• reports from hosts which are not known by the server should appear in the error report of the hobbitd. That would make it easier to find misconfiguration especially with the hostname the client sends.

You can already do that - in your hobbitserver.cfg, change BBGHOSTS:

BBGHOSTS="1" # How to handle status messages from unknown hosts. # 0=accept message, 1=discard message, # 2=discard message and log the event

Set it to "2", and the "hobbitd" column will list the hostnames and IP's of all hosts whose messages were discarded.

• Succesfully sent messages should be logged to ensure that the client works correctly. It would be enough to log the last sent message for having a static small size of the logfile

Do you mean "logged on the client host", or "logged on the Hobbit server" ? And the entire message, or just that it was sent ? Big difference ...

On clients, the latest message is in ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt . On the Hobbit server, I do not want to log incoming messages for performance reasons.

• Bugfix: The Linux client does not stop the vmstat-process by stopping hobbitclient.

Right ... the vmstat is started as with "nohup" to let it run independently of all the other client tasks (it's the only one that takes a long time). So this is a bit harder to do than it seems - hobbitlaunch which is the only other job running doesn't know the process-id of the vmstat process.
