If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.

As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that directory is populated. In my experience I never have that wait as I wait between every step to accomplish something else.

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit. Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc directory looking for anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check the scripts in bin.

Thanks, Larry Barber

If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.

As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that directory is populated. In my experience I never have that wait as I wait between every step to accomplish something else.

Here's what I did, I checked /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file and there I saw the following error message repeating over and over:

bbgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg, and then restart Hobbit.

Which fixed my issue.

But I have another question: When I click on the status icons. I get the following error. Is this normal?

If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.

As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that directory is populated. In my experience I never have that wait as I wait between every step to accomplish something else.

Does he need to?? He already fixed the error in bb-display.log by adding:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg. Shouldn't that also fix the cgi error?? bb-hostsvc.cgi pulls in

/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

which in turn does this:

hobbitsvc.cgi options for a normal (current) status display

CGI_SVC_OPTS="--env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg --no-svcid --histor y=top"

so the cgi ought to pick up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Or does Apache need to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH in *its* startup script so that the cgi gets it??

bbgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg, and then restart Hobbit.

Which fixed my issue.

But I have another question:

When I click on the status icons. I get the following error. Is this normal?

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit.

Note when I did a grep server\/www * in the server/etc/ directory I only got the hobbit-apache.conf. My output is definitely in server/www.

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit. Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc directory looking for anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check the scripts in bin.

Thanks, Larry Barber

Apache is fine in this case. For whatever reason Xymon isn't outputting html content in server/www

I grep'ed through my config and I don't see where that is configurable. It may be compiled in for all I know. Would you have the capability to recompile the source?

OK guys, thanks a lot in helping me bringing up the Hobbit server up on my Linux (Ubuntu) machine. Now I am on step two. I need to install the Hobbit client on my AIX machines. From where and how can install the Hobbit AIX client.

Should I download the source from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058 and then compile it on my AIX servers? Is there a better and faster approach doing this? Or go to http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/DownLoads

Thanks, Stef.

I downloaded the tar ball and extracted it on the AIX client in /opt/hobbit. I then started hobbit client with no issues. Now am I all done or I still need to do more? How will I get disk/cpu/memory and other stats sent from the Hobbit AIX client to the Hobbit Server? Please advice. Sorry, if my questions are really basic. Check out the config files in etc. Have you specified your hobbit server in it ? And if you do, make sure the AIX hostname is specified in the bb-hosts files. You can also check the logfiles in the directory log.

Stef

On the AIX client, I updated the file hobbitclient.cfg and put the IP address of the hobbit server in the line:

BBDISP="X.X.X.X"

I also updated the bb-hosts file on the Hobbit Server and added the IP address and hostname of the AIX hobbit client. Is there anything else that I should update?

Also, on which port does hobbit communicate through? Is it 1984? Is there any other ports?

Thanks,

Hi,

You have only the hobbitclient.cfg to update (BBDISP) and the bb-host on the Hobbit server.

I've got this in the bb-host : X.X.X.X Hostname # bb-lvm TRENDS:*vmstat:vmstat1|vmstat8|vmstat-avm|vmstat-free-list

(You have to add bb-lvm extension in the client, and add vmstat graphs in the Hobbit server)

Look at your logs in the client,

Sam

The server machine should run both the server processes and the client processes. The client processes reports to the server just as another machine would.

The server machine should run both the server processes and the client processes. The client processes reports to the server just as another machine would.

Hello all,

I'm still in the process of setting up hobbit Server. I have hobbit server running on a Ubuntu Linux machine.

I have purple status for (the server) cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, and procs. It's a square with waves. How can I get rid of the purple status. I null'ed the files in ~/data/hist but the status won't turn to green. What do I do to fix it?

Which Hobbit release did you install? It appears that the client is not running.

Go to the client directory and issue:

If the ping (conn) check fails ... all other checks on that host automatically go into basically a null status and they will not alert by default. Only if you have a host that is NOT monitored by ping, do you need to worry about putting in "depends" checks.

I thought I had seen somewhere in the MAN pages about the ability to set hosts so that if it is not responding to ping then all of the other monitored services should not also send an alert because they are dependent on the ping working.

If one of my machines goes offline because someone turns it off I don't want the other services to also send me e-mails of their failure or purple status. How do I set alerting that if the connection is lost the other services won't alert also.

Any ideas?

You have to install GNU Make, but I was able to install the Hobbit / Xymon base 4.2.0 client pretty easily after that on AIX 5.2 and 5.3.

OK guys, thanks a lot in helping me bringing up the Hobbit server up on my Linux (Ubuntu) machine. Now I am on step two. I need to install the Hobbit client on my AIX machines. From where and how can install the Hobbit AIX client.

Should I download the source from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128058 and then compile it on my AIX servers? Is there a better and faster approach doing this?

This stuff is kind of above my head to be honest. If the log is saying it can't get the library there has to be an issue with the library itself or where it is located, though.

Here's what I did, I checked /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log file and there I saw the following error message repeating over and over:

bbgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to hobbitserver.cfg, and then restart Hobbit.

Which fixed my issue.

But I have another question:

When I click on the status icons. I get the following error. Is this normal?

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster at localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit, I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit. Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc directory looking for anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check the scripts in bin.

Jim is correct. Whoever your apache is running as needs to have its LD_LIBRARY_PATH updated to include /usr/local/lib and the web server restarted.

Did google on this error, and found that I needed to add:

Which fixed my issue.

If the processes are running and you're not filling that directory with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing.

As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that directory is populated. In my experience I never have that wait as I wait between every step to accomplish something else.

Hosch, Katherine CONT (SSC LANT) said the following, On 11/18/2008 01:10 PM:

You need to change the system library run path so it looks in /usr/local/lib. If this was solaris you would do it like this:

crle -l /usr/lib:/usr/secure/lib:/usr/local/lib

Or compile it with -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib (assuming that is where libcpre is).

Sadly, I don't know how to do this in Linux.

Usually /etc/ld.so.conf and some distro have /etc/ld.so.conf.d where you can add a file that contains /usr/local/lib. Then run ldconfig to rebuild the /etc/ld.so.cache.

Alternatively, you might be able to recompile hobbit with a configure flag telling it where the pcre library is.

This is the best way.

Hobbit Installation Issue

  				If the processes are

running and you're not filling that directory with index/bb/bb2.html files then you probably have the output directory set to another directory then where that Alias (or Vhost) is pointing. As was mentioned you do have to wait a good minute or two before that directory is populated. In my experience I never have that wait as I wait between every step to accomplish something else.

Hello everyone,

For the first time, I am trying to install Hobbit on my Ubuntu Linux Server. I followed the installation instructions provided on http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/

Every step went fine but when I started hobbit and typed in the hobbit address [ http://server-ip/hobbit/ ] in the browser, instead of getting the main page, I get the directory structure (see below)? What am I missing here?

Please assist. Thank you!
