Hi Guys,
I am aware that Hobbit can monitor and report on Sql Databases. Please if I may ask, can someone who has this working already, please assist me or point me in the direction I can get this implemented on my Hobbit monitor ?
You may want to be more specific on the database in question.
We use dbcheck from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/ to monitor Oracle and MySQL.

I know this has been reported before, but I've gone through all the offered solutions to no avail.
Problem: Hobbit 4.1.2p1 runs smtp checks against several Exchange mail servers. Was working fine until June 6th (when I added RDP service). Since then, get alternating Green (4 mins) then Yellow (< 1 min) on SMTP test.
Yellow status says "Service smtp on xxxxxxxx is not OK : Unexpected service response"
Green status says "Service smtp on xxxxxxxx is OK (up)"
SMTP test always shows as yellow on Hobbit Status pages.
Conn test to same IP as SMTP is always Green.
Telnet to port 25 of SMTP IP from Hobbit command line gives normal Exchange 220 response.
Have tried removing RDP service - no change.
Have tried adding/removing various "send" entries to SMTP test, as per previous information in the Hobbit archives. I have tried with each of the following, and with none - send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" send "rset\r\nquit\r\n" send "ehlo hostname.domainname.com\r\nmailfrom:hobbit (at) server.com\r\nquit\r\n" send "vrfy postmaster\r\nquit\r\n"
all make no difference. NB: I did restart Hobbit between each change & waited 10 minutes.
Without the "send" line, my SMTP entry is as follows: [smtp] expect "220" options banner port 25
The RDP test works fine! [rdp] Port 3389
Does anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately the response I see doing a telnet to the Exchange servers on port 25 is either:
"220 **************************************************************************** **********************************************************"
Or
"220 xxxxxxxx.yyyyy.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.39 59 ready at Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:50:17 +0100"
- both of which start with "220"

You wouldn't happen to have a Cisco PIX/ASA between the hobbit host and the mail server, with it configured to do "fixup"? Those are known for breaking things ;)

As it happens, there are PIXs between the hobbit server & all the Exchange servers. However, they've all been there for ages (years in some cases).
I'll have a chat with our resident Cisco guru & see if he made any changes at our end around 6th June, when things stopped working.

I have also seen this happen when the response is slow from the mail server to show the 220 message. It does show it but is slow for some reason. I create a new service called smtp-slow by adding the following and then configure the bb-hosts entry with 'smtp-slow' instead of smtp. Just a thought.
This way it doesn't require a 220 response but if it gets a valid "connection" it is okay. If it can't open a connection, it goes red. It does limit the amount of app validation but it is the only thing that worked in my case.
[smtp-slow] send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" options banner port 25

Well,
I've (sort of) fixed it - just removed the send & expect lines ...
[smtp] options banner port 25
It gives me a nice line of Green icons, but no banner information (not that I was getting that anyway, since the Yellow problem surfaced).
As I'm going to be installing 4.2 on a new server soon, I'll just live with that & hope it goes away on the new version.

I 've also had this problem. In my case, it arises when the mailserver is to busy ( defeating spam ). I allowed the mail server to start more processes and the problem was gone.
Try to telnet to port 25 of your mail server. If you wait (nearly) for every to see the banner, this is the cause for yellow!
The other cause may be, that the server doesnt like to b hit by an HELO/QUIT before he has sent his banner, as many spammers act like this,
