Hello all, I am searching for folks that are successfully monitoring aVMware ESX3 host with either the hobbit client or BB client? I am inthe unfortunate situation of not having a test environment to test withand would appreciate getting a head start on others exeprience. Anyspecific RPM for hobbit that is known to work on the ESX3 host, detailson dependency packages that were required would be most welcome.Thanks-Aaron

I would be willing to assist. But first I need to get Hobbit working. I am going through the mailing list to try and figure out why none of the buttons work. I compiled my fist copy of Hobbit last week I keep getting "Internal server error" on any link within hobbit

I've started looking at it from an SNMP perspective. The problem that I've come across is tying the detail info for virtual machines (CPU Utilization, Network stuff) back to a virtual machine.

I just went through the same issue. Check your linux security settings.
Do a getenforce command and see if it's says "enforcing" which means
SElinux is enabled. If it does, put selinux=0 at the end of the kernel
line in your grub.conf. Then reboot.

Most of those who have problems on Solaris is because the shared libraries used by Hobbit are in /usr/local/lib, which is not searched by default by the dynamic linker.
Try adding
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
at the top of your hobbitcgi.cfg file, or use the "crle" utility to include /usr/local/lib in your system's default library path.
Regards, Henrik
Great,! that's about the only place I did not put the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I have the headings no but not the green, read, white, etc .. buttons. I still get internal server error

Our ESX3 servers run a client compiled on RHEL3. The user running Hobbit has to be authorized -sudo- to use "esxtop" and "vdf" utilities. The sections [uptime], [df] and [top] in hobbitclient-linux.sh are modified like this:
... ...
VMware ESX3 support
vmnix=uname -r | grep "vmnix"
...
...
echo "[uptime]"
if [ $vmnix ]; then
# "uptime" only reports about the ESX console load.
# Use "esxtop" to report the total load.
echo uptime | cut -d: -f1-4: sudo esxtop -n 1 -b | head -2 | tail -1 | awk -F\, '{print $5 " " $6 " " $7}' | awk -F\" '{print $2", "$4", "$6}'
else
uptime
fi
echo "[who]"
who
echo "[df]"
if [ $vmnix ]; then
# Use "vdf" to report about vmfs file systems
sudo /usr/sbin/vdf -P | egrep -v
"\/vmfs\/devices|none|tmpfs|shmfs|unknown|iso9660"
else
df -Pl -x none -x tmpfs -x shmfs -x unknown -x iso9660 | sed -e '/^[^
][^ ]*$/{
N
s/[ ]*\n[ ]*/ /
}'
fi
...
...
$TOP must be set, the install utility should do that for us if it exists.
if test "$TOP" != "" then if test -x "$TOP" then echo "[top]" if [ ! $vmnix ]; then # Do not use top on ESX3 (only reports about the console) $TOP -b -n 1 fi fi fi
