Gavin,
I am having a very similar issue - though it is not every single day. My issue is that every host (or almost all of the hosts) will have conn:red and then come back up ~60s later. I just confirmed this weekend that it is not related the Via NIC (Using an Intel Pro/100 S now).
An issue like that is almost always Apache related. Can you post the errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log from this time period?

Hi Josh,
This doesn't relate to the apache error, it relates to your problem... This is a theory...
I am wondering if you are running a caching name server on your hobbit installation? If not, I am wondering if the fping places too high a load on your dns server and misses the occassional host. Even with a caching dns server you may see the issue every time ttl expires.

That was someone's theory in a very large post about this issue in the past. I did install a caching only named on the box and it did not fix the problem.
Did relieve the stress of my other DNS server though :)

What is ttl set to for your domain? It would be interesting to see if the issue reduces with a higher ttl. Another way to ensure this is not the area of the issue would be to set the dns server up as a slave.

Well almost (good 99%) of my hosts have the testip tag, so it doesn't need to look up the names. The things it does look up are 5m TTLs though.

Hmmm... bummer, there goes that theory... If you are using IP addresses, and you are still getting failures on these hosts, then dns is not involved. A ttl of five minutes is fairly worthless for a caching server. It only helps if it hits the same device within five minutes, as hobbit is pinging every five mins (default), you will most likely always be pulling from your master/slaves...

What most people suggest is having a local DNS server, on the Hobbitmon server itself.
As this is happening at the same time every single day I don't believe DNS would be the cause of the issue, though it is worth taking a look at until another idea comes along.

Well almost (good 99%) of my hosts have the testip tag, so it doesn't need to look up the names. The things it does look up are 5m TTLs
though.

That was someone's theory in a very large post about this issue in the past. I did install a caching only named on the box and it did not fix the problem.
Did relieve the stress of my other DNS server though :)

Hi Josh,
This doesn't relate to the apache error, it relates to your problem... This is a theory...
I am wondering if you are running a caching name server on your hobbit installation? If not, I am wondering if the fping places too high a load on your dns server and misses the occassional host. Even with a caching dns server you may see the issue every time ttl expires.

Gavin,
I am having a very similar issue - though it is not every single day. My issue is that every host (or almost all of the hosts) will have conn:red and then come back up ~60s later. I just confirmed this weekend that it is not related the Via NIC (Using an Intel Pro/100 S now).
An issue like that is almost always Apache related. Can you post the errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log from this time period?

Most if not all of my servers are defined by ip anyway, I have a very segmented network so dns is not very helpful across all the different domains and subnets.. i use my hosts file for the most part.. now that I think of it, I wonder if the ones in the host file are still ok? I will let you know...

What most people suggest is having a local DNS server, on the Hobbitmon server itself.
As this is happening at the same time every single day I don't believe DNS would be the cause of the issue, though it is worth taking a look at until another idea comes along.

Hmmm... bummer, there goes that theory... If you are using IPaddresses, and you are still getting failures on these hosts, then dns is not involved. A ttl of five minutes is fairly worthless for a caching server. It only helps if it hits the same device within five minutes, as hobbit is pinging every five mins (default), you will most likely always be pulling from your master/slaves...

Thanks for the heads up. I am very interested in knowing what is the cause and more importantly the solution to your issue, as it may fix mine!
It would VERY nice to be able to print out uptime and availability reports without the dozens of 1 minute outages. I know my issue is related to the box itself (hardware or software) as the issue appears on the hobbit server itself.

Can I suggest you use IP addresses for a number of servers and see if they survive through your next episode. That will give you an idea of where the problem might be...
It is the least amount of work towards identifying the cause.

Hi All,
Having an issue with Hobbit and ffping. When I try to define my hobbitserver.cfg FPING line with FPING="/usr/sbin/fping -c3" my conn test breaks and all hosts go red. I want to be able to do 3 pings to each host to get an average ping time. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
Rafal Roginela

This is probably why it is pissed off =P

Hi Josh,
Yeah I think so too.. but thought that someone might be able to help make it happen...
Thank You,

It sure sounds like your issue is with your dns servers...
There are another couple of things to try...
You can set --dns=ip for bb-testnet This will tell hobbit to use the IP's specified in your bb-hosts file rather than passing it to the OS name resolution libraries.
I would expect you will get the same result as you have now with all IP's defined in /etc/hosts. It would be very interesting to know why this happens the same time every day. Can you describe your network and dns topology? What settings do you have in your soa?
Cheers

After those three mornings would mind commenting those hosts to be certain that reproduces the issue?

Thanks for the heads up. I am very interested in knowing what is the cause and more importantly the solution to your issue, as it may fix mine!
It would VERY nice to be able to print out uptime and availability reports without the dozens of 1 minute outages. I know my issue is related to the box itself (hardware or software) as the issue appears on the hobbit server itself.

Most if not all of my servers are defined by ip anyway, I have a very segmented network so dns is not very helpful across all the different domains and subnets.. i use my hosts file for the most part.. now that I think of it, I wonder if the ones in the host file are still ok? I will let you know…

Can I suggest you use IP addresses for a number of servers and see if they survive through your next episode. That will give you an idea of where the problem might be...
It is the least amount of work towards identifying the cause.

What most people suggest is having a local DNS server, on the Hobbitmon server itself.
As this is happening at the same time every single day I don't believe DNS would be the cause of the issue, though it is worth taking a look at until another idea comes along.

If you are using IPaddresses, and you are still getting failures on these hosts, then dns is not involved. A ttl of five minutes is fairly worthless for a caching server. It only helps if it hits the same device within five minutes, as hobbit is pinging every five mins (default), you will most likely always be pulling from your master/slaves...
