[hobbit] "ports" RRD graph not showing up
I'm running Hobbit 4.2.0 and just added a PORTS section for one of my hosts. It looks like the server is checking the ports correctly, but the RRD graph isn't showing up, even with the TRACK statement.
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]4001$ STATE=LISTEN HOST=<hostname>
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]5001$ STATE=LISTEN HOST=<hostname>
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]5002$ STATE=LISTEN HOST=<hostname>
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]4001$ STATE=ESTABLISHED TRACK=4001 HOST=<hostname>
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]5001$ STATE=ESTABLISHED TRACK=5001 HOST=<hostname>
PORT LOCAL=%[.:]5002$ STATE=ESTABLISHED TRACK=5002 HOST=<hostname>I don't see anything of interest in the client or server logs. Any ideas?
I don't think there is a "HOST=" tag for the PORT command. Maybe you meant "TEXT="?
If you are trying to restrict the count to certain hosts, then you have to add their IP to the LOCAL=<regex> (or REMOTE=<regex> portion of the PORT command.

The section those tests are under is for a regex of multiple hosts. The "HOST=" tag in the copy/paste I provided is to test for those ports on only one host.

I don't use HOST= in my working PORT tracking. I agree with Greg on doing it via the RegExp itself.
The problem with that is, it will perform the PORT test on all of the machines under the HOST= section the test is under. I don't want this, as only one of the machines actually has the ports running. I haven't had a problem using HOST= in this manner before, and it's described in the "rules to select hosts" section in the manpage for hobbit-clients.cfg
minor thing: not so sure TRACK= can take all numeric or not. I believe your RegExp needs (). Mine goes like below. I have PORT column show and alerts generated, plus RRD graph for counting of TIME_WAIT connections to PORT LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$ STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=10000 COL=yellow TRACK=db_TimeWait TEXT=db_TimeWait
I was wondering that myself. I'll try changing to TRACK= to be character-based and see if that helps.
oh, you are using it under a wild-card (or multi-host) HOST= section thus you want to limit the test to apply to that HOST alone. makes sense then. I think the missing () is somewhat important too. If I recall correctly, I didn't have much sucess until I inserted () myself.

Yes, I've waited enough cycles, but the graph still isn't showing up. Meanwhile, several other changes I've made have shown up.
Yes, the RRD files have actually been generated. They just don't want to show up on the "ports" page for this host... It's time for lunch, so I'll check when I get back - maybe it'll work if I don't stare at it, like that pot of boiling water ;-)

From network speed point of view, what kind of ping response time is not suitable for hobbit client/server deployment ?
I have one overea site that answer ping test steady at 300ms.
Does anyone have experience on deploying hobbit across WANs over country ?
I know using proxy is an alerternative but what about direct report over a pipe with 300ms ping time ?
T.J. Yang
Should work. Check the ping timeout and retry value.

Following is an example borrow from ebay.
I can navigate different categories easily under powersports by clicking "PowerSports"
Listed in category: eBay Motors > Powersports > Scooters & Mopeds > Honda
Is it possible that bbgen can generate URLs at top menu like above "PowerSports" line ? so page,subpage,subagent tags in bb-hosts file can form a direct link from any pages on hobbit server.

Its pretty easy to put something like this in to the menuing system that is included with hobbit. You just have to modify the server/www/menu/menu_items.js file. Here's a sample from mine:
var MENU_ITEMS = [ ['Views', null, null, ['Main view', '/hobbit/bb.html', null, ['APHIS', '/hobbit/APHIS', null, ['AQAS', '/hobbit/APHIS/AQAS'], ['ALBES', '/hobbit/APHIS/ALBES'], ['EPermits', '/hobbit/APHIS/EPERMITS'], ['NAIS', '/hobbit/APHIS/NAIS'], ['PCIT', '/hobbit/APHIS/PCIT'], ], ['CEE', '/hobbit/CEE'], ['CENS', '/hobbit/CENS'], ['CMITS', '/hobbit/CMITS'], ['CPAIS', '/hobbit/CPAIS'], ['Dept. of Labor', '/hobbit/DOL'], ['Environment', '/hobbit/ENV'], ['ESS', '/hobbit/ESS', null, ['Active Directory', '/hobbit/ESS/ACT_DIR'], ['AMS', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS',null, ['PreProduction', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS/AMS_PREPROD'], ['Production', '/hobbit/ESS/AMS/AMS_PROD'], .... and on and on for a few hundred lines.

Larry Again, thanks for the pointer. I implemented your suggestion on my test server with lots of manually editing.
That bring me to my original request. I think above process should be automated by parsing bb-hosts file and insert the links onto each page instead of Tigra menu_items.js file.

This patch will build the menu-entry definitions automatically. It won't update your menu_items.js file, but since it only needs changing when new pages/subpages are added, I guess that can be done manually.
To use it, run bbgen with the "--menufile=/tmp/menu.inc" option (use any filename you like), and bbgen will then dump the menu-items for the tree structure of the webpages. Edit your menu_items.js file and include the generated menu entries into the main file.

Hi, Henrik Thanks for the quick response to answer my request. This patch is a good short term solution. but it still requrire menual editing.
Can you modify your dump_page_tree subroutine to render the menu tree onto every html page ? So there is no menual editing needed.
The consumers(uers,mangagers) will have easy time to browse (not search as you have it already) and understand the servers/client machines their group and other groups have.
Using tigra javascript to get a group/server is good solution but the one below is the best(IMHO).

Currently most of hosts are ping test only. I can put more hosts on this hobbit server. 822 hosts is taking 42 seconds.
Answer I don't know is how many more hosts it can handle ?
How can I find what hosts are causing DNS lookup failures ?
Thanks for your time

Some simple math shows that you could probably go to about 4000 hosts comfortably (with a 5 minutes test cycle time). Of course, there may be other factors to consider when you go that high, so YMMV.
I would also consider the fact that as hobbitping improves those ping times will come down.

I would also consider the fact that as hobbitping improves those ping times will come down.
I think it is possible to come up with a formula(algorithm) to predict maximum capacity by dervinng factors like ping, cpu load,disk space of a hobbit server.
lets leave it as a hobbit challenge for now.
Thanks for your comment.

Answer I don't know is how many more hosts it can handle ?
A lot. Network tests are one thing; you can tweak the hobbitping or fping options to speed them up, and/or play with the concurrency and timeout settings for the bbtest-net tool. Which of these you use depends on your mix of tests.
How can I find what hosts are causing DNS lookup failures ?
See the bbtest-net man-page:
--dnslog=FILENAME
Log failed hostname lookups to the file FILENAME.
FILENAME should be a full pathname.Regards, Henrik

Getting reports from clients will work, no problem.
Running network tests across the WAN link may not be a good idea, since you're more like to hit timeouts and sporadic ping failures with such high latency. So it would probably be a good idea if you could setup a network test probe at the remote end of you WAN connection. It can still report to the central Hobbit server. Of course, if you want to monitor the availability of services accessed across the WAN link, then running your network tests across the WAN does make sense.

Oh yeah... That makes sense... I upgraded from an earlier version of Hobbit on the server that didn't support the new PORTS monitoring tests. So, hobbitserver.cfg didn't include the appropriate entries for TEST2RRD and GRAPHS... I added that, and what do you know, it's working now ;-)

no, I didn't change anything other than add the PORT under a HOST= inside hobbit-clients.cfg.
- Could you copy+paste your PORT line here? I got the impression Hobbit Monitor is not fault-tolerant regarding the ordering of the directives on some tests.
- Or, could you try it without HOST wildcard, under a HOST=oneServerHere, with your own PORT or mine?
- as you can see, I am running out of ideas, since mine simply worked, with PORT under a simple HOST= (non-wildcarded)

If you are trying to restrict the test to a specific host, why don't you put the PROC command under its own HOST=whatever section?

It takes up one less line in the config file ;-) The main reason is, all the other HOST= tags I've used worked fine, so I don't have to create a separate HOST= section for only one or two tests that are specific to that one host, and I can use the regex HOST= section for all of the machines at once.
I don't think the inclusion of the HOST= tag is the problem anyway. But, if all else fails, I'll try it on its own, just for grins.

I have PORT column show and alerts generated, plus RRD graph for counting of TIME_WAIT connections to PORT LOCAL=%([.:]3306)$ STATE=TIME_WAIT MIN=0 MAX=10000 COL=yellow TRACK=db_TimeWait TEXT=db_TimeWait
I was wondering that myself. I'll try changing to TRACK= to be character-based and see if that helps.
