I'd like to monitor the number of dns queries hitting my external DNS servers. there is a bb script that supposedly does this - bb-dns-load, but I'd like to know if anyone has got it working with the hobbit client.

Hi,
I use the dnsload script with hobbit.
Here's a crontab entry :
*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/hobbit/client/ext/bbdl-roll.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
I also modified bbdl-roll to change the location of tmp files, because ext/ didn't look good to me :
in bbdl-roll.sh :
BB_EXT=/usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp
in bbdl-stats.sh, replace all "$BBHOME/ext" with "$BBHOME/tmp".
Wait a few cycles so the statistics initialize, and then add bbdl-stats to clientlaunch.cfg.
For the server-side grapher, I use :
NCV_dnsload="Queryrate:GAUGE,*:NONE"
[dnsload] DEF:q=dnsload.rrd:Queryrate:AVERAGE TITLE DNS queries rate YAXIS queries/second -l 0 AREA:q#00ff00:queries/sec GPRINT:q:LAST:%3.0lf GPRINT:q:MAX:max\: %3.0lf GPRINT:q:MIN:min\:%3.0lf GPRINT:q:AVERAGE:avg\:%3.0lf

I added this to my hobbitgraph.d directory, but I don't see any graphs. I did add both "dnsload" and "NCV_dnsload" to the graph variable in hobbitserver.cfg, but still no graphs. Where should I look to figure out what I am doing wrong?

Did you add "dnsload=ncv" to the TESTS2RRD variable ?
You have to restart hobbitd_rrd too (on Linux I do "kill pidof hobbitd_rrd" instead of restarting the whole hobbit).

No, I hadn't.
But I don't believe my copy of bb-dns-load is configured the same way.
The attribute lines read:
Current DNS query rate is: 4/sec Sample: 1266 queries in 300 seconds ending at Fri Dec 29 10:00:20 CST 2006 Thresholds: Red = 100/sec Yellow = 75/sec
And the service name is "dl".
I'll try to read up on it next week, but it looks like I still have a lot of work to integrate this.

pidof hobbitd_rrd" instead of restarting the whole hobbit).
I had to restart it all, because hobbitfetch had hit it's race condition again. That's one thing that is really giving me fits.

Is there a way to set up my sms alert to show the name of the filesystem that is full or the name of the process that is down?

Or more generally, how and where are the alerts customized? I'm not certain where to start looking in the code so that I can write a custom alert template. In my case, I want to know the temperature when one of my temperature probes goes "red".

Look at the http://yourhobbitserver/hobbit/help/hobbit-alerts.html document. Probably down near the " If e-mail is not enough" section, explains it all right there.
