Hello

is there a way to cleanup hostdata and histlogs automaticly?

Lets say delete all files older than half a year or so. May I do that via OS or is there a special Hobbit-way to do it.

Thanks

Thorsten Erdmann Take a look at the trimhistory command. Ok, trimhistory cleans up the histlogs, but not the hostdata. I did the following:

./trimhistory --cutoff=expr \date +%s\` - 31536000` --drop --droplogs

Can I simply delete the old hostdata files?

Thank you Thorsten Erdmann

Hi

I use the hobbit extension script dbcheck.pl for checking my oracle databases. Now for the first time one of my databases gets a tablespace full warning on the undo tablespace. dbcheck.pl says undotablespace is filled up to 99%. But Enterprise Manager says it's only 75%.

Further analysis shows that indeed dba_free_space is up to 99%. As I understand this, it does not make sense to check dba_free_space for undo tablespaces because dba_free_space only shows the free data at the end of a datafile, not the free blocks in the middle of the files (maybe this is also tru with tablespaces containing BLOBs).

So I think it would be more sensefull to ignore undo tablespaces in the tablespace check, therefor dbcheck has the undo-check. How can I filter out all the undo tablespaces without knowing their exact names in general. BTW: in the graph section of the tablespace-checks the undo tablespaces are missing already, why?

Another problem is the MemReq-check. It shows the sum of all errors since the beginning of time. I think this is more a database issue, but how can I clear the counter if I think I have repaired the cause?

Thank you

Hi, On a linux client you I can use hobbitboard. I don't know if bbwin supports hobbitboard.

I use this script to restart devmon on a bbproxy:

#!/bin/sh TEST=/home/bbmon/server/bin/bb IP_of_XYMON "hobbitdboard test=dm color=purple" | grep myhost

if [ -n "$TEST" ]; then PID=cat /var/run/devmon/devmon.pid echo $PID; kill $PID; sleep 30; /usr/local/devmon/devmon xm=1; else xm=0; fi #echo $xm

Are there any way to make XYmon run scripts on clients depending on alerts? I'm monitoring a bunch of services on windows 2003/2008 servers running bbwin, and I would like to run different scripts depending on which service is failing. Instead of just restarting the service, I would like to run a script to take care of the real reason of the failure.

Are there any way to do this with XYmon?

You could write an external script called from BBwin that checks the service status and calls the relevant script when it fails.
