Thank you, Johann,

I also was able to locate the directory with some part of the client data.

But I was also wondering maybe there should be the stored real time data somewhere at least 5 minutes(client interval),,, or you can't view the real data in the html.....

2007/10/10, Johann Eggers <Johann.Eggers at teleatlas.com>:

Hi,

the hostdata are stored in the data/hostdata/<hostname> directories…

But I think it's only saved if a red condition exists for that host.

Hello,

In the some html outputs of the each test there is a "Client data" link and of course its data with it.....

I would like to implement a customized script to parse all the lines of the "Client data" and send an alert if certain keyword matches. I think it would be nice because you don't have to implement it in all the client sides.....Definitely there are many people who are interested in it ??? And I can't figure out where the data is stored in the hobbit server side.

My question is,,,,Where is the "Client data" stored in the hobbit server side? Please help me with finding it...

sorry,

there are two differt codes because the switch for a small period go up, but no recovery message was sent ... i don't knw why

using a script to notify the recovery message, it's possible to use ACKCODE value? i try to use it but the code sent is -1

any ideas?

M.

Hi all,

i have hobbit 4.2.0 installed,

sometime in my alert mails i see a different ack code, for the same allarm

Hobbit [628202] Switch-2:link CRITICAL (RED)

Hobbit [204765] Switch-2:link CRITICAL (RED)

Someone have the same problem?

We're starting to move to the new IBM P6 environment, so I started looking at backing the 4.3 do_vmstat.c into 4.2.

This pretty well showed I'm not a C programmer.

However -- I added the two additional fields, cpu_ec and cpu_pc to the AIX structure in the 4.2 do_vmstat.c, recompiled, and the result works with the new P6 box. It will also work with new P5 or earlier systems, as the two extra values will just stay at <NAN> in the RRD. For existing older systems, I used 'rrdaddsource' from the RRD web site to add the cpu_pc and cpu_ec datasets to my existing RRD and everything is working just fine.

I did have to change the vmstat_ec and vmstat_pc graph entries -- the 4.3 code is doing a multiply by 100 that doesn't seem to be required. The pc value is actual physical CPU usage and the ec value is percentage of entitlement. In the short list below, this system is using between 0.01 and 0.02 physical CPUs and running between 7 and 17 percent of the entitlement (set at 0.10 CPU)

Thanks for such a GREAT tool!

The AIX Doc on the two fields:

Beginning with AIX 5.3, the vmstat command reports the number of physical processors consumed (pc), and the percentage of entitlement consumed (ec), in Micro-Partitioning environments. These metrics will only be displayed on Micro-Partitioning environments.

pc Number of physical processors consumed. Displayed only if the partition is running with shared processor. ec The percentage of entitled capacity consumed. Displayed only if the partition is running with shared processor. Because the time base over which this data is computed can vary, the entitled capacity percentage can sometimes exceed 100%. This excess is noticeable only with small sampling intervals.

And sample vmstats from my test system:

The AixPower5 is where I ended up, except that I'm not stripping the decimal point in do_vmstat.c. The vmstat_ec values look correct, but the rrd dump shows a value of zero for vmstat_pc instead of the expected 1.00000000e-02.

Time to play around a bit more; I'll add the decimal strip code and see what I get as a result.

Thanks for the pointer to the AIX tips -- I've got an Oracle DBA that will enjoy the memory graphs. I obviously need to spend more time looking around :-)

Take a look at http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/AixPower5 and http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/AixTips if you are running hobbit client on aix.
