Fyi you can look at the bbtest report of the hobbit server and see where the time is spent for the tests.

Well after a few days I found the problem (I'm a bit new on hobbit yet), I set a -debug option in [bbnet] in the hobbitlaunch.cfg:

[bbnet]

    ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

    NEEDS hobbitd

    CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --report --debug

    LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log

And I checked the logs for something, and there was 30 seconds of DNS timeout trying to resolve a hostname, that it wasn't on the dns. 30 seconds is the default timeout for DNS resolution.

I changed the dns timeout to 2 seconds and now is working like a charm :D

Hi, I was looking for information about this issue but, apparently there is not :-(

I'm running hobbit 4.2 using hobbitping poll 12 hosts.

Some of those hosts are behind a 2Mbps link, and almost all the time that link is 3% busy. The rest of the hosts are in the same LAN as the hobbit server.

I need to poll 12 hosts within 20 seconds intervals, but it take 30 seconds the complete process. I read that hobbitping is fastest than fping, and there is some Fping examples that show that 12 hosts would be ping in 20 seconds without any problem.

I have changed the bbnet interval in the hobbitlaunch.cfg to 20 (or less, just to try) but here is what the log shows (/var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log):

If any have any recommendation, or work around, how I can poll this hosts with 20 seconds interval, would be welcome! :D

Thanks in advance!!

Regards

Javier
