Fixed it!!

Found the client was being started with the "--local" option and hence using the ~hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg" file for the limits - not the servers.

Doh!

I have an situation where one of my Linux client servers has a 99% filesystem that I want to ignore (/iscsi) but I cannot get Hobbit(version 4.2-beta-20060605) to do so!!

The alert is :

/iscsi (99% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/sdc1 197131940 184823364 2294864 99% /iscsi

In the hobbit-clients.cfg, I have the following lines:

HOST=ld-sybase01.endeavour-capital.com,ld-sybase01 MEMSWAP 101 101 DISK /iscsi 101 101

Running this command ../bin/bbcmd hobbitd_client --dump-config | fgrep ld-sybase gives me the following.

2006-08-10 12:21:57 Using default environment file /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg MEMSWAP 101 101 HOST=ld-sybase01.endeavour-capital.com,ld-sybase01 (line: 403) DISK /iscsi 101% 101% 0 -1 red HOST=ld-sybase01.endeavour-capital.com,ld-sybase01 (line: 404)

But it doesn't ignore it !!!!!

Running the same command with the "--test" option fails. With core dump (does this will all servers) 2006-08-10 12:23:07 Using default environment file /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: ld-sybase01 Hosttype (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: server Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): cpu Load: Yellow at 7.00, red at 10.00 Uptime: From boot until 5m ,and after uptime Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [ld-sybase01]: Hosttype (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [server]: server Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk Filesystem: /iscsi Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

Running the gdb command on the core file as per the "Known issues" page yields this:

#0 0x0001def8 in get_disk_thresholds (hinfo=0x4e548, classname=0x0, fsname=0xffbfcfe0 "/iscsi", warnlevel=0xffbfcbac, paniclevel=0xffbfcba8, abswarn=0xffbfcba4, abspanic=0xffbfcbb0, group=0x0) at client_config.c:1240 #1 0x00019628 in testmode (configfn=0x0) at hobbitd_client.c:1312 #2 0x0001a5f0 in main (argc=-8192, argv=0x2a800) at hobbitd_client.c:1509

How can I debug this?

Thanks,

Quentin
