I complete lost my hobbit server for a day. Is there any work done on setting up fail over servers?
I got my server back and backed up all my custom and config files so I can now reproduce my setup.
But a true fail over server is needed.
The simplest solution: Setup a server identical to your Hobbit server,
and rsync the server/etc/ and data/{hist,rrd,tmp} periodically from
your main server. If the main server dies, start Hobbit on the spare
box.
Next I just added 87 clients as a test. I may want to remove them. Yes I CAN write a script to do the drop and
Im not worried about editing the bb-host file, but maybe the the enable/disable gui could be extended to include
a drop feature or a separate GUI? Im not one for GUIs but others will be admining this too.
It's a "nice to have" thing. Not difficult, just need a day or two to
implement it.
Disk test be nice all three number could be put in a graph:
$ /usr/bin/df -Pk
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol4 19532 5183 14349 27% /home00
The "used" and "Capacity" columns are currently tracked. Do you want to
track the "Available" count also ? It *can* be done by a bit of math
in the graph definition.
Some one ask about having required fs , what the status on this.
It's in 4.1.2.
There is an old unix program out there called Watcher. One nice feature was it alerted you to large changes.
Like a FS grew or decreased by 5% or 1G . (Or decreased by 100% ;rm -rf *!!
Could be useful, but I'll leave that for later.
How about move or duplicating the tip:
What do the little red/yellow/green icons mean ?
on the web page in the head or footer ?
Took me a while to find it. These are a BIG selling point for hobbit; visual impaired and color blind people are
provided for! Big issue for large corps!
I prefer to keep the pages as clean as possible, but feel free to customize the templates any way you like :-)
