SUMMARY: BBWin load question (RESOLVED but is this a bug)

Thanks to John for pointing out that the bug was in my eyes. 

Solution was to be sure that the DEFAULT section of the hobbit-client.cfg
has to be at the end of the file.

I have look at the documentation may time and I had never seen the lines
that DEFAULT has to be at the end.

You should have DEFAULT section last. HOST entries should be defined
before DEFAULT.

There is a comment in the hobbit-clients.cfg.
# The special DEFAULT section can modify the built-in defaults - this must
# be placed at the end of the file.

I have finally resolved this problem. In my hobbit-client.cfg file I had
a
 DEFAULT entry which had a LOAD entry. The default entry was at the
beginning
 of the file and all my hosts below.

 It seems that bbwin.c was getting the LOAD values of the DEFAULT and
not the
 LOAD value for the host. Since the call to get the LOAD values is a
standard
 hobbit subroutine call I assume that this is not a bbwin.c problem but
a
 hobbit problem. Once I commented out the entries in the DEFAULT things
 started working fine.

 So either there is a bug in how hobbit scans hobbit-client.cfg or the
 DEFAULT is not working as I would have thought.

 QUESTIONS: How does hobbit scan the hobbit-client.cfg file and how does
it
 handle entries in the DEFAULT group.


 To resolve I went to bbwin.c and added the following lines so that I
could
 print the load, loadyellow and loadread values to see the values they
were
 being used.

 sprintf(msgline, "load: %f, loadyellow: %f, loadred: %f\n", load1,
 loadyellow, loadred);
 addtobuffer(cpumsg, msgline);


 I find having the load, loadyellow and loadred values printed on the
web
 page is kind of nice since these values can change with different hosts
it
 is nice to see the values that is causing the alarm.

Hello Robert,

2008/4/10, McGraw, Robert P <user-33cf07af04dd@xymon.invalid>:

 Running BBWin on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition

Service

 Pack 2 (build 3790)

 Running Hobbit 4.2.0 on the server

 BBWin is running in central mode

 The following is from the cpu bbdisplay

 Thu Apr 10 15:22:48 2008 up: 0 days, 0 users, 58 procs, load=6%
 yellow Load is HIGH
 CPU states:
     total  06%
     cpu00  5.7%
     cpu01  4.3%
     cpu02  4.9%
     cpu03  6.0%

 This is my hobbit-client.cfg

 HOST=mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
        UP 30m
        LOAD 40 70
        DISK    * 90 95
        PROC AGDigestSvc.exe  1 1
        PROC AgDomSvc.exe  1 1

 Can someone tell me what I am getting the yellow condition for
the

LOAD? I

 thought the LOAD values were in percentages

Sorry for the delay. Are you sure  HOST=mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
really match your host ? Could you check in the procs column if the
specified procs rules are applied ?

I have about 15 rules and they are working like a champ.

Could you tell me what bbwin patch did you apply on your hobbit 4.2
sources ? I mean, was it before or after January 31th ?

I just installed BBWin within the last couple weeks and followed the
instruction from your web page.

Tue Apr 15 10:16:17 2008 up: 4 days, 0 users, 57 procs, load=28%

Thanks very much for your help. Let me know and I will be glad to do
any
sniffing that you suggest.
