I complete lost my hobbit server for a day. Is there any work done on setting up fail over servers?
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.
Well no rsync for hp-ux 11. I might be able to rcp/scp . I don't have another HP set up as a server identical to my Hobbit server.
rsync is reasonably portable. If you could compile Hobbit on HP-UX, I'd think you could also compile rsync.
Ive a sun but I don't think the rrds would work . Anyone know if this is so?
Probably not, you would have to do a dump/import of each RRD file. Anyway,
the reason I suggested that you should copy over the RRD files was just to
keep your historical trends data. If you can live without that - and just
need to get monitoring up and running ASAP - then ignore the RRD files.
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.
Great! in 4.1.2 ?
Nope. 4.1.2 is in "feature-freeze".
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.
OK . It IS useful . Here is the link to watcher : http://www.i-pi.com/watcher.html
Thanks, I tried google'ing it but couldn't find it.
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 ?
I prefer to keep the pages as clean as possible, but feel free to customize the templates any way you like :-)
Fair enough. But how as a separate help item ; legend . I would prefer if to be in there header, click on it and it display the page. IM ALWAYS ask what they are.
Add an entry to your ~hobbit/server/www/menu/menu_items.js file, like
['Hobbit Icons', '/hobbit/help/hobbit-tips.html#icons'],
