Hi guys.

Got another thing I can't seem to sort out.

I'm getting the following in the hobbitclient.log:
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Bad data in channel, skipping it
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Got over-size message, truncating at 528383 bytes
(max: 524288)
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Dropping (more) garbled data
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Dropping (more) garbled data
2008-08-18 14:18:32 Failed to get a message, terminating

This I think is related to the amount of data in the process list,
being more than 512k(?) which is the default.

I have changed hobbitserver.cfg with the following entries:
MAXMSG_STATUS="1048576"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="1048576"
MAXMSG_DATA="1048576"
MAXMSG_NOTES="1048576"

and I can't find other references in the man file to increase message
and data size.

I'm running hobbit 4.2.0 server on centos 5, and the same version
client on 8 servers running AIX5.3.
The other servers are fine, and the only difference is the amount of
data in the process list.
Am I missing something?

The man hobbitserver.cfg says that the values in the above MAXMSG_* is in kB.

Where what is mentioned in log is in bytes and not kB.

So maybe they are to big, your values..

I hope not, but i see what you mean.

I actually have to increase it to more

root at hostname:/ # netstat -an |wc -c
 1100078
root at hostname:/ #

I have now changed the values to
MAXMSG_STATUS="2048"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="2048"
MAXMSG_DATA="2048"
MAXMSG_NOTES="2048"

But still get the same error, and all the host's checks are purple now.

I know it says it has the same value as MAXMSG_STATUS but I also set
MAXMSG_STACHG="2048" and then stop the hobbit server, check the shared
memory segments have been released by hobbit (ipcs -a) and the restart the
hobbit server.
 
Works for me ; -)

One of my hobbit setups had this problem as it had extremely long ps
listings, I ended up having to use these settings:
MAXLINE="32768"
MAXMSG_CLIENT="3072"
MAXMSG_STATUS="3072"
MAXMSG_DATA="512"

I think the "maxline" is the one you are missing.

I'm using BBwin 0.11 for monitoring 3 fileserver in different offices.
All this offices use Wlan for all standard PC and also the server.

Now my problem is, When the server starts, I always get the following message:

*application: error - 2008/08/20 09:34:35 - BigBrotherHobbitClient (17) - n/a
~ "The agent bbwinupdate generated this event message : bbwin namespace update is not
~ permitted. Please check the bbwin/bbwin.cfg on your hobbit server."*

After about 30min it is working fine.
I think, the problem is the wireless network.
When bbwin started, the Wlan isn't connected and bbwin cannot grep the config from the Hobbit server.
Do someone have an idea, how to resolve this problem?

At the local config, I have set only one remote config.

Thanks

Maik
