Hello guys, im having some problems to monitor processes with a long output (most of them are java processes). Hobbit seems to cut the output at certain size and i have to look for a string which appears at the end of the output. where can i change this length limit? tia, Cayo

I had the same problem, also with java processes.
Assuming you are using Linux, look in the
~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line
echo "[ps]"
Change the 'ps ' command which follows according to your systems
requirements.
For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it to:
ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd

Interesting. I was just checking out the output in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beeta2, and the process listing under "procs" is not truncated at all for me. I was about to setup a new check, and see what I could come up with, and I happened to catch the Xymon command that was run in that process listing, and it was: ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd Good catch!

In plain text, it looks normal. =G= From: Sheets, Jerald [user-dc7b196c5161@xymon.invalid] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 3:59 PM To: user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid Subject: RE: [hobbit] Procs --> output of a process from ps -ef is too long Well, I would've figured that if it was wrapping, it would actually be easier to find the string he's looking for at the end of the Java line. If it was truncating, he wasn't getting it at all. Did I err in that assumption somewhere? --j -----Original Message----- From: Galen Johnson [mailto:user-87f955643e3d@xymon.invalid] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 3:19 PM To: user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid Subject: RE: [hobbit] Procs --> output of a process from ps -ef is too long When they said too long, I didn't think they meant a smaller font (those of you who received the previous email in html know what I'm talking about.

I was just checking out the output in Xymon 4.3.0-0.beeta2, and the process listing under "procs" is not truncated at all for me. I was about to setup a new check, and see what I could come up with, and I happened to catch the Xymon command that was run in that process listing, and it was: ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd Good catch!

Hobbit seems to cut the output at certain size and i have to look for a string which appears at the end of the output. where can i change this length limit? I had the same problem, also with java processes. Assuming you are using Linux, look in the ~hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh, look for the line echo "[ps]" Change the 'ps ' command which follows according to your systems requirements. For example, under SLES, I had to add 'ww' and changee it to: ps -Aww -o pid,ppid,user,start,state,pri,pcpu,time,pmem,rsz,vsz,cmd Tom Brand Disclaimer: 1) all opinions are my own, 2) I may be completely wrong, 3) my advice is worth at least as much as what you are paying for it, or your money cheerfully refunded.
