Hi,

I have a few questions, I hope someone can help me.


I've been using Hobbit for almost 2 years now and it was version 4.2 on Ubuntu 6.06.

Last week I decided to replace the whole thing and installed the latest 4.3.0-beta2 from a deb package on Ubuntu 8.04.1.

Since then I have some problems.


ftp is always "red" on both servers I have this check on.

And so is mssql I defined in bb-services like this:

[mssql]                options telnet            port 1433


this also happens on both servers I check.


I still have my old server and both the tests are working great. The configuration was copied from the old bb-services and bb-hosts files.

The environment (firewalls, etc.) had not changed.

At first I suspected the manually added services, but I also have this:

[port80]     options telnet
   port 80


and it works great.


The other question is regarding the linux hobbit client. I have a cluster of Squids behind a pfSense firewall.

There's a hobbit client installed on every server.

With the old Hobbit version, the Squids would sometimes transmit a truncated msg. But I never gave it too much thought.

But with the new version of Xymon, I see those Squids constantly with cpu purple, or worse - disks red. Of course, after a few minutes/hours it comes back to normal,

but why would it happen in the first place? By the way, regarding the disks:

red Mon Jul 20 23:32:36 IDT 2009 - Filesystems NOT ok
&red 29337532       8% / (2309340% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)
&red 15009444      58% /var/spool/squid (20533208% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)

Filesystem         1024-blocks     ]sed Available Capacity Mounted on

/dev/sdb1             35542652  20533208  15009444      58% /var/spool/squid

How is this even possible?

Anyone has any idea? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Lenny.

Wild guess: There are firewall rules which allow old xymon server IP to
connect to the ports in question, while there are no such firewall rules
for the new xymon server IP -

Hi,

thanks for answering.

I wish it was that easy:)


it's not possible though, cause it's the same exact machine, where I 
just replaced the hard drives, leaving it with the same IP and gateway.


Not just that, but I can telnet to these ports in question from the 
server itself, and there's no timeout or anything: the connection is 
immediate. It seems to me that the problem is in Xymon itself.
