Hobbitd Client crashed
list Bill Hart
I've dug through the archives, but can't find anything that helps me clear this issue. We're running "Xymon" 4.2.2 on CentOS 5 and the crash was initiated when I started trying to use BBWin 0.12 in central mode. Switching back to individual mode still leaves it crashing all the time. I tried rebooting everything and it didn't help any. The core files that are generated don't seem to be pointing me anywhere specifically, though I could be running the checks on those incorrectly. We'd really like to be able to use the central mode of BBwin, so it would be great to get this running without errors again. Thanks for any pointers.

Hello,
Can anyone help me figure out why bbtest is warning (yellow) on my server? I'm not sure if the error "http/https tests requires a full URL" Is what's causing it, but if it is I cannot see anything wrong with the url's in my bb-hosts file.

Yes, those errors are what is causing your yellow status. And though you cannot see anything wrong with your bb-hosts file, something IS wrong with it according to bbtest. Unfortunately we cannot judge what is wrong though, since you did not include it.

Hi,

Error output: http/https tests requires a full URL http/https tests requires a full URL http/https tests requires a full URL http/https tests requires a full URL
In many cases, it's because you added in your bb-hosts conf the tag "http" instead of providing a full http URL like "http://myhost.com/";. Check it at first, hope it'll help you ! Regards, Nico

This sounds similar to an issue I was having a while ago, and tracked it down to the client config file. If I was monitoring services on Windoze machines, and had an entry SVC "MyService" startup=automatic status=started color=red It was all good. If I changed that to SVC "MyService" status=started color=red It would crash and burn. Are you seeing a hobbitd_client test under hobbit server? Here is some more detail of what I saw. http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/09/msg00345.html I have no idea if this bug was ever fixed either. Good luck. Regards Vernon

Vernon, I suspected my svc line was causing some issues as there was a bit of conflicting information on that, however I commented out all of those lines and the issue persists. The way this is behaving though it almost looks like xymon is failing to send a green status when things are running. I say this because restarting the server and service with the lines for central management all commented out still leaves me with a purple status for hobbitd_client, but an updated time on the page for the current or previous time stamp.

The "hobbitd_client" status must be dropped manually. It usually does not exist, it is only generated when the hobbitd_client program crashes. You need to send a "drop" request to remove it: bb 127.0.0.1 "drop myhobbitserver hobbitd_client" About the crash itself, this points to a bug in the bbwin-handler of hobbitd_client. I haven't dug into it myself, but perhaps the bbwin folks will provide a solution (they wrote the code) ... Regards, Henrik
