New Hobbit "admin" Scripts 🔗 link

Hi,
i have wrote 5 CGI-Scripts for administrate Hobbit. But i need Helf 
because there are many unsolved Problems

1. A Script which can delete/rename Services or Hosts
2. A Script where you can edit your Config in Browser
3. A Script to test your hobbit-alert.cfg in two way.
        1. By using bbcm
        2. To change any Test in any Color you want
4. A Script to watch your Hobbit Server Logs in Browser
5. A Script you can view Graphs with an exact Time.

You can download it here:
http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~henk/hobbit/
and copie it in ./cgi-secure

header and footer must copied in ./server/web/ 
and your Menu should changed: (./server/www/menu_items.js)
in something like that:
...
['Administration', null, null,
                ['Find host', 'http://hobbit/hobbit-cgi/bb-findhost.sh';],
                ['Acknowledge alert', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/bb-ack.sh';],
                ['Enable/disable', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/hobbit-enadis.sh';],
                ['Edit critical systems', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/hobbit-nkedit.sh';],
                ['Rename/Delete', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/chhostservice.sh';],
                ['Edit Configs', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/edit_files.sh';],
                ['Test alerts', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/testalarm.sh';],
                ['View Hobbit-Server Logs', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/viewlogs.sh';],
                ['View Graph', 
'http://hobbit/hobbit-seccgi/view_graph.sh';],
        ],
...

NOW TO MY PROBLEMS:
1. How can i found out which server have which service? and that only by 
using the Filesystem because i don't use C (i use normal bashscripts)
2. How can i found which Server has which graph? (with the same Condition)

3. Bugs, Problems,....

thx a lot
Stefan

P.S. sorry for my bad English its christmas soon ;-)

Stefan,

Don't know what the issue is but I get a 500 error on every script of yours.
Maybe they were transferred from the web server in the wrong format (ascii
vs. binary)? Not sure.

 Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: viewlogs.sh

If you think this is a server error, please contact the
webmaster<%5bno%20address%20given%5d>.

Hi,
for my tests i know 2 Situatins, which was cause of this errors.
1. your rights was net set to 755 (rwx,rx,rx). You must know that this script will started by the Webserver (and his users) and not directly by hobbit!
2. Somewhere in the Script is an output before i send the Header of the file.

I have updated my Scripts, and set the header near the beginning of the script.

thx for testing.

P.S. Auf Deutsch gehts doch einfacher ;-). Ansonsten gefällt dir die Idee? Was würdest du sonst noch brauchen?

Yes an in correct transfer ; for all the scripts have ^M  at the end of the line.
Thats easy enoght to fix after down load though.

What shell are you using its not sh (bourne)  is it realy bash ?
I  cant get the select statment in  viewlogs.sh  to work.  Look like no vaule is parsed.
I hard coded a log in and it displays.  I  put an echo "$SELECT" and it blank.

HI,
thx for your test and i will fix it if i can but i need your help because 
i have only one System where i can check cgi scripts

can you change this:

#Check Query
this_cgiascii "$query"
this_getQuery "$query" "select";SELECT="$RETURN"

in

echo "<pre>$query</pre><br>------<br>"
this_cgiascii "$query"
echo "<pre>$query</pre><br>------<br>"
this_getQuery "$query" "select";SELECT="$RETURN"
echo "<pre>$query</pre><br>------<br>"

and post the output. I have tried to create my own bash functions but i 
don't know if it is real sh because many sources are not available.

usage: head [-n #] [-#] [filename...]

Hi,
hmm we have nearly the same Linux running but yours seems to have an other version of "head". I think i have an other solution to handle this Problem

change
query=$( $HEAD --bytes="$CONTENT_LENGTH" )

in
read -n $CONTENT_LENGTH query

on my styem both version running good but eventually is the 2. version more compatible.

thx
Stefan

Hi,
firstly thx for your help.

are you shure your hobbit-server.cfg can be read because the Informations of the command are stored there (normaly). 
so you can use this function if grep not works
this_getQuery()
{
        RETURN=`echo "$1" | $SED -n "s/^.*$2=\([^&]*\).*\$/\1/p" | $SED "s/%0D//g"| $SED "s/%0A/\n/g" | $CUT -f 2 -d "=" | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"`
}

what i can do when sed not works too,... hmm i don't know yet but i will find an solution

stay patient ;-)

ah ok but sed and grep are on the most Unix Systems too. 
I think i must do an switch between the Systems. The option of each programm differs extremely (but i only have Sun mashines here as an other Unix, but not tested yet).

I will work on that after the christmass day, what system do you use?

I read Redhat but it seems to be not right ;-)

thx Stefan

Yes,  but most unix es don't spport those flags for head and grep !  I didn't  check on the sed.
IM on a Solaris 8 system

I read gnu man page for grep and didn't even understand what the -o flag did and not im not sure  egrep would do the extend regular  exp.

If I did I might try to do it another way.

OK I got it to work.
Changed :
this_getQuery()
{
#       RETURN=`echo "$1" | $GREP -oE "(^|[?&])$2=[^&]+" | $SED "s/%0D//g"| $SED "s/%0A/\n/g"
| $CUT -f 2 -d "=" | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"`
 RETURN=`echo "$1" |   awk -F\= '{print $2}' | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"`
}
What are you trying to do with  all the grep and sed?

BTW is almost always better (more portable?) to use awk -F rather than cut -f
cut is "white space challenged  "  on many systems

Also it Bash level dependent!
Works: GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.8)
Does work:GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris)

Hi,
thx for your work!

But on your solution there is one Problem, becouse it only work if you have only 1 variable to send in most of this scripts i used more. I have used this solution without cut, awk, grep i hope it works. You can download it heer:

http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~henk/hobbit/

it is Version 0.0.7 with this change.

this_getQuery()
{
        RETURN=`echo "$1" | $SED -n "s/^.*$2=\([^&]*\).*\$/\1/p" | $SED "s/%0D//g"| $SED "s/%0A/\n/g" | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"` }

The many sed is needing because cgi converts some Characters in "%ASCI" and noone have given me an small solution, so i reconvert every Ascii value manually. Its not beatyfull but it works (i hope so ;-) )

I hope i could help you
Stefan

Hi, Stefan !


Thanks, now it works .... 
Great !

Cheers & have a happy new year

Probably true for all Solaris versions.
And the default bash from sun does not work:
 /usr/bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris)

But this version does:

I think the easiest thing is just to put a note in  the file.

ON to the next one!:

view_graph.sh

Not giving a drop down list for Service.

In your example below.

Useradmins group will get a page for only /home.

But what if I want the unix admins who have a rule in the hobbit-alerts that
sends SMS for all disk reds, not to be paged via sms if that filesystem goes
red. 

It would be nice if it just sends an email but if I can just get it to
ignore a page at a filesystem level I can just add the email address to the
user admins group.

Hope that made sense.

Hi,
do you have set the rights for hobbit-client.cfg?
It needed write permissions for  the Webserver, because it runs as an CGI 
script and not as the user you run hobbit.
But i look against over my code eventuelly there was a bug, do you have an 
idea why it not work?

thx for help

I searched the archive and found a few posts about monitoring nfs mounts.

But how can I ignore nfs mounts from showing up?

 
Weekly ignite backups mount a filesystem and unmount it. 

I would like to ignore this filesystem on the clients but have it monitored
on the server. 

 
How can I go about this?

 
And also how can I delete the extra chart that it created today.

 
For now I just set the default higher so it would not page out.

 
Thanks

Richard

Hello,

I have tried different recommendations from the mailing list and I played around with different ways of ignoring some mount types.

There is two problems I always had:
- NFS/CIFS/SMB mounts hang/delay the "df" command if remote host does not respond
- Special devices should be ignored (CD/DVD/etc)

Now, I'm using the following method and as of now, it look like it work very well for me (mostly AIX or Linux environments)

*** If somebody has other ideas or think this could be done in a simpler ways, I would be glad to hear your comments.  ***

My actual "method" if to catch only some vfs types from the "mount" command and pass the filesystem list to "df"

In the file  /home/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh

################################################################################
# Change to remove NFS and CIFS filesystems
#df -Ik | sed -e '/^[^  ][^     ]*$/{
