Can hobbit server comprehense COMBO keywords like BB server
list Myra [Ontario] Haubrich
I am wondering if hobbit server can understand the keywork "combo" at the beginning of a combo report file like bb server does? Eg: combo status server1,xx,xx,xx,xx.cpu green Tue Jun 24 19:59:34 UTC 2008 up: 5 days, 2 users, 119 procs, load=17 LOAD AVG on server1,xx,xx,xx,xx is 17 status server1,xx,xx,xx,xx.disk green Tue Jun 24 19:59:34 UTC 2008 - Disk partitions on server1,xx,xx,xx,xx OK /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 100790004 9644576 86025516 11% /home /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 5036316 44476 4736008 1% /tmp /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 101086 19502 76365 21% /boot /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 40670524 2182592 36421976 6% / /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 20161204 988424 18148640 6% /var status server1,xx,xx,xx,xx .procs green Tue Jun 24 19:59:34 UTC 2008 All processes are OK &green cron >=1 - 1 instance running &green bbrun >=1 - 2 instances running ...

You could try it - and you would find that it works just like the Big Brother server. It's purely for compatibility with Big Brother based clients, though. The cpu-time needed to process a combo-message as opposed to multiple individual status-messages is nearly identical. Regards, Henrik

I've checked that the nc command went through, but no update on hobbit
website, and no logs of anysort. However, it worked with BB server. Is
there any suggested way to feed hobbit server combo data?
Thank you very much in advance!

You have some new-line problems there. The layout of a combo message should be combo<newline> status ........ <newline> <newline> status ...... So your first blank line between the "combo" and the "status" should not be there. Not sure if this is what causes the problem, though... It could also be that your "test.txt" file has DOS/Windows style line termination (carriage-return + newline), this would also cause problems. Hobbit might be a bit more finicky about this than BB, but it was tested with the Big Brother "bb" client. And Hobbit does use combo messages internally, e.g. for all of the network test status messages (try running "bbcmd bbtest-net --no-update" and see the messages that get sent to the Hobbit server). The data you're sending looks pretty much like a standard Unix client report. Any particular reason why you're not just using the normal Hobbit client and the "bb" utility to send the data ?

The client host (a RHEL server) is behind firewalls, and I tried with
hobbitfetch and msgcache, the normal hobbit way. I've checked with "lsof
-i:1984" to make sure that msgcache is running on the client and
hobbitfetch is running on hobbit server. It didn't work, most likely the
firewall blocked it.
Below is the configurations that I learned from the forum. Any
suggestions?
===========
CLIENT SIDE
/etc/sysconfig/hobbit-cleint
Hobbitserver="xx.xx.xx.xx 127.0.0.1" <-- hobbit server IP
hobbitclient.cfg
BBDISP="127.0.0.1" <-- Changed from Hobbit server IP to localhost
clientlaunch.cfg
[msgcache]
# DISABLED <-- Comment it
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/bin/msgcache --no-daemon
--pidfile=$HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/msgcache.pid
LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/msgcache.log
[client]
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/bin/hobbitclient.sh --local <-- Add
--local
LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbitclient.log
INTERVAL 5m
SERVER SIDE
hobbitlaunch.cfg
[hobbitfetch]
# DISABLED <-- Comment it
ENVFILE
/home/users/hobbit/application/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD $BBHOME/bin/hobbitfetch --server=XX.XX.XX.XX --no-daemon--pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitfetch.pid <-- replace the IP by your
Hobbit server one
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitfetch.log
bb-hosts
zz.zz.zz.zz fqdn # conn hobbitfetch pulldata
==========Anyhow, a perl script on client host sends status data as combo message to hobbit server via ssh. The combo message is now working with hobbit server. Thank you so much for your help!!! MH.

ON the note, the problem using ssh to get data from client side is that, server will not have any rrd data for graphs, right?
