Hi 

I have used a mysql script from xymonton to collect data into xymon, i get the data in xymon OK but the problem is the graphs right now. 

The graphs come up in the page but is not plotting, the problem is some where between hobbitserver.cfg and hobbitgraph.cfg 

I am asking for help while i carry on looking for the answer (maybe i'm missing something in the configuration) 

please note that the rrd file is created in the data folder 

I get the data in xymon example:

Hi 
I want to filter some messages from a specific server's message log. So I built a special rule in hobbit-clients.cfg to filter that message, but it is ignored. It seems Hobbit preferres the DEFAULT section. If I uncomment the DEFAULT LOG rule my special rule is used and the message is filtered. 
So how can I have a default rule including some IGNORE clauses which is used for all my servers and an additional set of rule specific to one or more servers. 
Here is my hobbit-client.cfg. The rule I currently playing with is marked with (***), it's the host s068c326. If I comment out the last two lines it works, if not the message "ntpd error" is detected as error.

H,


Apologies in advance for all the emails.

I had a problem with the server and without wanting 3 messages went out
(well 4 with this one :) )

I'm kind of new to hobbit so if you point me in the right direction i can
probably find the solution.

Subject: [hobbit] message filter and the DEFAULT section


Hi

I want to filter some messages from a specific server's message log. So I built a special rule in hobbit-clients.cfg to filter that message, but it is ignored. It seems Hobbit preferres the DEFAULT section. If I uncomment the DEFAULT LOG rule my special rule is used and the message is filtered.

So how can I have a default rule including some IGNORE clauses which is used for all my servers and an additional set of rule specific to one or more servers.

Here is my hobbit-client.cfg. The rule I currently playing with is marked with (***), it's the host s068c326. If I comment out the last two lines it works, if not the message "ntpd error" is detected as error.

HOST=s068310i
        DISK    %^/platform.*  IGNORE

HOST=s068310b
        DISK    %^/platform.*  IGNORE

        LOG     %.* %(fatal|error)   IGNORE=%ntpd  COLOR=red     #(***)

You've got now no graph in mysql-test-pager but into the trendpage ....

... and look into your mysql.rrd-file if there is everything alright ..

rrdtool dump mysql.rrd |les

This is something that would be outstanding for the wiki.

The MySQL stuff is actually already in my hobbtgraph file which initially puzzled me.  After working through it a number of times, I was able to finally get it to work, but not without some difficulty.

Excellent work, Nelson.

Yes, i do think it should be integrated with the default release (like
dns,smtp,etc)

I can write something for the wiki, not a problem, just let me know where it
should be posted

It is already in the hobbitgraph file but it could do with a bit of an
upgrade.

Before I go ahead and write the wiki I would like to ask the sql "maestros"
to point out what show be monitored in Mysql (ie, what information can we
get in hobbit that will give us a very good an detailed picture of the mysql
database).

waiting for sugestions, also with your sugestions could you please send the
commands to find that information?
