Purple Status
list Zakki Ashshidiqi
I am using hobbit 4.1.1 on Redhat 9, Linux 2.4.20-8. I got this problem this Tuesday. The status of all of the services is back to purple. If I restart the hobbit server the status back to normal. But, in two hour or more, the status will be backt to purle again. Do you have any solution? Thanks Zakki If You need more data, I can provide it. ================================= scanned by Indosat TM-IMSS System

Hello all, I'm still in the process of setting up hobbit Server. I have hobbit server running on a Ubuntu Linux machine. I have purple status for (the server) cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, and procs. It's a square with waves. How can I get rid of the purple status. I null'ed the files in ~/data/hist but the status won't turn to green. What do I do to fix it? Thanks! -TS

Actually all the purple statuses are from the Server. I am in the process of setting up a client. I have Hobbit version 4.2.0 installed. Thanks, TS

he means that the client part of the software is not running on the server. For the server to monitor itself, it needs the client software running on it as well. Paul Root Lead Internet Systems Eng Network Services

The server install will automatically install the client. Also, did you install the all-in-one patch? It fixes ALOT of evils. There is a 4.2.2 release candidate that contains all of the fixes rolled up into a new deliverable.

I thought I had seen somewhere in the MAN pages about the ability to set hosts so that if it is not responding to ping then all of the other monitored services should not also send an alert because they are dependent on the ping working. If one of my machines goes offline because someone turns it off I don't want the other services to also send me e-mails of their failure or purple status. How do I set alerting that if the connection is lost the other services won't alert also. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason

If the ping (conn) check fails ... all other checks on that host automatically go into basically a null status and they will not alert by default. Only if you have a host that is NOT monitored by ping, do you need to worry about putting in "depends" checks. 'Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.' --Yogi Berra
