maxdelay option

list Daniel Nordquist · Wed, 6 Oct 2010 14:52:55 -0400 ·

Hello all,

I've been trying to find a way to set my uptime reporting option globally but I can't find a way.  I know I can do it individually with each monitored servers bbwin.cfg file and setting a maxdelay, but does anyone know of a way to do it globally?  I know I can eliminate the column, but we do want to see recent reboots while we don't want to see servers that have been up "too long" on the bb2 page.

Much appreciated!
Dan

At the top of your $SERVER_HOME/etc/hobbt-clients.cfg file, you can have a "default" setting.  Here's mine:

DEFAULT
        UP      10m
        DISK / 95 97
        DISK /tmp 95 97
        FILE /var/log/messages TRACK=syslog "TEXT=Syslog Size"
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=0 max=20 color=yellow TRACK=ssh "TEXT=SSH logins"

Most any value can be set default across all hosts from here.  The documentation is in this file at the top.


I think that's what you're asking for.

I know this is not related to hobbit but I had a problem where my web pages stopped updating and histlogs stopped writing.

I checked my server disk space with df -h and it showed 3.6gb free on my root filesystem where hobbit lives.

I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.

I discovered after a little troubleshooting that I was actually out of space even though I supposedly had a few gig free.

I was able to clean up space and get my system running fine, but I'm baffled at why this happened.  I can't find anything on the web about it.

Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?

Thanks,

Try df -i - it sounds like you may have run out of i-nodes.

I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.

One of the reasons I never ran hobbit/xymon in the root filesystem - xymon can create a very large number of small files, and this can eat i-nodes faster than it eats disk space. Depending on OS and local preference, I'd suggest making an /opt or /usr//local filesystem with a higher number of i-nodes per block and run xymon in that filesystem.

Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?

One more thing to consider for future reference is that a percentage (default
5% for ext2/3) of the available space will be reserved for root. So you may
show some free space but the xymon user can not use any of it.
