Provide restricted view to default users
list L.M.J
Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to provide a restricted view to my colleagues : for example only a couple of subpages. Is it possible ? Where I have to look ? Thanks by advance,

Sure.

Documentation for your web server. However, you asked about subpages, to which this does apply, but if users can guess hostnames, they may be able to see data for other servers via the CGIs.

Wow, that's a nice useless answer! Well done Buchan but thanks anyway. My Hobbit runs with Kerberos restricted access, I know how to deal with web server restriction, this is clearly not the subject of my post. If Hobbit does not have a limited view option, then, just say it, I will deal with that and I will still use it... Any smart help is still welcome! Thank you

Don't throw rocks at a valuable contributor if they do not lead you by the hand to the specific answer that you seek. This is not the Jedi way. At present Hobbit/Xymon has no concept of "users" or "user restrictions". I guess you can take it from here? GLH

I guess I've been misunderstood (maybe my rusty English skills) but I don't see the
yet-another-useless-answer interested, it's a waste of time and disk space for all of us. The Greg Hubbard

Anyway, sorry for the `rude` attitude.

I've been making some updates to the monitoring of our vmware ESX servers and wanted to monitor the disk usage of the datastores attached to the servers. So, I modified the hobbitclient-linux.sh file and changed the [df] section from using df to using the vmware command vdf.

If you want true user separation: Since most of the things (e.g. the info column) are done with shared cgi's, this is hard to implement. You'd have to hack the CGI script to implement this kind of functionality. If a predefined summary page of only a subset of hosts is what you want (so you don't mind that people could view information on hosts not on that page if they know the name), then you could take a look at 'BUILDING ALTERNATE PAGESETS' subsection of the bbgen manpage.

Thanks, I will definitely check on the Alternate pagesets if it could do

No answer so far so here's another question then. How would I debug the server processing the 'client data'. Really just looking at the 'df' data. I've enabled both 'verbose' and 'debug' switches when starting the server and haven't found any issues. I do see the correct entries in the hobbit.chk file. Any thoughts on why this data isn't be graphed/displayed on the web page?

Ron, if your volume names have spaces or other "special" characters in them you may need to modify the code to account for them. I am no Linux or regex guru, but here is what I did in the 'hobbitclient-linux.sh' file (located in your hobbit client bin directory):
echo "[df]"
/usr/sbin/vdf | sed -e '/^[^ ][^ ]*$/{

Thanks. Aside from local storage, the datastores are shared between all the servers involved and are exactly the same. The odd part is that some clients display only local disk and others display all the disk. I have compared the 'client data' text output from one client to the next and there is no difference. All the disk is included in the text being sent to the hobbit server. I just don't understand why the hobbit server would display/process some and not others. Ron.

Looking at your disk values, the df command you use is probably not
correct. Xymon need values in Kbytes in order to graph them correctly.
Second point is that you need to tell vdf to unsplit its output.
We use this vdf command(through sudo) on our ESX3-servers:
echo "[df]"
sudo /usr/sbin/vdf -P | egrep -v

Ron, if your volume names have spaces or other "special" characters in them you may need to modify the code to account for them. I am no Linux or regex guru, but here is what I did in the 'hobbitclient-linux.sh' file (located in your hobbit client bin directory):
echo "[df]"

Subject: [hobbit] RE: Disk monitor issues
No answer so far so here's another question then. How would I debug the server processing the 'client data'. Really just looking at the 'df' data. I've enabled both 'verbose' and 'debug' switches when starting the server and haven't found any issues. I do see the correct entries in the hobbit.chk file.
Any thoughts on why this data isn't be graphed/displayed on the web page?

Subject: [hobbit] Disk monitor issues
I've been making some updates to the monitoring of our vmware ESX servers and wanted to monitor the disk usage of the datastores attached to the servers. So, I modified the hobbitclient-linux.sh file and changed the [df] section from using df to using the vmware command vdf.
Now, the 'client data' link for that host on the hobbit/xymon server displays the correct output:
[df]

/dev/sda2 4.9G 1.7G 3.0G 36% /
/dev/sda1 99M 28M 67M 30% /boot

However, the actual page displaying the filesystem usage and rrd graph only displays local disk:
Tue Apr 28 14:56:51 PDT 2009 - Filesystems OK
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 4.9G 1.7G 3.0G 36% /
/dev/sda1 99M 28M 67M 30% /boot
/dev/sda5 2.0G 364M 1.5G 20% /var/log
What's also very odd is that I have roughly a dozen of these types of boxes and some of them report the full output on the web page but most don't.
Why would the text data be correct, but the web data be different or a sub-set? All the clients are getting their full data to the server. I haven't seen any errors on the server logs relating to specific clients.
Thoughts?
Thanks again...
Looking at your disk values, the df command you use is probably not
correct. Xymon need values in Kbytes in order to graph them correctly.
Second point is that you need to tell vdf to unsplit its output.
We use this vdf command(through sudo) on our ESX3-servers:
echo "[df]"
sudo /usr/sbin/vdf -P | egrep -v
"\/vmfs\/devices|none|tmpfs|shmfs|unknown|iso9660"

The client isn't the problem here. The script is gathering the data correctly on all of my ESX hosts. The problem is that the server isn't displaying the datastore graphs for all the hosts, only some of them. This is odd since all of them are running the same script and are reporting the data the same.
Why would the server only process data for some hosts and not others?
