Lost cpu graphs of Hobbit server
list Jeffrey Parker
Hello,
I'm a old BB user that's a new believer in Hobbit. I'm having
an unusual problem I didn't see a reference to anywhere. About a day
after I started the Hobbit server, I noticed that no more data was
being added to the cpu RRD graph of the Hobbit server. It worked at
first, but just stopped. I tried removing the RRD file to try to
re-create the file, and no new file was created. I also noticed that
the user/process graph also stopped updating for this machine. All
other graphs are working fine for this machine and for all other
machines. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Parker

I assume the "cpu" column is being updated (it's not purple) ? Are there any messages about this RRD file in the ~hobbit/server/logs/rrd-status.log ? You can ignore any messages with "minimum one second step" . Regards, Henrik

I have seen this also. Just last week I lost the CPU graph for a system. Checked the logs and no messages. Restarted the clients (happened on two systems at the same time), no difference. Restarted the server, still no difference. (even rebooted the server just to make sure nothing was hung) Collected the patches from this mailing list (those after the all in one patch) and rebuild the server and clients. No difference. Had to go work other problems, and got back to it tree hours later and it was graphing again. (had just started about 10 minutes before I got back to it). Again no messages, so I never did figure out why it stopped for several hours. -Brett

Henrik, Thanks for this great program. Yes, the CPU seems to be updating just fine. Sorry I didn't mention that. That's one of things that makes this so puzzling. I checked the rrd-status log when this first started happening and just now, and I could find no references to these particular graphs. I'm stumped. Jeff

Has anything changed on the client machines? Were they recently rebooted? Anything in the client side logs? Are they showing up in the ghost reports now?

No. I can see nothing in the ghost reports. I quite sure no client machines were rebooted.

I've seen problems similar to this. It seems to be caused by the client's name being changed slightly (usually a matter of capitalization), make sure the client's name in the BBHOME/data./rrd directory exactly matches the name in the the bb-hosts file, including capitalization. Thanks, Larry Barber

Thanks to all who helped me with this. The last time I blew away all the rrd files for the Hobbit Display server and restarted everything, the graphs started up again. Jeff
