Troubleshooting Alerts -- Having Problems

Hello,

 
I'm having to modify the hobbit-alerts.cfg file to add

additional pagers and remove some old ones.

 
However, I want to make sure that everything is working

since this is a live system. How can I test that the configuration

files is correct. I didn't receive some of the pages. 

 
Also, We received Cell Phones in place of the pagers, and

now when I send messages to the cell phones, the cell phone

doesn't display it properly. It's to much data for the cell phones

they gave us. They are Nokia 6085's. When I get a text it

says 1 of 10..or .. missing text.. I'm guessing I'm going

to have to filter all my Hobbit alerts now. 

 
Has anyone had this problem and have a sms script I can use?

 
Thanks..James

Make a new config file (e.g. etc/hobbit-alerts-new.cfg, and on a commandprompt, while in the server directory:

bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --config=etc/hobbit-alerts-new.cfg --test <HOST> <TEST> [--color=COLOR] [--duration=SECONDS]

Mandatory arguments:
HOST = hostname as it appears in Xymon
TEST = testname as it appears in Xymon

Optional arguments:
COLOUR = colourlevel (red, blue, purple, yellow, green)
SECONDS = number of seconds the test supposedly is down.

For more options, see the hobbits_alert manual (right pulldown menu, last option).

There is a FORMAT option for alerts. In particular, you probably want  
"FORMAT=SMS". See the hobbit-alerts.cfg man page and the example in  
the alerts file itself.

Thanks, I'll test out the SMS Format.

Can someone give me some pointers on checking the configuration
file and also sending out a test alert. I've looked through the
man page and tried a few things, but it didn't seem to work.

Just change the host in question to use a bogus threshold for a few
minutes?  Like set the disk threshold to 5 percent, or something?  Then
change it back when you are done.

hmm,

do you mean e.g :

activate the limit for the host for DISK in

hobit-client.cfg

DISK    * 98 99

and then do

/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --debug --test HOSTNAME disk

So, I tried this in hobbit-alerts.cfg

MAIL os-primary-pager FORMAT=sms REPEAT=15 COLOR=RED DURATION>5m DURATION<35
RECOVERED

The notifications log said it was sent to the phone.
(os-primary-pager is in the mail aliases file)

However, the phone never received the messages. Prior to putting
in the FORMAT=sms, it sent pages fine.

I use the 4.2.3 client on many RHEL4 and RHEL5 servers without a

I recall someone else on the list saying they had problems with the
client on systems that were in-place upgrades to RHEL5.2.  Don't
remember what version of the client though.

The exact message syntax is:
	Filesystem of /home/bb/bbc1.9i-btf/tmp is FULL

The / directory (where /home is located) is 5% full/.  There is 50 GB
free.  There is only 1% of the inodes in use.  This is a RHEL 5.3 system
that I just built.

This is an old Big Brother client software that I built from source.
Which is probably why I need to switch over to the hobbit client for
RHEL5.

The exact message syntax is:
	Filesystem of /home/bb/bbc1.9i-btf/tmp is FULL

The / directory (where /home is located) is 5% full/.  There is 50 GB free.  There is only 1% of the inodes in use.  This is a RHEL 5.3 system that I just built.

This is an old Big Brother client software that I built from source.
Which is probably why I need to switch over to the hobbit client for RHEL5.

The problem with no SMS notification was a slow email
server. So, SMS works fine. However, the message is way to short.

For example, if it is alerting on a disk threshold, then
all I get on the SMS is the server name, and the test name
that is failing. I don't actually get the partition (filesystem)
that exceeded the threshold.

If I use PLAIN or just leave it at default, I get to much
information and it overruns the poor little cell phone.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks...james

I use FORMAT=TEXT and some perl magic to filter out the relevant lines from

if ( $type eq "disk" ) {

This may be irrelevant, but...
That sounds like an issue I had with CA Unicenter some years ago.  When I
created the 50Gb filesystem Solaris allocated the default number of inodes
for me.  That number turned out to be close to INT_MAX, which is 2147483647.
 With only about 2,000 inodes in use, there was a rollover in the math so it
looked like the available inode count was negative, which triggered an
alert.

So, how many *total* inodes are there in the filesystem??  That might lead
us somewhere.

I had the same problem with RHEL5 and I traced it to a difference with the sort command.    The rel 5 sort does not support "sort +" option. 
As a work around I copied the REL4 sort to bb/bin and changed the bbdef.local SORT=  to point to the bb/bin/sort 
REL5 now works

RE: [hobbit] Hobbit client for RHEL5


That is the recommendation I found by searching online.  However, it
doesn't work on RHEL5.  It did work under RHEL4.  The /tmp and /home
directories are part of /, and I have 50GB free there.

I believe it shows that when /tmp is full or was full.  Restart BB if
/tmp is no longer full.

The exact message syntax is:
               Filesystem of /home/bb/bbc1.9i-btf/tmp is FULL

The / directory (where /home is located) is 5% full/.  There is 50 GB free.  There is only 1% of the inodes in use.  This is a RHEL 5.3 system that I just built.

This is an old Big Brother client software that I built from source.
Which is probably why I need to switch over to the hobbit client for RHEL5.

I use the 4.2.3 client on many RHEL4 and RHEL5 servers without a
problem.  I compile from source though.  
I recall someone else on the list saying they had problems with the
client on systems that were in-place upgrades to RHEL5.2.  Don't
remember what version of the client though.

Folks

I'm having a problem with the Enable/Disable option under the Administration tab.  Our hobbit server died overnight.  Rather than replace the motherboard, we moved the disks to another Dell box, same model, and booted up.  When hobbit was running again, I noticed that none of the information about devices/servers/services that had been disabled through the web browser interface were preserved.  I also noticed that I can only see the list of devices/servers/services to enable/disable now if I go the individual page where the item is listed.  The entire list is not showing up on the main page any more.

Can someone tell me where to find the information that is configured from the web browser for the Enable/Disable administrative option?  Is that stored in a file?  And does anyone have an idea why the full list of entries from bb-hosts is not shown when I go to Enable/Disable from the main page?

We are running hobbit 4.2 on a RHEL4 server.  As far as I've been able to determine, hobbit seems to be running normally otherwise.

Thanks for your help.

Would that have cleared out the configuration?  When the server booted up, the Ethernet cable was plugged into the wrong port.  We just moved it and then enabled the port.  I think hobbit ran for about 1.5 hr until I rebooted it.  So I know when it initially came up, it would not have been able to find the NTPD server.  But the time wasn't horribly off. After the reboot at lunch, all services would have started normally.  I just verified that ntpd was running, and ran ntpdate.  Ntpdate showed a minimal time difference.

Can someone tell me where to find the information that is configured from the web browser for the Enable/Disable administrative option?  Is that stored in a file?  And does anyone have an idea why the full list of entries from bb-hosts is not shown when I go to Enable/Disable from the main page?

We are running hobbit 4.2 on a RHEL4 server.  As far as I've been able to determine, hobbit seems to be running normally otherwise.

Thanks for your help.

Cathy

Subject: Hobbit client for RHEL5

Is there a hobbit client for Red Hat's RHEL5?  The client I use for RHEL4 has some issues running on RHEL5.

Regards,

That's it the hobbitd.chk file.  If time on the server was off, then the
hobbitd process would have either cleared the items or decided that they
were eligible to be disabled yet.

I *think* the list of disabled hosts/services is kept in memory.
There's a checkpoint file: 

   server/tmp/hobbitd.chk


but I don't know what kind of brain dump that is...  It may not include
the disabled list.

I don't know why the full list of servers doesn't show up in your
Admin->Enable/Disable menu, unless they simply haven't reported in yet.

	I'm having a problem with the Enable/Disable option under the
Administration tab.  Our hobbit server died overnight.  Rather than
replace the motherboard, we moved the disks to another Dell box, same
model, and booted up.  When hobbit was running again, I noticed that
none of the information about devices/servers/services that had been
disabled through the web browser interface were preserved.  I also
noticed that I can only see the list of devices/servers/services to
enable/disable now if I go the individual page where the item is listed.
The entire list is not showing up on the main page any more.
	
	Can someone tell me where to find the information that is
configured from the web browser for the Enable/Disable administrative
option?  Is that stored in a file?  And does anyone have an idea why the
full list of entries from bb-hosts is not shown when I go to
Enable/Disable from the main page?
