It's invoked as a CGI script. I noticed now that the normal
".sh" wrapper script wasn't included in 4.1.1 - fixed that.
A simple script like this in cgi-bin/hobbit-confreport.sh:

   #!/bin/sh

   exec /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-confreport.cgi --env=/etc/hobbit/hobbitserver.cfg

And then you should be able to run it by picking it from the "Reports"
menu.

It uses a cookie to determine what pages/hosts to include in the report.

How do I change what hosts to include in den report ?

If i use the config report from a page inside a pageset it work well but if i use it from the first page of a pagesets it will report all the configured object and not only those in the pageset.

A correction to this: with pageset the config report script will not work I think. It work for the page I've also in the main bb files but if I have a page in the pageset not present in the main BB file it will not work.
The output of config report in this case is a web page with:

Unable to find host information

Greetings,

Recently i have been trying to create a custom script that grabs cpu utilization percentage, however when i try to get it to graph, it will not work...  I have read the man page for hobbitd_rrd as well as the message thread "custom RRD data" in the hobbit mailing list archives, however i still cannot get it to work.

Here is my client script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
BBPROG=bb-cpu2.sh; export BBPROG

TEST="cpu2"

if test "$BBHOME" = ""
then
        echo "BBHOME is not set... exiting"
        exit 1
fi

if test ! "$BBTMP"                      # GET DEFINITIONS IF NEEDED
then
         # echo "*** LOADING BBDEF ***"
        . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh          # INCLUDE STANDARD DEFINITIONS
fi

#
# NOW COLLECT SOME DATA

TOTAL_IDLE_CPU=`vmstat 1 5 |tail -n 4 | awk '{ print $18 }'| perl -ne '$cnt+= $_; print "$cnt \n"' |tail -n 1| perl -ne '$cnt+= $_; print $cnt'`
IDLE_CPU=`$EXPR $TOTAL_IDLE_CPU / 4`
USED_CPU=`$EXPR 100 - $IDLE_CPU`

if [ $USED_CPU -ge "75" ]
then
  if [ $USED_CPU -lt 90 ]
  then
        COLOR="yellow"
        GIFCOLOR="&yellow"
        STATUS="warn"
  else
        COLOR="red"
        GIFCOLOR="&red"
        STATUS="panic"
  fi
else
  COLOR="green"
  GIFCOLOR="&green"
  STATUS="ok"
fi

#
# AT THIS POINT WE HAVE OUR RESULTS.  NOW WE HAVE TO SEND IT TO
# THE BBDISPLAY TO BE DISPLAYED...
#
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` - $STATUS Used CPU: $USED_CPU"

Here is my feeder script on the server side:
#!/bin/sh

# Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile
HOSTNAME="$!"
TESTNAME="$2"
FNAME="$3"

#CPU2

if [ "$TESTNAME" = "cpu2" ]
then
        # Analyze the message we got
        cpu2=grep "^OK - " $FNAME | awk '{ print $11 }'

       # The RRD dataset definitions
        echo "DS:cpu2:GAUGE:600:0:100"

        # The filename
        echo "cpu2.rrd"

        # The data
        echo "$cpu2"
fi

exit 0

i also edited the following lines in the following files:
hobbitgraph.cfg
[cpu2]
        TITLE CPU Utilization Percentage
        YAXIS Percentage
        DEF:cpu2=cpu2.rrd:cpu2:AVERAGE
        LINE2:cpu2#00CCCC:CPU Utilization
        COMMENT:\n

        GPRINT:cpu2:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:cpu2:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:cpu2:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

hobbitlaunch.cfg
[rrdstatus]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/rrd-status.log hobbitd_rrd --rrddir=$BBVAR/rrd --extra-script=/usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/cpu2.sh --extra-test=cpu2

hobbitserver.cfg
TEST2RRD="cpu=la,cpu2,disk,inode,qtree,memory,$PINGCOLUMN=tcp,http=tcp,dns=tcp,dig=tcp,time=ntpstat,vmstat,iostat,netstat,temperature,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,nmailq=mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd" 

GRAPHS="la,cpu2,disk,inode,qtree,memory,users,vmstat,iostat,tcp.http,tcp,netstat,mrtg::1,temperature,ntpstat,apache,bind,sendmail,mailq,socks,bea,iishealth,citrix,bbgen,bbtest,bbproxy,hobbitd"

And then i have restarted the Hobbit server multiple times since then and Hobbit says "Hobbit cpu2 graph" however, the server piece never seems to create the rrd file.

Any ideas??

thanks,
Adam

This sends a one-line status report with the text
green Tue Sep 27 23:11:49 CEST 2005 - ok Used CPU: 15

[snip]

This line looks for "OK" at the beginning of a line (but it is
in the middle of the line, and in lowercase). So it probably won't
find anything, and $cpu2 will be blank.


If you do want to use an extension script for this, I'd suggest
sending in the status message like this:

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` - $STATUS Used CPU: $USED_CPU"

i.e. split it on two lines, and have just the "Used CPU: X"
on a line by itself. Then your feeder script should be

     cpu2=grep "^Used CPU:" $FNAME | awk '{ print $3 }'


However, there's a simpler way of getting the same result.
Assuming you already have the vmstat data - e.g. from the Hobbit
client, or by running the BB client with the LARRD add-on - you can leverage those data and generate the same graph by changing the [la] graph definition in your hobbitgraph.cfg
to this:

[la]
        TITLE CPU Utilitization
        YAXIS % Used
        -u 100
        -r
        DEF:cpu_idl=vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl:AVERAGE
        CDEF:pbusy=100,cpu_idl,-
        LINE2:pbusy#00CC00:% CPU busy
        GPRINT:pbusy:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
        GPRINT:pbusy:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
        GPRINT:pbusy:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
        GPRINT:pbusy:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n

This determines the CPU busy percentage as (100 - idle %).


Regards,
Henrik

So i took your simpler way of getting the graph, however then i realized that the alerts that were being generated were still based on load -- is there any way to configure hobbit to turn red/yellow based on cpu utilization % rather than load?

thanks again for all your help, your dedication to OSS is inspiring!
