to test the non-existence of a dir

Hi,

Xymon allow me to test the non existence of file or directory. But I'd 
like a more complex test. In my case, I don't want any directory named 
_FIXED_PART_anything in a whole tree.
Example :

I've
/toto/_FIXED_PART_1 -> test is red
/toto/a/sub/directory/_FIXED_PART_hello_world -> test is red

So, is there a "normal" way to use "files"  test included in xymon ?

Regards,
Damien

Off the top of my head I think you want something like,

if {-d /this/subdir}
echo BBVAR=green
else
echo BBVAR=red

I'm sure I'm missing a lot, not looking at it right now.  Pretty sure -d
tests directories.

A shell script should look like this :

find $TREE -type d -name _FIXED_PART_\*
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
    BBVAR=red
else
    BBVAR=green
fi

But i prefer to use integrated "files" test

Hi,

hm, first was comes in mind (not tested):

- use a find command in client-local.cfg, like
'find / -name "*_FIXED_PART_1*" |'
- use a regex along with noexist in hobbit-clients.cfg, like:
FILE %.*_FIXED_PART_1.* red noexist

That should do the trick...

Hi all,

I'd like to use iostat for performance monitoring, and include its output in the Hobbit pages.
I've found an old post about it, but it seems that the URL mentioned there (http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/LinuxIostatGraphs) is no longer valid.
Any ideas where I can get it?

Thanks,

Harald

Hi,

two remarks:

Did you use backticks (`) around the command?
And, I made a mistake with the "|", this is not necessary.

So, the right format for the entry in client-local.cfg is:

file:`find / -type d -name "*_FIXED_PART_*"`

(refer to the manpage of client-local.cfg for it)

HTH,

Hi,

nice that you got it, :-).
You had to wait a little because of the inner communication flow of Hobbit:
When a client for which you've updated client-local.cfg connects the server to send its report, the server tells the client that there's a new part in client-local.cfg for it.
The client downloads the new config, and applies it to its local configuration, which is read in the NEXT run of the client.
So, it can take something between 10 and 20 mins (two poll cylces) before you get the new report.
@Hobbit-gurus: I hope I haven't mixed up things in this description, :-)

Hi Stef,

This server patch, is it included in Xymon 4.3.2 for example? If not,
which version does include this patch?

I've found an old post about it, but it seems that the URL mentioned

no longer valid.
Any ideas where I can get it?

For further reference, I added some Redirect statements so all references to
 twiki and/or Hobbit are redirected to /foswiki/bin/view/Xymon

If I'm not mistaken, it is include in the lates xymon release.
To be sure, unpack the source and if you find a file do_trends.c, the patch is 
ok.

BTW, I added a diskio test in the devmon linux-netsnmp test a while back, which can give you per-block-device graphs of disk IO operations (IOPS) and (with the last two commits I just made today)  bandwidth (in Bps).

I didn't want to advertise it earlier, but I validated the data today on a production system, and it looks correct ....

Hi Martin,

thanks for the link (and thanks to the programmer of linux-iostat), I've installed it (with some additions/changes, see below) as described, and it works and shows what I need, :-).
I attach my version of the script to this mail, since I made some edits:

1. Added my "preamble" which I use in every extension script:

===============/snip/======================
my $TEST = "iostat";
(...)
my $HOST = $ENV{"MACHINE"};
$HOST =~ s/(.*),.*,.*$/$1/;
if (system("$ENV{'BBHOME'}/bin/bbhostgrep $TEST | grep $HOST > /dev/null 2>&1") != 0) {
    print "Not running on $HOST..." if $debug;
    exit 0;
}
==============/snap/========================

With this, I can have the same scripts and config files on all systems (helps to keep things up2date), and just add the appr. entry (in this case, iostat) to the host part in bb-hosts ti run the script on a particular host.

2. Cleaned up the regex a bit
3. As we're using drbd (DistributedRemoteBlockDevice, often used with Linux-HA), I added "drbd" to the devices list.

Maybe someone can use my version, or get some ideas from it.

Hi, Harald !

thanks for the hint with drdb !

Hmm, .. but dont't understand your "preamble",
if i use your script, it seem's that the script think,
that it's serverside-script ... ;-)

[it-hobbit2] /usr/lib/hobbit/client # bin/bbcmd ext/new_linux-iostat.pl
2009-04-06 23:56:55 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
2009-04-06 23:56:55 Cannot load bb-hosts, or file is empty
Not running on it-hobbit2...

[it-hobbit2] /usr/lib/hobbit/client #

.. but it isn't one ...

What's is missing in my enviroment ?

Hi Martin,

in our setup, we have a complete copy of the bb-hosts file on all clients in $BBCLIENTHOME/etc, which we use to control which external client script should run on which client.
We have pre-compiled clients for all systems on the Hobbit server, including all config files, which are stored as tarballs.
When I'm setting up a new client, I just add the appr. lines in the server's bb-hosts file, copy the new bb-hosts to the tarballs (we're planning to use something like rcsvi in the future to automate this step), and then execute a script on the server which uses scp and ssh to contact the new client, copy the tarball, untar it and start the client.
Hope this sheds some light on the preamble, :-).
