Sending Hobbit data from one server to another
list Gary Baluha
Here's the situation. I have one Hobbit server that is on our DMZ segment, and another that is on our internal LAN segment. There are several hosts that are monitored from the DMZ hobbit server, which are unreachable (due to network policy) by the internal hobbit server. What would be the best way (if any) to merge the status of the DMZ hobbit to the internal hobbit? That is, I would like to create a sub-page on the internal hobbit server that shows essentially a mirror of the hobbit status page for the DMZ server.

Can you use the second hobbit server a proxy/relay? I think hobbit can support that.... bbrelay maybe?

There's the bbproxy command I was looking at, but I'm not sure from the man page if that will accomplish what I want.

All, We have hobbit and devmon deployed and running for the last 8 months with no problems, then all of a sudden devmon stops reporting to hobbit. It casuses hobbit to turn purple. The devmon process seems to be still running, it just stops reporting to hobbit. If we stop and start the devmon process, its ok for 4 or 5 days and dies again. Any one else having this issue? No changes were made to the server, it just came out of the blue. Thanks, michael

Hi Vernon, swap -l does not include swap space in the form of physical memory (RAM), but swap -s does. Look at swap(1M) man page for details. Hobbit uses swap -s to report values for the memory column. The Swap "Total" column sums "used" and "available" values, thus (2335424k + 8006816k)/1024 = 10100M. Note taht the top utility for Solaris 10 also uses swap -l to report memory statistics. Dominique

Yes, mine had been doing it since .3.0 and its still doing it on 0.3.0 beta 4, I haven't had chance to put rc1 on yet. I've had to use a cron job to keep restarting it every night to keep it reporting, apart from one server which I find has died again in the night. Adding more verbose doesn't seem to help either.

We have had the same issue. At this time we stop and restart it every 30 minutes. We use to do every 15 minutes, but the rc1 seems to be doing better. I will slowly adjust to higher in between times over the next few weeks and let everyone know what I find. I also find that after you stop Devmon, sleep for 15 secs and then do a pkill to finish off any remaining processes. Tom

As I answered on the devmon list, I had two identical (software-wise) servers running devmon, one showed this behaviour, one did not. The one showing this behaviour reports via a bbproxy on the same server to the hobbitd on the other server. At this stage (I haven't had any time to investigate further) I'm suspecting that a feature Eric added between 0.2.2 and 0.3.0beta2, which avoids alerting on devmon tests on servers that are down (checked via the status of the 'conn' test) may not play as well with bbproxy. One other user with this problem reported that their devmon also talks to a bbproxy. More information from other people seeing the issue may help narrow it without looking at the code (which I hope to have a chance for today or tomorrow). Regards, Buchan

So far I'm having hobbit page me so that I can shutdown devmon, make sure it's dead, then restart it. I do this manually so that I can get a sense of when it's failing. I noticed that I was getting a lot of errors about an undefined variable in the log even after devmon goes purple, so I did a little looking around and found where the undefined variable was trying to be referenced in SNMP_Session.pm. I then put a debug message in SNMP_Session.pm so that When the failure happens I get a lot of log messages: response_community is undefined, bailing out of receive_response_3 at /path/to/devmon/modules/dm_snmp.pm line 469 This error can appear without devmon going purple, but it is always present when devmon has crapped out. -- S i m e o n B e r k l e y Systems Engineer Mcclatchy Interactive

We upgrade devmon to 0.3.0rc1 as well and we were good for a couple days until it went purple again. We changed our cronjob to be every 15 minutes and are ok now. We have no updates for you as of this point yet. Sorry, michael On 3/5/08 9:41 AM, "Whilding, Craig" <user-9ce31bfa66c3@xymon.invalid> wrote:
I've discovered something with this purple problem. If the module that parses hobbit client data isn't running then devmon seems to remain fine. Basically on one of our servers that runs a proxy sending data to localhost and our main server one of the modules has died so that no linux client data gets to the local display. Haven't quite worked out what will have died yet as I need to run a diff with another box to check the dead channel but whatever it was it seems to be the service that devmon disagreed with. Any progress on debugging what devmon code causes the problem in the first place? I can leave this broken for now on mine as the local display is only a backup if the wan link fails.

bbrpoxy works fine but I do not understand the comment for [bbproxy]
in habbitlaunch.cfg
# "bbproxy" is the Hobbit proxy server that allows you to forward
status messages
# from a protected network to your Hobbit server. It is not enabled by default,
# since it would conflict with the hobbitd task.
# If you need to run this, then disabled hobbitd and the hobbitd-modules
# above, then enable this. Make sure you enter the IP-address of your
# Hobbit server in the command-line, so that the proxy knows where to forward
# status messages.
[bbproxy]
ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd
--bbdisplay=real.hobbit.server.ip --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy
--no-daemon
--pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.log
It says disable hobbitd and hobbit-modules above. I did. So how about
the hobbitd-modules like [bbdisplay], [bbcombotest],
[bbnet], [bbretest], [hobbitclient]. All those are below [bbproxy] and
needs hobbitd to run. So do I disable them?
If I do then how do I send the connectivity (ping test) report or
start the hobbitclient without installing a separate client for the
server?
So few things needs to be cleared by someone who already using bbproxy
for same scenario that Gary Bahula, the OP of this email, drew.
Thanks

So I am still struggling with this idea. How would I have bbproxy server do bbnet test as well? To run bbrpoxy you have to disable hobbitd, but to do bbnet test hobbitd needs to be running. What a catch 22! Anyone figured that out yet?

Did you read my reply in the other thread? 1)Run hobbitd on a different port 2)Run bbproxy on the usual hobbit port (1984), and have it proxy to the local hobbit running on a different port, and the remote hobbitd on the usual port 3)Run bbnet as usual See my other mail for configuration details.

Hi,
In the past I struggled the same. Here is a summary what I did to make it work:
Situation:
Before:
- Local hobbit listens on 10.15.xxx.xxx port 1984
- Local clients sends messages to IP 10.15.xxx.xxx port 1984
With bbproxy:
- Local hobbit listens on 127.0.0.1 port 1984
- Local bbproxy listens on 10.15.xxx.xxx port 1984
- Local clients sends messages to IP 10.15.xxx.xxx port 1984 (bbproxy)
- bbproxy forwards incoming messages to 127.0.0.1 port 1984 AND to remote hobbit (10.170.xxx.xxx) port 1984
This is what needs to be changed on the local hobbit sever:
- Add a --listen=127.0.0.1 to hobbitd in hobbitlaunch.cfg on local hobbit
- Enable bbproxy on local hobbit in hobbitlaunch.cfg. Use the option "--bbdisplay=127.0.0.1,10.170.xxx.xxx" to tell bbproxy to forward to both server and add --listen 10.15.xxx.xxx so it will listen on this IP for incoming messages
- Change the BBSERVERIP setting in hobbitserver.cfg to point at the 127.0.0.1 address.
This setting is used e.g. by the web CGI's that talk to the "real" hobbit server, so it is best to point this at the real server IP, not the proxy.
- Because there are also running network tests from the same server, we need to change the CMD setting of [bbnet] in hobbitlaunch.cfg also.
Instead of calling bbtest-net directly, put it into a shell script wrapper and set BBDISPLAY explicitly to 10.15.xxx.xxx. Otherwise it will pick up the BBSERVERIP setting (127.0.0.1) and send the network test results to 127.0.0.1 - so they won't go through the proxy, and hence you won't see them on the remote server.
- Restart Hobbit
From the hobbitlaunch.cfg on the local hobbit server:

One other thing to add. To make sure you do not have both servers network testing the same hosts you should look up the NET:location variable for bb-hosts. If you use this on the main server you can specify only to network test the servers local to it and not the remote servers, these would be tested by the remote hobbit server that forwards the data. Hope this helps. Regards, Craig

The proxy server is on internal network. It can talk to master hobbit

Hmm.. I did exactly like your config above and I am getting
hobbit at ghar:/var/log/hobbit$ tail bbproxy.log
2008-03-10 10:33:22 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)
I guess it is safer to go with port instead of IP.
I wish there are some official doc on it

Did you restart all of Hobbit after changing BBSERVERIP etc. ? Have you verified that the Hobbit environment gets the right $BBDISP ? E.g. with: [proxy:~]# su - hobbit -s /bin/bash [hobbit at proxy ~]$ ./server/bin/bbcmd bash 2008-03-10 17:24:58 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg [hobbit at proxy ~]$ echo $BBDISP w.x.y.z (where w.x.y.z is the IP of the display server) ? Sorry, but there is nothing magical here, no magic undocumented feature, you put the components together as documented in their man pages, and mostly things just work. Figuring out why your setup works is (from the error messages in your logs) mostly figuring out why what you have done does not result in the various components doing what you think you have configured them to do. If the Hobbit clients (e.g. bbtest-net) are getting connection refused, to me it looks either like typos in your real configurations, or network the required network access not working, not a shortcoming of Hobbit (or the documentation).

Well, each should be on a dedicated IP+port combination. If you don't have a dedicated IP, then using an alternative port is sufficient. Or, if you need the proxy to listen on more than one IP (thus 0.0.0.0), then you have to use a different port. Regards, Buchan

In my case 127.0.0.1 is the ip of the display server with port 1984. The proxy is running on the external ip of the server and port 1984. I could probably change it so that the server runs only on the external ip with different ports but my method has been working fine for the past couple of years. The network tests needed sending to the proxy which is running on the external ip instead of internal so that's why the change was needed there. This config is probably in the list archive from a couple of years ago now when it was first suggested. Its getting rebuilt soon though so I might try different port settings instead. Thanks, Craig
