hobbitfetch / pulldata doesn't work 🔗 link

Hi,

Here is my problem : I have configured several hobbit clients located in
DMZ, all works very well but any information are displayed on the Hobbit web
interface.
I have already two others servers in this configuration and they both work
very well :
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/02/msg00067.html
but not this one : *strange*


Check my all configuration :

CLIENT SIDE :

*Configure.client*

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon
Checking your make-utility
Xymon normally keeps all of the client configuration files
on the Xymon server. If you prefer, it is possible to use
a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer
'client' to the next question.
NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host.
Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ?

Could you please help me to find out why 2 servers work fine and the last

  Thanks by advance,

This would be your problem, I think.  If this really is a client, it needs
to have the address of the hobbit/xymon server in BBDISP.  What you've got
is 'localhost' - you've told the client installation to talk to itself, not
to the server...

Hello Ralph
In this case, I use "hobbitfetch" mode e.g: The hobbit server grab itself
the data instead of the client send the data to the server.
(and not client which send your configuration).

This mode appropriate for dmz which allow only incoming connexion from the
Lan.

Do you have other idea on my problem ??? Why I have any data on hobbit
server ???

Thanks by advance

Hi Naudit,

i had the same issues with the Xymon client 4.2.0 for AIX 5.3. The msgcache
was exiting with an IOT/Abort trap when receiving messages. The following
patch to msgcache.c fixes this problem:

 <                                       char idx[20];

                                      char idx[40];

Thank You Cayo de moraes, I apply your patch on hobbit.4.2.3, but without
success.  I have the same error.
I use Ubuntu Jaunty...

OK I have find the solution. On my others hosts I have installed client
version 4.2.0.
I tested with version xymon-4.2.3.tar.gz (beta) and xymon-4.2.2.tar.gz but
don't work, It was my problems !!!
Now I have installed this version hobbit-4.2.0.tar.gz, and work it very well


/!\  Why the news versions of Xymon doesn't work in this mode ???

Thank you for your help.

Regards.
