Problems starting snapshot install...

Hello -

I downloaded the latest snapshot tonight and was able to compile and
install it.  I am running into a problem starting it however.  When I
execute the hobbit.sh start (or restart) it appears to execute
correctly however nothing appears on the website.  In looking through
the logs I found the following:

2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading hostnames
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Loading saved state
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up signal handlers
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Setting up hobbitd channels
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Could not attach shm Too many open files
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Cannot setup client channel
2005-08-10 07:06:17 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1

Any ideas?

I was afraid something like that might happen - the latest snapshots
increase the max. size of messages that Hobbit can handle to acommodate
some of the larger messages that clients may send.

You need to tweak a kernel tuning parameter for your Mac OS X / Darwin
kernel. From a bit of googling it seems this is done very much like the
way you'd do it on FreeBSD - i.e. using the "sysctl" tool.

Could you try running (as "root" or whatever that's called on Darwin):

   for P in shmall shmmni shmmax; do sysctl kern.ipc.$P; done

and also the "ipcs -m" command to list the current shared memory 
segments.

That apparently doesn't work on FreeBSD's ksh .. if it fails, use this
instead:

   sysctl kern.ipc.shmmni
   sysctl kern.ipc.shmall
   sysctl kern.ipc.shmmax

Bob,

You didn't specify your OS, but I had the same problem on Solaris 8,
with hobbitd failing during a shmat() call with return code 24 (EMFILE),
which under IPC means "too many shared memory segments" rather than "too
many files". I found out that Solaris (several versions) limits the
number of shm segments a process can attach to by default to 6. Since
hobbitd now needs 7 of them, you'll need to raise this system-wide limit
by tuning the shmseg parameter in /etc/system, e.g.

set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=7

The /etc/system file only gets read during a reboot. Related parameters
are shmmin, shmmax, and shmmni. Hope this points in the right direction,
even if you are not using Solaris.

I have used BB for 5 years now, but am building a new hoBBit server
currently.  I am just trying to get the pre-reqs in place and am having
problems with RRDtool because of a dependency it has on Freetype 2.  I have
posted a question to the freetype mailing list but maybe someone knows here
as well.  I am running Solaris 8 and trying to compile freetype 2.1.9.  I am
getting this error doing the configure:

checking for egrep... configure: error: no acceptable egrep could be found
in $PATH
make: *** [builds/unix/unix-def.mk] Error 1

There are are two egrep commands in $PATH, I am not sure why it is
complaining unless by default neither of them do what it wants.  I don't
know of a newer or better egrep though to get.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Have you thought about just getting the pecompiled packages?  It may be 
easier.  I only compile when I have to.

http://sunfreeware.com/indexsparc8.html

freetype is available.

Regardless, perhaps your configure cannot find 'egrep' because it's not 
in your PATH?

I must admit I took the easy way out and just installed a load of
packages from the sunfreeware.com site a couple of months ago when I 
had to setup a Hobbit server on Solaris 8.

Here's the list of packages I used (not all of them needed for Hobbit,
but I sure do prefer bash to ksh...):

Ok I have everything installed and my bb-hosts file migrated over.
Everything seems to be working except for one thing.  I can not get any of
the scripts in cgi-bin to run.  

Hobbitserver.cfg says
BBSERVERCGIURL="/hobbit-cgi"      
BBSERVERSECURECGIURL="/hobbit-cgi"

The cgi directory is /export/home/bb/cgi-bin and this was added to my
httpd.conf file:

ScriptAlias /hobbit-cgi/ "/export/home/bb/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/export/home/bb/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI Includes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

If I try to just browse to that directory I get permission denied and any
scripts I try and call I get:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

The web page comes up fine with the alias I used for it.  Any ideas what
would be causing the CGI stuff to not work?

Oh yeah Solaris 2.8 and Apache 2.0.54

Thanks

Ok I worked the other issue out, it seems user nobody was not picking up the
libraries for libpcre and a couple of other things.  Now I can get the cgi
stuff to work, but when I click on specific things for a host I get status
not available on a white page for all of them.  I did a search for this
error and didn't find anything.

What's in your webserver error-logs ? While you're at it, see if there
are any ominous-sounding messages in the Hobbit logfiles in
/var/log/hobbit/ .


What happens if you run

/export/home/bb/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh

I get a coredump, if that SHOULD be URI like you had I thought it was a typo
I get this:

There is now a cigerror.log file and it contains these lines which only
occurred from my testing it didn't exist before:

2005-08-10 16:03:49 hobbitsvc xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable

2005-08-10 16:09:05 hobbitsvc Whoops ! bb failed to send message -
Connection failed

The other log files have nothing new in them for the last 6 hours.

error_log for apache just has the following in it:

[Wed Aug 10 12:19:27 2005] [error] [client 131.146.38.100] File does not

[Wed Aug 10 15:10:10 2005] [error] [client 131.146.38.100] File does not
exist: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/favicon.ico


Hopefully this will shed some light on it.  The only thing I see is that
connection failed to bbd.

Thanks much

Well it cleared up on a server reboot somehow.  Maybe I had the ENV wrong at
some point when I started hobbit.

Henrik I found emails in the mail archive about there being no hardware
groups anymore.  Your code so you do it like you want. :)  You mentioned a
script that would convert your bbwarnsetup.cfg file, but I do not see that
in archive you can resend it or repost it or is there are repository for
this kind of stuff like deadcat?

The last part of the HOSTSVC value is the column-name. Do you have
a "comm" column ? Or should it be "conn" - with an 'n' ? I think so.

There is now a cigerror.log file and it contains these lines which only
occurred from my testing it didn't exist before:
2005-08-10 16:09:05 hobbitsvc connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
2005-08-10 16:09:05 hobbitsvc Whoops ! bb failed to send message -
Connection failed
It looks like the CGI script fails to pick up the Hobbit environment
setting that defines the IP of the Hobbit server. This is taken from
the BBDISP setting in the hobbitserver.cfg.

Try making the cgierror.log file writable by your webserver user-id,
that should make any errors from the real requests show up in that
file.

Possibly. Still weird though.

Henrik I found emails in the mail archive about there being no hardware
groups anymore.  Your code so you do it like you want. :)  You mentioned a
script that would convert your bbwarnsetup.cfg file, but I do not see that
in archive you can resend it or repost it or is there are repository for
this kind of stuff like deadcat?
"hardware groups" ? Perhaps you mean "host groups" - the "hg-something"
in BB's bbwarnsetup.cfg ?

I dug around my mail-archive and found it - attached. This is actually
a more advanced version than the one I mentioned in the archived mail,
but I dont think I ever really did test it, so beware ... in the end 
it just turned out to be easier to rewrite a new hobbit-alerts config
from scratch.

What if you want to just send one alert after waiting 10 minutes and no
more?  Can you have two durations on one rule? Such as DURATION > 10
DURATION < 15.  When I tried that it did not seem to work.

Also, this is working correctly but I am trying to find the setting for
this.  I get an alert on a purple and red, and by alert I mean an email I
have setup in the alerts file.  I do NOT get one on a yellow, though the
webpage is updated for the yellow alarm.  Where is this setting.  I thought
to find it in hobbitserver.cfg but all I see there are PAGELEVELS and all 3
colors are listed in it.

Thanks again
Wes

Leave out the spaces - it should work.

It is the PAGELEVELS setting that defines which colors can trigger an
alert, combined with the rules in hobbit-alerts.cfg.

I'll try it out and see if something's broken.
