bb-nfs-client.sh (script in ext)
list Thomas Leavitt
I'm trying to get this running, so that I can monitor the NFS status of
various hosts, and I'm getting the same error that everyone else (except
T.J. Yang on Solaris) seems to be getting... all the servers are
reported as being down.
I'm also not seeing the "nfs" column appear in the Hobbit home page, and
when I click "history" by going directly to the NFS page (which
indicates that the script is at least executing, although it produces no
log file output), I get "Cannot open history file" as well.
But, primarily, I'd just like to get this to work properly, first. I can
probably stumble through the process of debugging the script, but if
anyone else can clue me in, I'd appreciate it.
Client is running CentOS 4.6, patched and up to date.
This is my clientlaunch.cfg entry:
[bb-nfs]
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-nfs-client.sh
LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-nfs-client.log
INTERVAL 5m
I've created a blank "bb-def.sh" and put it in the "etc" directory.
Thanks in advance.

For those who might care in the future: I got bb-nfs-client.sh working on RHEL/CentOS 4/5 (plus a couple of Fedora and RH9 boxes) by ripping out everything related to monitoring the size of NFS mounted filesystems, which I could care less about... there's other code that does exactly that. I also had to add some environment variables that were not getting properly set (BBHOME, PING. BBOSTYPE), as far as I could tell. All I care about is whether the NFS mounts are available and not producing errors. I'd be happy to share my stripped down version with anyone who cares in the future, if so, send me an email a user-22bea179a13a@xymon.invalid. Thomas

Note: I am NOT a master programmer. This could probably be done more elegantly by someone with a client. For instance, the reference to bbdef.sh can probably be deleted completely, and any remaining references to filesystem monitoring could also be purged. After three hours of amateur hacking to get it working, I didn't care about anything but that the thing reported correctly! Attached are two files. 1. bb-test-envs.sh, which basically takes the hobbitclient.cfg environment variables and puts them into a korn shell script that loads them into your shell environment so that you can test a script on the command line. 2. a modified version of the bb-nfs-client.sh from deadcat.net - all I've done is add three variables to the beginning (apparently not present in the standard Hobbit environment) so that the script would execute properly, and then rip out EVERYTHING that appears to be related to monitoring the size of NFS filesystems, since all I care about is whether they are available or not (script produced red icons when I took down our NFS appliance for maintenance the other day and the recovered to green when it went back up, so it appears to work). Not sure why it insisted on executing that code when the configuration bit in the original was defaulted to not monitor it, but oh well. I'd be happy to post these to the Shire at some point. I just don't have the time to figure that out (working 12-16 hours a day for the past few days) at this point. Hope this helps someone else get this working with less grief. Regards, Thomas Leavitt
