No Procs Graph?

Hi Folks,

I am new to Hobbit and noticed that when you drill down to a device's procs information, there is no graph but the magnifying glass shows up as if a graph should be there.  I've looked through so many man pages, wiki entries, FAQs, etc. trying to figure this out that my head is spinning! And when I go to the Hobbit demo site and drill down to http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=voodoo.hswn.dk&SERVICE=procs and http://hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=sarge&SERVICE=procs, the procs graphs don't show up there either.  So, have I been wasting my time trying to make that graph work or is there some magical trick that a master is willing to reveal to me?

Any/all help will be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi !

  You needs somthing like this in your hobb-client.cfg

PROC firefox 0 -1 TRACK=firefox

http://hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html

The optional TRACK=id setting causes Hobbit to track the number of 
processes found in an RRD file, and put this into a graph which is shown 
on the "procs" status display. The id setting is a simple text string 
which will be used as the legend for the graph, and also as part of the 
RRD filename. It is recommended that you use only letters and digits for 
the ID.


Cheers,

        Martin

Ann,
 
The procs page will graph anything you want to count.  You enable this
with the TRACK keyword in (I think) the hobbit-clients.cfg file.  
 
For example:
 
HOST=somehost
    PROC httpd TRACK=Apache
 
Would lead to a graph showing the number of processes containing "httpd"
in their name, graphed as "Apache".
 
If you want graphs about particular processes (memory usage, CPU, etc.)
you are out of luck in this version of Hobbit, although you could
probably invent something that would read through the process listings
returned by the Hobbit clients and have them update RRD's and then set
up graph definitions.  This would be a lot of work, and might overload
the poor Hobbit server depending on how many clients you are monitoring.

Hi Martin and Greg,

Thanks for the reply/suggestion but I do have the TRACK=<id> in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.  Below is a snippet of the file:

HOST=wdcacs9.ca.kp.org,silacs9.ssdc.kp.org,coracs9.crdc.kp.org,ndcacs1.nndc.kp.org,ndcacs2.nndc.kp.org

        PROC CSDBSync.exe 1 1 red TRACK=csdbsync
        PROC CSLog.exe 1 1 red TRACK=cslog
        PROC CSMon.exe 1 1 red TRACK=csmon
        PROC CSRAdius.exe 1 1 red TRACK=csradius
        PROC CSTacacs.exe 1 1 red TRACK=cstacacs

        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h

The hosts that I am monitoring are Windows 2003 servers.  I am running BBwin on those servers in local mode.  Below is the BBwin.cfg file from one of the servers (this cfg file is the same on all of them):

Hi !

 You needs somthing like this in your hobb-client.cfg

PROC firefox 0 -1 TRACK=firefox

http://hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html

The optional TRACK=id setting causes Hobbit to track the number of

on the "procs" status display. The id setting is a simple text string
which will be used as the legend for the graph, and also as part of the
