BBWin problems

Hello all,

 
I am currently testing BBWin and I have some problems. The bb-hostsvc.sh
script returns an error:

 
Query string: bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=emarganne.bbwin&SERVICE=info

Results: Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh

 
Beside that it does not display the other information like CPU, disk,...
just like the BBWin client was not sending properly the information (and I
am sure the bbdisplay is well configured, so is the registry key) or the
information were misinterpreted by the server. Is there something to do on
the server side (besides adding the new client in bb-hosts) to make it work
with BBWin?

 
Thank you for any help on that topic.

I had no problem using the BBWin client. Just install it on the machine,
adapt the bbwin.cfg file and start the service. No change in bb-hosts
needed...

B.t.w: The hostname in your query (HOST=emarganne.bbwin ) looks a little
bit strange to me. Here is a sample query for a windows machine in my
environment:
http://my-hobbit-server/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=adm02&SERVICE=info

What does look strange? The use of some kind of FQDN? I have read that there
could be problems with BBWin clients and FQDN... I am right? Is there a
solution?

Thank in advance.

In the past I had a problem with a client not appearing on the Hobbit
display even the client sends his data to the server. The reason was the
hostname of the client (FQDN) and the entry in the server bb-hosts file
(no FQDN). After inserting the tag CLIENT:<HOSTNAME> into the bb-hosts
the problem was gone. Is your machine listed in the ghost report?

I think what he's getting at is the fact that you have .bbwin on the end so are you operating on the .bbwin domain? With bbwin you can specify the hostname by adding:

<setting name="hostname" value="FQDN" />

But by default it only uses the computer name.  (maybe you can use %hostname%.domain I don't know, I use a cmd file to generate the bbwin.cfg so I don't have to type in each and every hostname.

OK Here is my configuration at this point:

In the config file: 
<setting name="hostname" value="lielap28.eu.tiauto.com">

In the registry:
lielap28.eu.tiauto.com

In bb-hosts:
0.0.0.0	lielap28.eu.tiauto.com	# conn

lielap28.eu.tiauto.com is the FQDN of the machine where BBWin is installed.
And it still does not work

Using the format
In bb-hosts:

0.0.0.0	HOSTNAME (without domain)	# ssh

the browser asks where to save bb-hostsvc.sh

Link-address: .../hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=hobbitzone&SERVICE=info
Alt-text of the link is: info:green:0.0.0.0

I've already compared with another hobbit-server's configuration, but found no differences.

The mailing-list archive did not help (perhaps wrong search term?!).

When entering the IP-address instead of 0.0.0.0 (in bb-hosts) it works fine...

Any ideas?

It's the same with the windows-client and unix-clients. I think this is not a BBWin/client specific problem.

Looks like a wrong configuration(?!), but I don't know exactly what the problem is... No hints in the logs.

If you do download it, then what's in the file - a shell script, or 
an HTML document ?

If it's a shell script, then your cgi directories are not seen as such,
and you're just getting the shell script sent back to you as a plain
file. If it's an HTML document, then the CGI program runs and generates
the correct response - in that case, I suspect that your webserver
doesn't provide the right Content-type header, although the Hobbit CGI
programs all try their best to set this correctly.

If you've got something like "curl" installed then running 
   curl -i http://hobbit-cgi/..... |more
will show you the headers sent by the webserver. If you dont have that,
then you can just telnet to the webserver on port 80, and send it
   GET http://hobbit-cgi/.....

But why does it work when I use the correct IP address in bb-hosts-file?

Links in the trends column also work fine (Link-alt-text is: trends:green: - without 0.0.0.0).

When a download the file there is NOTHING in it; size 0k.

This is reported from time to time - usually with the "client data"
links.

First check that your webserver has the hobbit-cgi directory configured
as a "CGI" directory, i.e. it will run the bb-hostsvc.sh program rather
than just downloading the shell script. If the bb-hostsvc.sh CGI works
for some links but not for others, then that is not your problem.

In that case, it probably is a problem with the browser. If you do save 
the data to a file, I think you'll see that it is a perfectly valid HTML 
document that's been sent. Since the data sent from your webserver to
your browser is HTML, and the webserver also sends a valid
"content-type" header, your browser should present it as an HTML page, 
instead of asking you to save it.

Internet Explorer seems prone to this in some setups, whereas I haven't
heard of it being an issue with Firefox. I suspect it is some security
setting inside IE that triggers it - or perhaps it's just a bug.

As an example, this link
  http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=localhost&SERVICE=info
is the "info" column page for a host with no domain name and a 0.0.0.0
address in bb-hosts. Does that work in your browser?

Sorry, I just read the other mails in this thread that you get a
"Premature end of script headers ..." which is an indication that the
bb-hostsvc.sh CGI crashed.

So - time to debug this. On your Hobbit server, run these commands:

    ulimit -c unlimited
    QUERY_STRING="HOST=YOURHOSTNAME&SERVICE=info"
    REQUEST_METHOD=GET
    SCRIPT_NAME="bb-hostsvc.sh"
    export QUERY_STRING REQUEST_METHOD SCRIPT_NAME
    ~hobbit/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh

Supposedly, this will crash - the last few linies it writes before the crash 
are interesting. 

Hopefully, it will also dump a core file in your current directory.
Analyse this with gdb:

    gdb ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi ./core

Hello Etienne,

Could you post your bbwin.cfg file ? Your hostname config looks good
but may be something is wrong somewhere else.

You should check in the event viewer if there are any error from
bbwin. Also, check that there are any firewall issues between your
host and your hobbit server (with telnet or bbwincmd).


Etienne.

OK Here is my configuration at this point:

In the config file:
<setting name="hostname" value="lielap28.eu.tiauto.com">

In the registry:
lielap28.eu.tiauto.com

In bb-hosts:
0.0.0.0 lielap28.eu.tiauto.com  # conn

lielap28.eu.tiauto.com is the FQDN of the machine where BBWin is installed.
And it still does not work

Thanks

I think what he's getting at is the fact that you have .bbwin on the end so
are you operating on the .bbwin domain? With bbwin you can specify the
hostname by adding:

<setting name="hostname" value="FQDN" />

But by default it only uses the computer name.  (maybe you can use
%hostname%.domain I don't know, I use a cmd file to generate the bbwin.cfg
so I don't have to type in each and every hostname.

I see the problem.

Change :
<setting name="mode" value="central" />

to

<setting name="mode" value="local" />


Then every thing should work. Then, customize the rules of the
different agents to trigger alerts. Take a look at the bbwin.cfg
example under the doc folder and the bbwin documentation guide.

central mode is implemented in BBWin but the hobbit server part which
parse the data from bbwin is not ready, so you have to use the local
mode which send status instead of clientdata message.

Sorry, I just read the other mails in this thread that you get a
"Premature end of script headers ..." which is an indication that the
bb-hostsvc.sh CGI crashed.

So - time to debug this. On your Hobbit server, run these commands:

    ulimit -c unlimited
    QUERY_STRING="HOST=YOURHOSTNAME&SERVICE=info"
    REQUEST_METHOD=GET
    SCRIPT_NAME="bb-hostsvc.sh"
    export QUERY_STRING REQUEST_METHOD SCRIPT_NAME
    ~hobbit/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh

Supposedly, this will crash - the last few linies it writes before the crash

are interesting. 

Hopefully, it will also dump a core file in your current directory.
Analyse this with gdb:

    gdb ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi ./core
and at the (gdb) prompt type the "bt" command:
    (gdb) bt

and send me the output.

this is what I understood. And "local" was for the Big Brother kind of

Does the HOSTNAME resolve in DNS ? Hobbit will attempt to perform a DNS
lookup on the hostname when the IP is set to 0.0.0.0 .

Are there any errors for the request in your apache error-log ?
Sorry, I just read the other mails in this thread that you get a
"Premature end of script headers ..." which is an indication that the
bb-hostsvc.sh CGI crashed.

So - time to debug this. On your Hobbit server, run these commands:

    ulimit -c unlimited
    QUERY_STRING="HOST=YOURHOSTNAME&SERVICE=info"
    REQUEST_METHOD=GET
    SCRIPT_NAME="bb-hostsvc.sh"
    export QUERY_STRING REQUEST_METHOD SCRIPT_NAME
    ~hobbit/cgi-bin/bb-hostsvc.sh

Supposedly, this will crash - the last few linies it writes before the crash

are interesting. 

Hopefully, it will also dump a core file in your current directory.
Analyse this with gdb:

    gdb ~hobbit/server/bin/hobbitsvc.cgi ./core
and at the (gdb) prompt type the "bt" command:
    (gdb) bt

and send me the output.


Regards,
Henrik
