dns query load? 🔗 link

I'd like to monitor the number of dns queries hitting my external DNS
servers.  there is a bb script that supposedly does this - bb-dns-load,
but I'd like to know if anyone has got it working with the hobbit
client.

Hi,

I use the dnsload script with hobbit.

Here's a crontab entry :

*/5 *   * * *   root    /usr/local/hobbit/client/ext/bbdl-roll.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

I also modified bbdl-roll to change the location of tmp files, because
ext/ didn't look good to me :

in bbdl-roll.sh :

BB_EXT=/usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp

in bbdl-stats.sh, replace all "$BBHOME/ext" with "$BBHOME/tmp".

Wait a few cycles so the statistics initialize, and then add bbdl-stats
to clientlaunch.cfg.

For the server-side grapher, I use :

NCV_dnsload="Queryrate:GAUGE,*:NONE"

[dnsload]
        DEF:q=dnsload.rrd:Queryrate:AVERAGE
        TITLE DNS queries rate
        YAXIS queries/second
        -l 0
        AREA:q#00ff00:queries/sec
        GPRINT:q:LAST:%3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:MAX:max\: %3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:MIN:min\:%3.0lf
        GPRINT:q:AVERAGE:avg\:%3.0lf

I added this to my hobbitgraph.d directory, but I don't see any graphs.
I did add both "dnsload" and "NCV_dnsload" to the graph variable in
hobbitserver.cfg, but still no graphs.  Where should I look to figure
out what I am doing wrong?

Hi,

Did you add "dnsload=ncv" to the TESTS2RRD variable ?

You have to restart hobbitd_rrd too (on Linux I do "kill `pidof
hobbitd_rrd`" instead of restarting the whole hobbit).

No, I hadn't.

But I don't believe my copy of bb-dns-load is configured the same way.  
The attribute lines read:

Current DNS query rate is: 4/sec
Sample: 1266 queries in 300 seconds ending at Fri Dec 29 10:00:20 CST 2006
Thresholds: Red = 100/sec Yellow = 75/sec

And the service name is "dl".  

I'll try to read up on it next week, but it looks like I still have a lot of work to integrate this.

I had to restart it all, because hobbitfetch had hit it's race condition
again.  That's one thing that is really giving me fits.

Is there a way to set up my sms alert to show the name of the filesystem
that is full or the name of the process that is down?

Look at the http://yourhobbitserver/hobbit/help/hobbit-alerts.html document.
Probably down near the " If e-mail is not enough"  section,  explains it all
right there.
