Plans for BBWin support? 🔗 link

Any plans for hobbit to support the "bbwin" client?  It obviously
currently doesn't support it, at least not in the "central" mode.

There is a bbwin client that is supported by Hobbit. You can get around
the "central mode" thing by running an external script to download the
bbwin.cfg file at regular intervals.

I have over 100 systems that run just fine. But, last Sat night one
system stop updating 3 rrd files. Here is the directory listing.

When I look at the cpu column, I see normal system info including a
bottom line of loads, but the load graph is blank. I tried moving the
la.rrd file to la.rrd_org but never saw a new one created. The same goes
for procs.rrd and users.rrd.

I looked at the log files on the server and client and do not see
anything.

I also did a rrdtool dump on la.rrd and it showed data up to the last
update and did not give any kind of error.

Does anyone have a clue where I need to look?

Thank you,

Tom

Anyone know when the next release of bbwin is out? The mailing lists for
bbwin are pretty static.

Thanks,
Padraig

currently doesn't support it, at least not in the "central" mode.

Just finishing a night shift so I'll post a quick question see if anyone
has had the same.

Basically I've just installed our second hobbit server on FC8 (the
original/first is on FC5)

All my RRD files are being generate and formatted correctly but via the web
interface (hobbitgraph.sh) none of the rrd graphs are generated (disk, cpu,
memory ...)

The rrd files and hobbitgraph.sh have the correct permission's. Apache is
good. Hobbit installs on both machines are hobbit-4.2.0-1. hobbitgraph.cfg
and hobbitserver.cfg are copies from a working machine (hobbitserver.cfg
modified to the new name/ip address only). There are no errors in
/var/log/hobbit/...

The only notable thing different (other than FC8) is that the rrd with FC8
yum install is:

rrdtool-devel-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8
rrdtool-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8
rrdtool-perl-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8

Has anyone experienced that same? or am I just tired and missing something
stupid.

Limited information for now - I will go sleep...

Removed
rrdtool-devel-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8
rrdtool-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8
rrdtool-perl-1.3-0.1.beta1.fc8

and installed
rrdtool-1.2.23-3.fc5
rrdtool-perl-1.2.23-3.fc5
rrdtool-devel-1.2.23-3.fc5

Now everything works - just got to stop yum updating it - when I get time I
may look into this further but maybe usefull information for all you people
thinking of moving to FC8 (knew I should have installed ubuntu).

Suppose that's what happens when beta software is used...

I'm strongly against Debian.  I just do not like it.

You might want to look into CentOS.  Coming from Fedora you should be
extremely familiar.  I have used CentOS for quite a while and found minimal
compatibility issues.  I do use a few third party repo's, too.

As long as we're talking $DISTRO, I might add that both opensuse and

has been working wonderfully.

I have no experience in Suse what so ever so forgive my ignorance here.

You said you have to fix blatant redhat-isms - is this on Suse/FC/CentOS?
What purpose is this package?

Out of curiosity, does Suse use RPMs?

there should be no problem there, and fedora is a close relative.

Suse uses rpms, but the filesystem layout is not identical to redhat.

So, when you compile and install a source rpm made specifically for
redhat on a suse system, there can be a few things out of whack. I had
to move some files around, and add symlinks to create rc files for
start/stop of hobbit.

But, once that is done, it all seems to run beautifully.
