Hi, If a new theme is being considered, as well as a logo, I'd like you to see what our current hobbit installation looks like (see attached). I like the fact that the display is clear at a distance on the default hobbit look - the black background really makes things stand out more than a white background - so I haven't changed that aspect of it. I've just changed the icons and the layout somewhat. The black background lends hobbit a different feel to its competitors out there at the moment (big sister, nagios etc) and (I think) makes the display clearer - I would be keen to retain that. Also (and I think someone else has mentioned this) please consider colour blindness in any new theme. Two of my fellow sysadmins are red-green colour blind. The current default is good because it uses saturated colours and animated/shaped icons despite its basis on red, green and yellow. Finally, I would like to mention that it would be really really nice if a future version of hobbit made more use of CSS and was a little more themer-friendly. Best regards, Chris.

Hi Christopher ! I really like your theme. As you said, it's really clear and simple. Any chance you share with us your material to build it ? Maybe you can post it to the Shire (if you want, of course) ? I also second you when you asked for a more themer-friendly version of Xymon ! Best regards, ThomaS

Hi Thomas I've actually changed a heck of a lot of files within hobbit to achieve this look (headers, footers, some of the scripts that generate web pages) in order to make more consistent use of CSS, so it is not upgrade-friendly at all unfortunately. I consider it a little bit hacky. However, I can certainly try to get a collection of files together for people to look at on The Shire. I would imagine it would only work with version 4.2.0. How should I go about getting the files onto the Shire? Best regards, Chris. Chris Garrett UNIX Administrator MISD Operations Group, University of Cambridge 01223-(7)66687

Hello, some months (year ?) ago, I wrote a few php/shell code lines to generate on-demand/automatised PDF reports with the help of the RRD data produced by Hobbit. At the time of coding, I've used 'libfpdf' but it's a pain to include PNG with alpha-channel. I'm now in charge of a new platform and I setup Hobbit to monitor everything, of course :) Besides, I discovered the library 'tcpdf' which is very good and efficient. So, I decided to bring back my reports and have them to work with 'tcpdf'. Modifications were easy since 'tcpdf' is based on 'libfpdf' and now everything works again :) But this time, I really want to share this work with you on the Shire or whatever. I need to know if some of you are interested by these reports... Thus, just let me know. Best regards, ThomaS

I was asked a related question. For our SLA, I need the "Availability Report" in a printable version. And only a subset of the checks (ping is the most important). The layout can be simple, only the numbers is a start. Of course, it it looks pretty (not just a bunch a of % but some pie charts or graphs), that's a surplus. It would also be great if I can exclude the maintenance windows out of the calculations. Stef

Hi, I forgot to describe what these reports looked... Sorry, I failed. First, you have to know that these reports need a bunch of new files to be installed (mainly php and shell scripts). Then, you have two kind of reports : simple and complex. The "simple" ones are made of three pages and are about 150k-200k. On the first page, you'll find a title, a date, name of server, company logo. On the second and third page you will find 6 RRD graphes. These graphes are the most important, in my opinion, to understand if a server is in good health or not... So, the graphes are : cpu load, memory use, network use, cpu use, i/o wait and run-queue length. Of course, you can change and add yours if you want. Also, you can select if you want to display a daily/weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/annualy report of your server. The "complex" reports, are exactly the same as the simple but you can drop some lines beneath the graphes. It could be nice if you have to explain the behaviour of your server to a non-techie person (i.e, management). These reports are bigger (~500k) and are 5 pages long. By the way, I will take any advices and comments. I can send to you reports sample for those who cares. Sincerly, ThomaS

Thomas, I think I actually implemented your reports and found them to be a great idea. At the time I ran into two problems, but did not have the time to dedicate to resolving. My first issue was the reports would not run if any piece of data was missing. Second, the text was in French. The second part was almost easily overcome thanks to GOOGLE and lots of cutting and pasting. I would be interested in trying this out again. I would like to see if the reporting could be "expanded". The error I ran into with missing data was due in part to the reports only looking at data collect from Unix/Linux clients. The majority of my monitored systems are Windows boxes. Dave

Thomas, Yes it is definitely your earlier version. I am not attempting to run the reports on a Windows box, rather run them against data collected from Windows boxes. That is when I run into the issue of missing graphs, and the reports error. I do not recall which graph(s) causes the problem, but it is one where Unix/Linux provides data, but Windows does not. Perhaps I can test and shoot you a direct email?

Subject: Re: [hobbit] [Hobbit/Xymon] PDF Reports
Hi Dave,
maybe you tried the version I released last year ? I could send you the new version if you want.
The first issue is true if any graphes are missing. I will probably add checks to force display of reports even with no graphes on it. For the french texts, I know this is a big issue thus I've translated (nearly) everything in english. Sorry, to have not do that before :(
All my scripts were written in shell, thus they won't run on windows natively. Indeed, these shell scripts will generate five PNG files from the RRD collected by the Hobbit/Xymon server. I'm using the rrdtool command line to achieve this task. Maybe someone knows how to do that under Windows operating system.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Thomas
I've actually changed a heck of a lot of files within hobbit to achieve this look (headers, footers, some of the scripts that generate web pages) in order to make more consistent use of CSS, so it is not upgrade-friendly at all unfortunately. I consider it a little bit hacky.
However, I can certainly try to get a collection of files together for people to look at on The Shire. I would imagine it would only work with version 4.2.0.
How should I go about getting the files onto the Shire?
Best regards,
Chris.

I really like your theme. As you said, it's really clear and simple. Any chance you share with us your material to build it ? Maybe you can post it to the Shire (if you want, of course) ? I also second you when you asked for a more themer-friendly version of Xymon ! Best regards, ThomaS Christopher Garrett a écrit :Hi, If a new theme is being considered, as well as a logo, I'd like you to see what our current hobbit installation looks like (see attached). I like the fact that the display is clear at a distance on the default hobbit look - the black background really makes things stand out more than a white background - so I haven't changed that aspect of it. I've just changed the icons and the layout somewhat. The black background lends hobbit a different feel to its competitors out there at the moment (big sister, nagios etc) and (I think) makes the display clearer - I would be keen to retain that. Also (and I think someone else has mentioned this) please consider colour blindness in any new theme. Two of my fellow sysadmins are red- green colour blind. The current default is good because it uses saturated colours and animated/shaped icons despite its basis on red, green and yellow. Finally, I would like to mention that it would be really really nice if a future version of hobbit made more use of CSS and was a little more themer-friendly. Best regards, Chris.I put some info about Xymon Themes that I know on hobbitmon/sandbox/themes http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/sandbox/themes/ tj----

Thomas, I have installed tcpdf on my apache webserver and can see the example reports that come with it. However, when running the php scripts in your package I get a blank page and no errors in the apache log and am a bit stuck on how to troubleshoot the problem. I ran the master.sh script to generate some data. Any ideas?
