There isnt a hobbit client per say.

Youll have to still use the bigbrother client for windows AFAIK

I think I asked this before - but I'll try again anyway!

I am collecting Oracle tablespace data, and create an RRD for each
tablespace.  I currently have the following entry in my hobbitgraph.cfg
file...

  [oracle]
        FNPATTERN oracle(.*).TOTAL.rrd
        TITLE Database Size
        YAXIS Bytes
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@T=@RRDFN@:total:AVERAGE
        DEF:p at RRDIDX@U=@RRDFN@:used:AVERAGE
        CDEF:p at RRDIDX@F=p at RRDIDX@T,p at RRDIDX@U,-
        -l 0
        AREA:p at RRDIDX@U#@COLOR@:Used
        STACK:p at RRDIDX@F#00FF00:Total\n
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@U:LAST:Used  \: %5.2lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@U:MAX: \: %5.2lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@U:MIN: \: %5.2lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@U:AVERAGE: \: %5.2lf%s (avg)\n
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@T:LAST:Total \: %5.2lf%s (cur)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@T:MAX: \: %5.2lf%s (max)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@T:MIN: \: %5.2lf%s (min)
        GPRINT:p at RRDIDX@T:AVERAGE: \: %5.2lf%s (avg)\n

...so I just get one graph for the total size (I only have one DB per
server at the moment).  As you can see, the graph is a stack that shows the
total size with the "percent filled" in blue.

If I change TOTAL in the FNPATTERN definition so that it scans *all* of the
RRD files, the graph breaks.  I'm guessing this is because it can't really
stack multiple tablespaces on one graph like it can for a single percentage
(a-la disk etc).

Does anybody know of an RRD flag I can add to the hobbitgraph.cfg
definition to force rrdtool to create one graph for each file rather than
trying to combine them?

TIA,
Andy.

Try changing the GRAPHS setting in hobbitserver.cfg, so you have an
"oracle::1" in there.

(And yes, this is one of those not very well documented things).

This still doesn't work for me.  I have made the change in combination with
dropping '.TOTAL' from the FNPATTERN but still get just one broken graph.

I see that a similar setting is used for disk (disk:disk_part:5).  What
does the second field signify?  Is it something I need to set as well?

Thanks,

Hi! Do you have any experience with windows monitoring?

For clients: BBWin or MrBig.

MrBig looks like a small application without support, community.

Which windows client is working well under Windows 2000 server, 2003
server, 2008 server without strange behavior?

For a webserver under windows there are 2 plugins: iishealth.zip and
BuddyTray_1.2.4_Installer.zip

Did you use them? Any experience, advice?

Hi,

I use BBwin on all my windows boxes. I run Win2K and Win2K3 all around.
I don't do any custom tests at this point. I monitor resources
(CPU,Disk,Mem, etc), services and logs. It works great minimal resources
and great functionality.

The client runs well and has been in production for over a year. The
configuration file is easy to use, has great examples, is clear and
intuitive to use. 

Hope this helps.

Thank You,

Rafal Roginela

If you search the list archive you'll find many posts about BBWin and
people's experiences.  I certainly have used it on Win2k3 servers
without problems.

best options I have under windows,

BBWin does come with a .chm help file. You can also browse the Subversion repository on SourceForge: http://bbwin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bbwin/trunk/Doc/en/Begin.htm

Hi, Benedikt

Would you mind to put your decent bbwin doc in Xymon wiki book ?

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Administration_Guide#Install_Xymon_client:_BBWin_0.12

above url  is the good place to cut in.

I read through it and it is very similar to what my mini-HOWTO suggests. I would either have to remove what is there before (wich I am not comfortable with) or create a second section on BBWin (wich seems unneccesary). Any ideas?

Please create another section beside Carl Inglis' note.
Lets merge two of your notes later.

The person should be Henrik. I am playing along with Henrik's official doc manpage effort.

I do have some ideas (of using latex,beamer...) to create better looking hobbit doc.
But due to limitation of free personal time and talent. it is progressing very slowly.
See sandbox for the raw,alpha docs.

http://hobbitmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hobbitmon/sandbox/tjyang/docs/

You are welcome to join the effort in the level of creating docs. There is not much need for reviewing currently.

Is there a list of what needs doing (e.g. Documenting the DOC: feature)? I've discovered some typos in bb.1, but if the docs are going to be changed it's best to work with the fresh stuff.

For manpage troff stuff, definitely interact with Henrik to correct error you discovered.
