Hi,
I am quite new in the subject here.
Could you advice how could i find prerequisites for installing and functioning client on AIX.
I am struggling now that even Hobbit processes are running on client , there are only basic info for monitored servers , looks like the client is not doing any jobs.
Maybe quick checklist?


we got following view:


the mmtest is switched off. SUELB10018-7 have the client running. I need to define more services, by default there are much more defined already and running for windows clients.

Merek,

a couple things to check at least,

Did you use the runclient.sh to start the client?

and what version of AIX do you have?

Also check to see in the logs if information is being passed from the
client to ur server

Hi again,
 I got ready AIX bffs from colleague who has compiled them probably. I use AIX 5.3.3
i have started installed software from:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.hobbit as it was adviced in smit.log this starts su - hobbit -c "/opt/hobbit/client/runclient.sh start"

list of runnig hobbit processes:

  hobbit 274600 364694   0 15:34:58      -  0:00 vmstat 300 2

in logfiles it looks like hobbitd_client is not found in installation:

/opt/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh[67]: /opt/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitd_client:  not found

clientlaunch.log shows that the tasklist has been loaded succesfully:
#:/opt/hobbit/client/logs>>more clientlaunch.log
2009-06-30 13:50:28 hobbitlaunch starting
2009-06-30 13:50:28 Loading tasklist configuration from /opt/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

I have checked also port 1984 is available on server.

maybe I did not compile correctly? what is the equivalent of the hobbitd_client?

Hey try this...


In the hobbitclient.cfg.......


Make sure that bbdisp is the same ip address as the xymon server....

Since ours here is in dns we dont have an ip address i just have it plainly
xymon......but if your not running dns you need the correct IP in there...


Let me know

 Subject:    [hobbit] prerequisites AIX


Hi,
I am quite new in the subject here.
Could you advice how could i find prerequisites for installing and
functioning client on AIX.
I am struggling now that even Hobbit processes are running on client ,
there are only basic info for monitored servers , looks like the client is
not doing any jobs.
Maybe quick checklist?


we got following view:


(Embedded image moved to file: pic14771.gif)

the mmtest is switched off. SUELB10018-7 have the client running. I need to
define more services, by default there are much more defined already and
running for windows clients.

Stef,
your package is perfect, works.

Any idea where to find also linux binaries, it asks me to install pcre and 
i dont have c compiler there thus cannot make sources on the machine...

Stef,
your package is perfect, works.
Thanks,
Any idea where to find also linux binaries, it asks me to install pcre and
i dont have c compiler there thus cannot make sources on the machine...
If possblie, just compile it on a machine where you have c installed and just 
copy the directory.
If you search the web, you can find pre-compiled binaries for most linux 
distributions.

I notice a pattern happening.
I stop the devmon client, and restart it,
then everything works fine.
after about 3 days,
I get the purple icon for the DM check, and all the devices that use devmon are purple.

anyone have any suggestions on how to diagnose the problem?

I can just restart devmon, and it will work again, but there must be a way to see errors....

thanks!
