Cannot ack hobbit alerts 🔗 link

Hi guys,

Have recently upgraded to 4.0.2 and discovered we are having some issues
ack'ing alerts this morning.

Its sending out notifications to email and pager fine but when I put them
into the Ack Alert page on hobbit it says alert ack'ed or whatever it
says
but theys till keep coming. Also in the hobbitd.log i get the message

date time Cookie 624644 not found, dropping ack

There is no way I've typed it wrongas I got 4 ppl to look at it to make
sure
I wasnt going insane.

Also not sure if anyone else has had this since upgrading to 4.0.2 as my
emails for the last few days seemed to have vanished

Allan

Yeah... this was covered a few days ago.

Pick up and apply this patch...

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/hobbit-4.0.2-acknowledge.patch

...and you should be back in business.

Regards,
Andy.

Ok I'm guessing by the looks of it have to drop this file into the src
directory and reconfig/make hobbit ?

Can someone please give me a hint in the right direction as I've never
had
to apply a patch to hobbit before.

Also is there an online copy/archive of this mailing list at all ?

Cheers

Andy.

You've got the idea ;-)  First save the patch file to /tmp, then...

cd hobbit-4.0.2
patch -p0 </tmp/maintenance-feature.patch

make
stop Hobbit
make install (as root)
start Hobbit

I'm not sure what system you are running hobbit on, but if you get any
errors with patch try gpatch instead (I have to do this on my Solaris 9
x86
box).

HTH,
Andy.

Whoops! try...

patch -p0 </tmp/hobbit-4.0.2-acknowledge.patch

:-) Serves me right for copying Henrik's instructions!

Running all the way back on Redhat Linux 7.2 on a beasty Pentium Pro 200

I tried the patch command and it sat there for an age and did nothing.

Should I drop the file into the hobbit install dir/hobbitd and run it
from
there seeing as that the hobbitd.c file is in that dir ? Or will the
patch
command search the entire hdd for hobbitd.c ? Im a bit of a newb and can
say
ive never used patch before.

The again I might just edit the line in the hobbitd.c by hand, will that
work ?
