Config Report
list Allan Spencer
Hai All, Just been looking on Henriks' demo site and noticed the config report bit under one of the menus so I went looking to try and do the same. About the only thing I can find is the header and footer files in the web directory but I cant see anything else about how to get this (but I may be blind) Can someone tell me if this is possible or is this something cool Henrik has done :) Cheers folks Allan

Allan, I have a pretty simple script that should be capable of doing what you are looking for. Basically it just reads in a file and prints the output to the screen. I'll send it along to you if you would like. Robert

That would be cool thanks. Altho just been looking at the one Henrik has on his site and I don't know if we want all the current info that comes up for some of the things. Eg it lists all the current procs on some things, also the disk one comes up with all the disk values. We're probably just after more of a basic that details the basics, network tests and alerts so I can pass it up the food chain so to speak. They dont need to know all the extra info, it would confuse them anyway then I'd have to explain what it all means hehe Allan

It's created dynamically by pulling a bunch of information from the bb-hosts file and the running Hobbit daemon. Looking at it now, it seems I'll have to rework it slightly to make it look nicer with all the info from the new client.

I try to do cool stuff :-) Seriously, this report is something that was created for a specific request I had at work. Some of the paper-pushers there insisted on having a hard-copy print-out of what is being monitored by Hobbit as part of the operational documentation (never mind that monitoring is fairly dynamic and frequently changes after that documentation has been produced ...) So this report was done so that I don't have to collect that information by hand. I've noted your suggestion that it would be nice to leave out parts of the report - I think that is fairly easy to implement, so I'll have a look at that. Regards, Henrik

I haven't looked at this one yet (I'm in the process of swapping out the bulk of our AIX boxen, due to end of lease) -- but if you want *real* overkill on system configs, look at cfg2html. I run this once a week, on Sundays, and stuff the resulting html on my hobbit server in www/notes so I can access it by clicking the system name link.

Cfg2html sounds quite useful.
Is there any way to get hold of the Solaris version without selling my

Hi Allan and everyone on the list, Sorry, but I fail to see what I have to do for getting the config report to work after installing hobbit version 4.1.1 on my test-linux-box. Should it not work, like everything else, out of the box? I adapted the /var/lib/hobbit/www/menu/menu_items.js to add the menu option for hobbit-configreport.sh, but after selecting this option, the cgi-bin script says "Unable to find host information". Thanks for any help, Peter

I seems to work now; I get a perfect overview of the implementation. Must be browser cache or something like that :-( What remains is why this is not part of the default installation (RPM -rebuild from src distro)?

Hi Henrik, With my config report option it seems to stop at a random point for some pages and only shows some of the hosts or some parts of a hosts config. On a page with two printers where only the conn test is currently tested it only shows the printer. How could I debug this to try and find a reason as there appears to be no pattern.

Hi Everyone, I don't know if im the only one having this issue. But in the config report when using BBWIN 0.12 in centralized mode I always have wrong values. If I put my MEMPHYS at 50 70 I always see the same config report telling that the trigger on MEMPYS is at 80% 90% ....but the alerting is working fine ... Anyone have an idea ? Thanks Stéphane Boisvert

Is there an environment variable I can pass to the config report to only report on a given list of hosts?

I don't know about an environment variable, but if you activate the config report on a subpage you will only get the machines that are on that page. Thanks, Larry Barber

Right, but unfortunately these hosts are on a bunch of different pages. The documentation alludes to a cookie that does the page functionality, but I can't find it to manipulate it.

It reports on the hosts below the page in the Hobbit page hierarchy that it is invoked from. This is controlled by the "pagepath" cookie. Regards, Henrik

Thanks, Henrik. Is there any way I can feed an arbitrary list of hosts to report on? The list of about 150 hosts I need to report on are located on several different pages. We're monitoring about 1300 hosts, and I need the config for a subset.
