bb-xsnmp.pl 🔗 link

I am trying to get bb-xsnmp installed and not having much luck. I was running this before with BB. Im usning the bb-xsnmp i downloaded from Deadcat and put the script in /home/hobbit/server/ext and created a /home/hobbit/server/etc/bb-xsnmptab added the script to hobbitlaunch.cfg. 

[bbxsnmp]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl
        LOGFILE /var/log/hobbit/bb-xsnmp.log
        INTERVAL 1m


when I execute the script manually it works without errors. When I start hobbit it creates the log file but nothing is in it. When I change the value in the bb-xsnmp.pl script 

"our $is_commandline = 0" to "our $is_commandline = 1"

and tail the log file it spits the correct data out. But nothing is displayed on the page.

any suggestions,

Dave

Is there a concise way to monitor Hobbit clients with SNMP?  I would 
like to do something similar to the Big Brother clients, that monitor 
processes, CPU, disk utilization, etc.  I've looked at deadcat, but 
nothing really jumps out as real useful.

Thanks.

I wrote some mrtg templates that work fairly well with bbmrtg.pl and

Poke around http://www.austinnetworkdesign.com/mrtg/ and see what looks
reasonable.

Hey all,
 I'm trying to debug whether or not an external script is launching.  If I
run it by hand, it works perfectly.

 I've checked all the log files in /var/log/hobbit and there's nothing
apparent from them it's working.

 I'm assuming it runs once when it starts and then in 5m intervals
(according to hobbitlaunch.cfg).


here's my snippet from hobbitlaunch

[xsnmp]
        ENVFILE /bb/hms/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD /bb/hms/server/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-xsnmp.log
        INTERVAL 5m

What do you have in the bb-xsnmp.log file?
Do you have a bb-xsnmptab file in /bb/hms/server/etc ?

I assume this is running on the hobbitd server since you have 
"NEEDS hobbitd"

Did you mean you ran it like this as user 'hobbit' (assuming that is the
user you picked for your hobbit installation)

/bb/hms/server/bin/bbcmd /bb/hms/server/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl

And it worked fine?

I actually figured it out.

I ran 'bbcmd sh' to get into the hobbit environment and then manually
executed the script.

I had the machine name as localhost in the bb-xsnmptab, but it was
expecting the machine name, so I just changed that.
