I am new to hobbit and as per the description it seems that hobbit can
monitor http/https site.

 
Can It monitor sequence of sites, almost like a simulated Synthetic
transaction?

 
Thanks

Correct.

No, Hobbit will only do a single http request - not a sequence of 
requests.

Hullo Henrik,

As i was researching the internet for any knowledge about monitoring using
SNMP quering...i saw something like this stated by you
"sometime later this year, I'll probably look into adding some SNMP
support to Hobbit, in the form of an SNMP module that can query
SNMP-enabled devices for status information, thereby integrating support
for SNMP devices into Hobbit."
so i was wondering...is this SNMP support already added onto hobbit??

Thank you,
regards Allen

Hi Allen,

it's being worked on. The current snapshot has some support for
collecting SNMP data from network devices (essentially, I wrote it so
Hobbit can replace an aging MRTG server we have), but it will be
extended so you can use it to collect other types of data and have it
fed into hobbit.

Henrik

Henrik, 

Could you please explain a little about the differences of using the SNMP module in hobbit and using DEVMON ? 

I'm busy in switching from Big Brother to hobbit and at the same time want to implement the old MRTG graphs of our cisco
routers and switches into the hobbit monitoring. Which one should I use, Devmon of your new feature ? 

Regards and thanks for the good work of hobbit,

Right now, you should use Devmon. It works, it is - from what I know - a lot more flexible, and it works with a lot of different types of
network gear.

There are really just two reasons why I started doing some SNMP
tools myself: 1) I was curious to see how it worked, and 2) I am
not sure how Devmon would handle the 12.000 network interfaces that I must poll every 5 minutes. It might work just fine, I haven't
really looked very much into how Devmon works.

I downloaded Devmon and have it running just fine.

However, I am having a problem with getting the stats from a Devmon
if_load status into rrd. The rrd's never get created. I did do the other
parts and since I am creating a tmp file from the extra-rrd.pl, that
would indicate that the code is executing !


Here is where I believe the problem is.

From the extra-rrd.pl the code is as follows:

Code start ------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile
#$HOSTNAME=$ARGV[0]; ;
$TESTNAME=$ARGV[1]; ;
$FNAME=$ARGV[2]; ;
$filename="/tmp/if_log";

# Read the entire files
open (FILEHANDLE,$FNAME) || die ("cant read file\n");
@input = <FILEHANDLE>;
close (FILEHANDLE);

if ( $TESTNAME eq "if_load") {

           # Analyze the message we got
           open(OUT, ">", $filename);
           print OUT "This is the stuff\n at input";
           foreach $line (@input) {
                   if ($line =~ /(^[A-Z].*) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) {
                           # The RRD dataset definitions
                           print "DS:in:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";
                           print "DS:out:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";

                           # The filename
                           print "if_load_$1.rrd\n";

                           # The data
                           print "$2:$3\n";
                   }
           }
        close (OUT);
}
Code stop -----------------------

I added some code to create and show what is in the if_load stat in the
/tmp/if_log file for debugging.

The /tmp/if_log file I see is:

I've been looking at your message file but can't find anything strange in it. 
What I did see was that there was no interface informatie in de RRD part of your output.  
The RRD file of my output file looks like

Hi all,
I am trying to read the sysDescr from the snmp device, i wanted to know if
i can reach the snmp device via snmp, and whether i am using the correct
read only community string.
But this is the error i get...any ideas on what am missing out or doing
wrong?.

To get a response from snmpget you should also enter a objectid. 

Your snmpget command should look something like 

snmpget -v1 -c afol-public hostname  .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

To get a response from snmpget you should also enter a objectid.

Your snmpget command should look something like

snmpget -v1 -c afol-public hostname  .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

Hi all,
I am trying to read the sysDescr from the snmp device, i wanted to know if
i can reach the snmp device via snmp, and whether i am using the correct
read only community string.
But this is the error i get...any ideas on what am missing out or doing
wrong?.

I downloaded Devmon and have it running just fine.

However, I am having a problem with getting the stats from a Devmon
if_load status into rrd. The rrd's never get created. I did do the other
parts and since I am creating a tmp file from the extra-rrd.pl, that
would indicate that the code is executing !


Here is where I believe the problem is.

From the extra-rrd.pl the code is as follows:

Code start ------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile
#$HOSTNAME=$ARGV[0]; ;
$TESTNAME=$ARGV[1]; ;
$FNAME=$ARGV[2]; ;
$filename="/tmp/if_log";

# Read the entire files
open (FILEHANDLE,$FNAME) || die ("cant read file\n");
@input = <FILEHANDLE>;
close (FILEHANDLE);

if ( $TESTNAME eq "if_load") {

           # Analyze the message we got
           open(OUT, ">", $filename);
           print OUT "This is the stuff\n at input";
           foreach $line (@input) {
                   if ($line =~ /(^[A-Z].*) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) {
                           # The RRD dataset definitions
                           print "DS:in:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";
                           print "DS:out:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";

                           # The filename
                           print "if_load_$1.rrd\n";

           }
        close (OUT);
}

I was using the standard message from the Cisco-7206 template. Although
in working with the Network team, the box is actually a 7204. I don't
know if there would be that much of a difference between the two models.
The hobbit screen gives me all the right detail of usage, so I would
suspect it is OK. I don't know if there is any difference in the
interface type. The two boxes we wanted to start gathering data are DS3.
I noticed the message file has ds0 and ds1, but I need to get more
information about the message file. I looked at all the doc and could
not find much.

Thank you,
Tom

Tom, 

the is no RRD inferface information in your html file. Only the definiton of the RRD file, but no actual information. 
So no information will be send to the rrd file bij the extra-rrd.script. 

You have to look at the devmon site for why there is no information.

Something I have noticed now is that none of the interfaces in your html
start Gi. These are the only interface names that graph for me, im not
sure what/where this is specified. Your Se starting ports may be
ignored. I know my Fa ports currently are and I only see data sent for
Gi ports.

Tom, 

the is no RRD inferface information in your html file. Only the
definiton of the RRD file, but no actual information. 
So no information will be send to the rrd file bij the extra-rrd.script.


You have to look at the devmon site for why there is no information.

I downloaded Devmon and have it running just fine.

However, I am having a problem with getting the stats from a Devmon
if_load status into rrd. The rrd's never get created. I did do the other
parts and since I am creating a tmp file from the extra-rrd.pl, that
would indicate that the code is executing !


Here is where I believe the problem is.

From the extra-rrd.pl the code is as follows:

Code start ------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Input parameters: Hostname, testname (column), and messagefile
#$HOSTNAME=$ARGV[0]; ;
$TESTNAME=$ARGV[1]; ;
$FNAME=$ARGV[2]; ;
$filename="/tmp/if_log";

# Read the entire files
open (FILEHANDLE,$FNAME) || die ("cant read file\n");
@input = <FILEHANDLE>;
close (FILEHANDLE);

if ( $TESTNAME eq "if_load") {

           # Analyze the message we got
           open(OUT, ">", $filename);
           print OUT "This is the stuff\n at input";
           foreach $line (@input) {
                   if ($line =~ /(^[A-Z].*) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) {
                           # The RRD dataset definitions
                           print "DS:in:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";
                           print "DS:out:DERIVE:600:0:U\n";

                           # The filename
                           print "if_load_$1.rrd\n";

                           # The data
                           print "$2:$3\n";
                   }
           }
        close (OUT);
}
Code stop -----------------------

I added some code to create and show what is in the if_load stat in the
/tmp/if_log file for debugging.

The /tmp/if_log file I see is:

OK,

I have partially solved the problem. I actually found this by accident
!!

I was trying to fix the alarm issue and removed the Ge.+ and added
Se.+|Fa.+ to the exceptions file under if_load. Now I am getting graphs
on the three interfaces (I don't have a Ge* interface on the box) !  My
only problem now is that the alarm still doesn't seem to be working,
even thought my warning status is set to 50% on the Se interface and it
is currently running above 60%.

Here is a copy of the message file from
devmon/templates/cisco-7206/if_load


The message file for the device (7206) shows:

<b>Interface error rates:</b>
Input load:  yellow={ifInLoad.thresh:yellow}%,
red={ifInLoad.thresh:red}%
Output load: yellow={ifOutLoad.thresh:yellow}%,
red={ifOutLoad.thresh:red}%
TABLE:rrd(DS:ds0:ifInOctets:COUNTER; DS:ds1:ifOutOctets:COUNTER)
Ifc name|Ifc Speed|Rate in (load %)|Rate out (load %)
{ifName}{ifAliasBox}|{ifSpeed}|{ifInLoad.color}{ifInSpeed}
({ifInLoad}%){ifInLoa
d.errors}|{ifOutLoad.color}{ifOutSpeed} ({ifOutLoad}%){ifOutLoad.errors}


I suspect the message file is wrong? But I have only started this on
Friday, so I figured the experts could point me to the right direction.
