Client Data not showing up
list Howard Snyder
I can't get any data from my client to the server. I think I know the
problem but I do have 1 question. How is the data moved back and forth
between the client and the server? telnet? ftp? The reason that I'm
asking is, this is what I see when I run the command - bb {IP address}
"pullclient":
2008-02-07 08:54:15 Could not connect to bbd@{IP address}:1984 -
Connection refused
2008-02-07 08:54:15 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection
failed
If the data is moved via telnet, I have a problem. My company requires
that I turn off telnet on all Solaris 10 boxes. Any ideas?
Thank you,

The protocol is not telnet. That happens over port 23. Hobbit comms are done via a hobbit protocol over port 1984. It's too bad the port can't be changed to 'eleventy hundred' or something close. ;-) It sounds like you don't have the client running on that machine where you're trying to pull data from.

The client connects the the host configured in BBDISP (or all the hosts configured in BBDISPLAYS) on the port 1984, or if specified, the port in BBPORT. For example, the 'bb' tool does this. So, not telnet or ftp. However, if you want the server to collect the data from the client, by setting the pulldata option in bb-hosts for this client, you need to run the 'hobbitfetch' task on the server, and the 'msgcache' task on the client.

The reason that I'm asking is, this is what I see when I run the command - bb {IP address}
"pullclient":Why do you think you should be running this command?
2008-02-07 08:54:15 Could not connect to bbd@{IP address}:1984 -
Connection refusedNotice bb isn't managing to connect to port 1984 on the IP address.
If the data is moved via telnet, I have a problem.
It's not.
My company requires that I turn off telnet on all Solaris 10 boxes.
IMHO it shouldn't be enabled by default ...
Any ideas?
If you are trying to run with the pulldata method, is msgcache running on the client? It listens on port 1984 ... Regards, Buchan

Can you connect from the client to the server on port 1984? You can use the telnet command to test this, e.g.: telnet ip.of.bb.disp 1984 If you can't connect, *that* is your problem (but has nothing to do with the telnet daemon running or not). Please rather keep replies on the list.

That is what I thought but I'm not getting anything to the server. The only items that I see are the tests listed in the bb-hosts file:
run a network sniffer on the server, check the messages sent. perhaps th eclient is not configured correctly so the messages are not displayed because of a mismatch between the name used to sent the messages and the name in the bb-hosts. check also in your server/data directory if you can find the logs for this client.

Is the client software running on the clients? Do you see anything in the client log files on these clients? Do you see anything in the ghosts report on the Hobbit server? When you start the client up, does the hostname printed out match the name you are using in bb-hosts ?
The only items that I see are the tests listed in the bb-hosts file:
I note that the recommendation is to use FQDNs ... if your servers have FQDNs as their host name, this is most likely the cause of your problems.

The hobbit-client.cfg or client-local.cfg files don't determine whether or not you see data from the clients, only how Hobbit interprets the data, and what additional data the client sends (respectively). Without configuring anything, you should still see the cpu, disk, memory checks at minimum.

There should be a delay (about 30 seconds, if memory serves me right) before the connection is closed - that is how long Hobbit will wait for data to be sent from the client. The "bb" utility from the Hobbit client really is the best way to do the connection test - run bb IP-OF-HOBBIT-SERVER ping and it should respond with the version number of your Hobbit server. Add a --debug option just after the "bb" command for some more detail. If you can connect, but the bb-ping test fails, then there are a couple of possibilities: 1) The IP-address you're using is wrong 2) There's a firewall or proxy which blocks port 1984 3) The Hobbit daemon restricts what IP-adresses it will talk to (the --status-senders option to hobbitd in hobbitlaunch.cfg) Probably something else I just cannot think of right now ...

1) What does hobbitclient.cfg:BBDISP= have?
2) Can you install nmap or telnet on port 1984 from the client? I'm
wondering if theres a firewall stopping the traffic.

There should be a delay (about 30 seconds, if memory serves me right) before the connection is closed - that is how long Hobbit will wait for data to be sent from the client. The "bb" utility from the Hobbit client really is the best way to do the connection test - run bb IP-OF-HOBBIT-SERVER ping and it should respond with the version number of your Hobbit server. Add a --debug option just after the "bb" command for some more detail. If you can connect, but the bb-ping test fails, then there are a couple of possibilities: 1) The IP-address you're using is wrong 2) There's a firewall or proxy which blocks port 1984 3) The Hobbit daemon restricts what IP-adresses it will talk to (the --status-senders option to hobbitd in hobbitlaunch.cfg) Probably something else I just cannot think of right now ...

Howard, I think it is called client-local.cfg or something like that. The stuff you enter in this file gets sent to each Hobbit client to tell it what to do. It is most used to tell the client which files and directories to start sending information for, and also how to filter log files so the client doesn't try to send the whole thing to the server for processing. It is also used to tell the client what version of code to run -- if you work at it, you can get the clients to update themselves (except on AIX machines). GLH

Howard, That tells the client to watch that file (but didn't you enter a directory?). Then in the hobbit-clients.cfg (or whatever it is called) you can specify what to watch for that file -- mostly looking for search patterns, file sizes, mod times, etc. BTW, be very careful about what you put in your defaults section. The defaults section is "and"-ed with the host specific section.

This is probably something easy but, I can't seem to figure it out. If I have read the man pages right (along with a few hundred archived emails) the hobbit-client.cfg reads from top to bottom. So if you have the following in the file in this order: HOST=SGLNHHOBBIT file /var/adm/messages SIZE>0 MTIME>86400 TRACK yellow ##file /var/log/hobbit/page.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.pid SIZE>0 SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/rrd-status.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/hobbit/rrd-data.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow file /var/log/syslog SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults.

There should be a delay (about 30 seconds, if memory serves me right) before the connection is closed - that is how long Hobbit will wait for data to be sent from the client. The "bb" utility from the Hobbit client really is the best way to do the connection test - run bb IP-OF-HOBBIT-SERVER ping and it should respond with the version number of your Hobbit server. Add a --debug option just after the "bb" command for some more detail. If you can connect, but the bb-ping test fails, then there are a couple of possibilities: 1) The IP-address you're using is wrong 2) There's a firewall or proxy which blocks port 1984 3) The Hobbit daemon restricts what IP-adresses it will talk to (the --status-senders option to hobbitd in hobbitlaunch.cfg) Probably something else I just cannot think of right now ...
