DISK IGNORE problem?

Hi All, How do I get Hobbit to ignore all of my "kci11i" filesystems with 1 statement?

Hi all
Has anybody encountered any problems graphing BB-Win output?
We have a custom test, which is generating standard output, and
generating a line
sessions=<value>
I have added the testname=ncv to hobbitserver.cfg:TEST2RRD=
And added testname to hobbitserver.cfg:GRAPHS=
I have also added NCV_testname="sessions:GAUGE"
I then added the following to the hobbitgraph.cfg file.
[testname]
TITLE Test Sessions
YAXIS No. of Sessions
DEF:u=testname.rrd:sessions:AVERAGE
LINE2:u#00CC00:Sessions
COMMENT:\n
GPRINT:u:LAST:Sessions \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
GPRINT:u:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
But no graph appears and no rrd file is generated.
I have created similar graphs of output from my Unix clients, and it all
works, but not for my Windows clients running BB_Win.
Is there a trick to custom graphing output from BB-Win clients?
Has anybody else encountered this? How did you get round it?
Thanks

Hi all We have a number of teams, with a large number of servers per team, and I wanted to give each more autonomy over how they set up their Hobbit sub-page. (Also means less work for me) I was thinking of having a separate bb-hosts, hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg for each team, and then include in the case of bb-hosts or run a cron job to concatenate the files, in the case of the others. Is there a way to "sanity check" any of these files before exposing hobbit to them? I would probably need to remove the <CR><LF>, which is pretty easy, but are there any other sanity checks available? Regards

So far, I am using "beacon" approach by bringing down a vmware session's interface for 6 minutes to trigger alarm at certain time each day. This beacon approach will ensure lots of components in hobbit system monitoring system are functional. tj

They do, or at least hobbit-client.cfg & clients-local.cfg. I would guess that hobbit-alerts.cfg will to, Henrik is rather thorough in what works for one config file, works for others. But this should be either confirmed or tested. Past Mailing list answer pasted below for reference: On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 02:59:58PM -0500, Gregory Wege wrote:

I am running into a similar issue. I have a page with around 30-40 servers and hobbit is not alerting out on Disk usage. I have also tried multiple regex but none of them work for DISK but they will work for LOAD. I wonder if there is an issue with code? -Josh

Hi all
I appreciate the answers, but they have nothing to do with my question.
If the file doesn't support the include directive, I can simply cron a
task to merge the files.
What I wanted to know, is if there is a method of sanity-checking the
files before presenting them to hobbit.
Remember, Windoze admins are going to be editing at least one of these
files through Samba.
Windoze editors leave <CR><LF> rubbish everywhere, and all sorts of
unwanted formating.
I need to sanitise these files before giving them do Hobbit.
But this is the easy bit.
How do I check that these files are syntactictically correct from a
Hobbit perspective?
Regards
Vernon

Hi all
Resolved this one.
Turned out to be a PEBKAC
If only people would listen when they write their scripts :-)
Note to others.
Although it "appears" to be on a single line, by itself on the output,
<FONT COLOR="Black">sessions=1</FONT>
Is not the same as
<FONT COLOR="Black">
sessions=1
</FONT>
And that was why graphing didn't work.
(In case you missed that, the first method doesn't work, the second one
does.)

I have created similar graphs of output from my Unix clients, and it all
works, but not for my Windows clients running BB_Win.
Is there a trick to custom graphing output from BB-Win clients?
Has anybody else encountered this? How did you get round it?
Thanks
Vernon

It appears that my issue is not as simply fixed as yours (too bad). I changed my status submit to the following different options but it still won't graph: bbsend 10.10.10.10 "status CITRIX1.citrixlicensing red percentinuse:98.3" bbsend 10.10.10.10 "status CITRIX1.citrixlicensing red percentinuse=98.3" No formatting, no spaces, and it still won't graph for some reason and no RRD file. Any other thoughts Vernon or anyone else? On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Everett, Vernon <

Hi all
Resolved this one.
Turned out to be a PEBKAC
If only people would listen when they write their scripts :-)
Note to others.
Although it "appears" to be on a single line, by itself on the output,
<FONT COLOR="Black">sessions=1</FONT>
Is not the same as
<FONT COLOR="Black">
sessions=1
</FONT>
And that was why graphing didn't work.
(In case you missed that, the first method doesn't work, the second one
does.)
Cheers

Hi Joshua
Thanks, for the help, but nope, that wasn't it.
I restarted hobbit a few times before resorting to the mailing list.
As I mentioned, I have managed to get graphing to work on a similar test
on a Unix client.
Cheers
Vernon

If you do a "ps -ef | grep hobbitd_rrd" and kill the two processes
running "
hobbitd_channel --channel=data" then wait a couple minutes and you
should be good. You can also reset hobbit but killing the two processes
for the hobbitd_rrd will do it also. Need to get the hobbitd_rrd
channels restarted when trying to do ncv.

Subject: [hobbit] Graphing BB-Win output
Hi all
Has anybody encountered any problems graphing BB-Win output?
We have a custom test, which is generating standard output, and
generating a line sessions=<value>
I have added the testname=ncv to hobbitserver.cfg:TEST2RRD= And added
testname to hobbitserver.cfg:GRAPHS=
I have also added NCV_testname="sessions:GAUGE"
I then added the following to the hobbitgraph.cfg file.
[testname]
TITLE Test Sessions
YAXIS No. of Sessions
DEF:u=testname.rrd:sessions:AVERAGE
LINE2:u#00CC00:Sessions
COMMENT:\n
GPRINT:u:LAST:Sessions \: %5.1lf%s (cur)
GPRINT:u:MAX: \: %5.1lf%s (max)
GPRINT:u:MIN: \: %5.1lf%s (min)
GPRINT:u:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf%s (avg)\n
But no graph appears and no rrd file is generated.
I have created similar graphs of output from my Unix clients, and it all
works, but not for my Windows clients running BB_Win.
Is there a trick to custom graphing output from BB-Win clients?

You *must* send some line breaks, the ncv collector actually looks for them.
