bb-dftab 🔗 link

Thanks again Larry! That did it. I need to get a few old BigBrother ideas out of my head and do more reading in hobbit man pages and examples.

I was misled by the hobbitclient.cfg which shows BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab", as well as bb-proctab, bb-msgtab and bb-cputab
I assume then that the same applies to all of those settings, that they will all be set in hobbit-clients.cfg on the server. 
Which makes me wonder - Henrik, I'm sure you had a good reason for putting BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab" etc in the hobbitclient.cfg on the client, but what purpose does it serve there?

Re: [hobbit] bb-dftab


When using the hobbit client you need to set those on the Hobbit server
in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg file. There is no client side
configuration for the hobbit client, at least for notification
thresholds.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

I hope this is not another silly question! I've searched the archives,
but not seen anything that solves my problem, which may prove to be a
misconfiguration. I have a bb-dftab on my clients
in /home/hobbit/client/etc/bb-dftab. After changing it, I restarted
the hobbit client just to be sure. /home and /opt are still showing up as yellow and red respectively. /home (90 %) has reached the WARNING level (90 %)
/opt (97 %) has reached the PANIC level (95 %) 
The client bb-dftab contains: /usr:92:98 /home:95:99 /opt:99:100 and is owned by the hobbit user, with rw-r--r-- permissions 
The client hobbitclient.cfg is default as bundled and contains: # For the disk check DODISK="TRUE" NODISKCOLOR="clear" BBDFTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-dftab" DFEXCLUDE="cdrom" DFPANIC="95" DFSORT="4" DFUSE="^/dev" DFWARN="90"

It was added back when there wasn't a Hobbit client - with it, you could
run the Big Brother client from hobbitlaunch. I doubt if very many ever
did that, but the idea back then was to provide an exact copy of the BB
environment.

I've removed it from the client setup after the 4.1.1 release, so if you
pick up a recent snapshot you'll see that it is no longer included in
neither the client- nor the server-configs.

I have a number of servers with customized client settings in hobbit-clients.cfg, mostly working well, but a few annoyances on checking for some processes. I keep getting red on all of Apache, tnslsn and jdk. I don't want to match the full output from ps if I can avoid it - or hobbit will go red any time somebody updates a version or the path changes. I could match a little better if I changed my ps from default "ps ax" to "ps -elf", but I like it better when the ps list is a little more compact, though the output from the web page looks like it is from ps -ef, not ps -ax 
I also have two tnslsnr processes running, but only the tnslsn one matches, the other, tnslsnr does not. I have tried replacing Apache with "
/ad02/ddanaiora/iAS/Apache" as well as \/ad02\/ddanaiora\/iAS\/Apache and still no success. Any suggestions please?

ps both on my hobbit web view and ps -ef at a shell prompt show (among many other processes):

Hi Henrik,

Pl. help If i execute the CMD  env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg/bin/mrtg --lock-file /var/log/hobbit/mrtg.lock /usr/local/mrtg/router.cfg as root there is no error.

thanks Arun

Why do I get mail on yellow when I have :

 
hobbitserver.cfg:PAGELEVELS="red purple"  as the only setup?

 
Do I have to set alert levels as well?  I though alert levels would change
the status on the web page to yellow when you got a yellow, but pagelevels
was the one that actually sent the email.  Am I wrong?

 
Thanks

Wes

hi I got this
in  hobbit-clients.cfg

#HOST=%*.cmt.es,%*.cmt_dom.es
HOST=radiasrv.cmt_dom.es
        DISK  /FIXED/C  60 65

HOST=cadiz.cmt.es
        DISK  /orarecovery  96 100

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97

but the alarm in radiasrv.cmt_dom.es is :

red Wed Sep 17 20:35:20 RDT 2008 [radiasrv.cmt_dom.es]

&red /FIXED/C/ (99%) has reached the PANIC level (95%)

C             10240780 10236676     4104    99%    /FIXED/C ()

may be a problem with the sintaxis?
thanks!

BBWin by default processes all thresholds locally on the Windows
server. So unless you're running a non-default configuration of
BBWin and Hobbit, you must change these thresholds in the BBWin
config, not hobbit-clients.cfg.
