dbcheck.pl 🔗 link

Hi All , I am new to hobbit and Perl . We are looking at implementation the "dbcheck.pl"  script for monitoring  Oracle and SQL Server databases .I had few questions regarding the script


*         Is there any documentation available for the script ?

*         What does the following in the ini file mean ? How do I read it ?

*         valtocheck=2:10::>:1;2:0::>:1:SYS;2:100:50:<:1:TEST:=;2:50:100:>:1:TEST:!

*         What does the following mean and why does this setting  not report SYSTEM table space

*         tb.SYSTEM         = 101:101 # don't report SYSTEM tablespace problem for all databases

*         I felt the script to be cryptic and any help for understanding the code better at least from a basic troubleshooting perspective is greatly welcome

Regards,
Venkatesh

Hello,

I need help setting up MySQL monitor in Hobbit.  I followed the
instructions from "hobbit-perl-client.1.21.tar", but when I try to run
./dbcheck.pl, I'm getting the following error.

root at xxxxxx:/usr/lib/hobbit/client/ext# ./dbcheck.pl
Fri Jan 25 12:08:35 2013:ERROR: Could not close the DISABLED directory
handle: No such file or directory

I found the problem with the previous reported error.  I have another
question about the READ.FIRST file.

What does it mean by;
 "The scripts will not recognize the hobbit include directive so, on
the bb-hosts on your client, you have to put che host you're checking
in a bb-hosts file directly (you can leave them in a include fine on
the hobbit server)."

I set up my bb-hosts "0.0.0.0 mysql # noconn dbcheck" from the hobbit
client.  The setting from hobbit server is "0.0.0.0 mysql #".

Reference:
"If you want to run those scripts in a Hobbit Client instead of
running them on the server you have to modify the bb-hosts file on the
server and put also a bb-hosts file on the client machine. The scripts
will not recognize the hobbit include directive so, on the bb-hosts on
your client, you have to put che host you're checking in a bb-hosts
file directly (you can leave them in a include fine on the hobbit
server).
Edit your hobbitclient.cfg file to include the hosts/database/wlserver
you want to check (see the README.script for further instructions)."
