Need help in hobbit monitor
list Santoshbabu Perumal
HI All,
We are monitoring about 100 hosts using hobbit monitor. it was
working fine. but from yesterday onwards I see purple icons for
cpu,disk,memory on the webpage. What caused this problem? How can I get
this resolved?
Some questions:-
1) What is the difference between client side client installation
(. /configure -client selection client during installtion) and server
side client installation (selection server option during installation)
2) For some hosts I don't see CPU, disk, memory status on webpage
I do see only conn,ssh.how do I get all the status on the webpage
3) by default I see files,msgs,ports and procs status are white
color. if I don't want to monitor files,msgs,ports and procs how do I
get rid of those entries showing on the webpage.basicall I want to see
only conn,cpu,disk,info,memory,ssh and trends.
Please get back to me on this?..Thanks in advance.
Thanks

They're purple because they have not been updated in a while (30m I think?) 1) The server includes the web page building, alerting, etc. It's what you use to view the status of everything. The client simply collects a little bit of data and sends it to the server. 2) Those columns are updated via the client. Install the client and make sure the client and server matches the same hostname and you'll see them being updated. 3) Specify something to make it go green/red, otherwise I believe you have to deal with the white.

i think NOCOLUMNS is want you want ....
NOCOLUMNS:column[,column]
Used to drop certain of the status columns generated by the Hobbit
client. column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs.
This setting stops these columns from being updated for the host. Note: If
the columns already exist, you must use the bb(1) utility to drop them, or
they will go purple.

Edit server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg navigate to the [clientdata] section. Add to the end of the CMD line: --no-clear-msgs --no-clear-files --no-clear- ports. see man hobbitd_client for details of these parameters. ~Steve

Oh yeah, if you choose that option, those clears will then turn purple after 30 mins. You will need to drop them, after you add those parameters.

The two suggestion given, were really and either or. Though you could perform both, but it is rather redundant. Option 1: NOCOLUMNS, that is a bbtag and belongs with each server you want to hide those reports. i.e. 1.2.3.4 furrybunny.server.com # NOCOLUMNS:files,msgs This is a bbtag defined in the server/etc/bb-hosts file, thusly it's usage is documented in "man bb-hosts". Option 2: hobbitd_client paramters. If you applied as you said, but did not perform 'server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop furrybunny.server.com files"' for both files & msgs. Well then those reports will be purple in 30 secs. They are purple because those reports are no longer generating, and thus the data is stale. if you are unsure of the commands or suggestions that have been given, please read up on the man pages for further details. You should never implement a command or parameter you are not sure of.
