Hi

This report is not very informative. Something is wrong, as the status
is yellow, but what?

Ignored PURPLE status update from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for host.domain.test

Hello,

I think the problem if on that line :

 Ignored PURPLE status update from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for host.domain.test


May be an external script is sending a purple status from that host
which is not autorized. Only red, yellow, green or clear status are
authorized.

You should check your externals scripts this host.


Etienne.

check whether 'host.domain.test' is in your bb-hosts. If not, make them
match by

   - change its entry in bb-hosts
   - Or, change on the client boxen, via CLIENTHOSTNAME=

Hi All,

 
I got the proxy set-up between our site here and in Newbury but at 4:30
last night I got a call saying we were using a high level of bandwidth,
the network team investigated and found hobbit to be using 50% of our
2mb connection, is this normal? How can I run tests etc. to see how the
proxy is working and are there any settings I might alter to make it use
less bandwidth?

 
Thanks,

Jason.

Please explain how you have set up your proxy.

For instance, in your scenario, I would expect that the *only* things running 
(not marked as DISABLED in hobbitlaunch.cfg) on your "proxy" are the bbproxy 
and bbnet tasks.

Buchan

Depending on the values in hobbitserver.cfg (I think BBSERVERIP but I haven't 
confirmed), this may be generating the traffic.

Do you really need the html pages to be available on this "proxy" server?

Ideally yes, since we don't want to be dependent on the main server for
monitoring our own site, the BBSERVERIP=137.202.205.54 (the proxies IP
address).

any ideas? (Have re-downloaded source, applied patch and install and
also coped source from one server to the other with the same results)

Thanks,
Jason.

Ideally yes, since we don't want to be dependent on the main server for
monitoring our own site, the BBSERVERIP=137.202.205.54 (the proxies IP
address).

Thanks,
Jason.

This is everything from hobbitlaunch.cfg on the proxy (minus comments)

So, you pretty much have everything enabled.

[...]

[bbdisplay]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        GROUP generators
        CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --nopropyellow=msgs,uptime
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
        INTERVAL 1m


Depending on the values in hobbitserver.cfg (I think BBSERVERIP but I
haven't 
confirmed), this may be generating the traffic.

Do you really need the html pages to be available on this "proxy"
server?

Buchan

Hi All,


I got the proxy set-up between our site here and in Newbury but at

4:30

last night I got a call saying we were using a high level of

bandwidth,

the network team investigated and found hobbit to be using 50% of
our
2mb connection, is this normal? How can I run tests etc. to see how

the

proxy is working and are there any settings I might alter to make it

use

less bandwidth?

Please explain how you have set up your proxy.

For instance, in your scenario, I would expect that the *only* things
running
(not marked as DISABLED in hobbitlaunch.cfg) on your "proxy" are the
bbproxy
and bbnet tasks.

Regards,
Buchan
