Hi,

The solaris regular expression in hobbitd/rrd/do_ifstat.c (Hobbit 4.2.0) does 
not work for the "e1000g" Ethernet driver found on certain Sparc T2000 system.


Output of the command for ifstat:

$ /usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | sort

I've adjusted our hobbitclient-sunos.sh script.  Since that command only
works in the global zone (solaris 10 or higher), at the top I have:

ZONE="global"
if [ -x "/bin/zonename" ] ; then
   ZONE=`/bin/zonename`
fi

Then where the kstat command is I have this, which only shows the active
inferfaces on the global zone.  For below solaris 10 it will consider it
a global zone and it works there too: (the LINE= is suppose to be all 1
line).

if [ "${ZONE}" = "global" ] ; then
   echo "[ifstat]"
   LINE=`/sbin/ifconfig -a | /bin/egrep RUNNING | /bin/awk -F':'
'{printf $1"\n"}' | /bin/sort -u | /bin/awk '{printf $1"|"}'`
   /usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | sort | egrep "${LINE}"
   #/usr/bin/kstat -p -s '[or]bytes64' | sort
fi

The problem is not about active interfaces but about the name "e1000g0". It will not be taked into account for creating a rrd file. This means there is no ifstat.e1000g0.rrd and therefore no "Network Traffic" graph in the trends.

Found the problem, tested and fixed it on our Hobbit install.  In the
do_ifstat.c file, change:

static const char *ifstat_solaris_exprs[] = {
        "^[a-z]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):obytes64\\s+(\\d+)",
        "^[a-z]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):rbytes64\\s+(\\d+)"
};

To this:

static const char *ifstat_solaris_exprs[] = {
        "^[a-z0-9]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):obytes64\\s+(\\d+)",
        "^[a-z0-9]+:\\d+:([a-z0-9]+):rbytes64\\s+(\\d+)"
};


The problem is that, before hand all interfaces only had letters in them
as the base, "dmfe", "ce", "eri", "ge", "hme", etc...  The T2000 has
some even with "ipge", this works.  The "e1000g" does not.  The change
above allows the interface now to have letters and numbers in it.  You
just need to recompile and re-install.


Any way this code change can get into the base?  I didn't bother
providing a diff as it's quite a minor change.  This just affects the
ifstat_solaris_exprs.

Thanks.

The problem is not about active interfaces but about the name "e1000g0".
It 
will not be taked into account for creating a rrd file. This means there
is no 
ifstat.e1000g0.rrd and therefore no "Network Traffic" graph in the
trends.

Hi all,

In Hobbit 4.2.0 is there a way to set up a test from an internal network
to test http of an outside host, such as a DSL router?   Cavaet:  A
proxy server is required to get out and also the DSL is a dynamic IP.
This is on Solaris 10.

I currently have a line similar to this in the bbhost file.   NSLOOKUP
to the real host name works but ping fails (of course) since there is no
host file entry.

0.0.0.0 DSL1 # noconn https://dsl1.dyndns.biz:8080

Can anyone provide a detailed example of how to accomplish this?

Dunno about using proxies in Hobbit web tests, but I've had a lot of
success with external scripts using curl:

   curl -x http://proxy.domain.com:80/ -o page.html https://dsl1.dyndns.biz:8080

then examine page.html to see if it contains something you expect to see.
