Feature request

On my old bb server, I could click on any server's trends and it would
take to a page with the history displayed on the graphs. More
importantly, up top it would give me a lot of options like "<this
trend> for all servers in <category>" or "<this trend> for all
servers". Using this I could view memory usage/ping times/disk usage
(etc.) for every server I have all on 1 page. Is there a workaround to
get this? Is it possible I can get this in as a feature request?

Thanks

Your description doesn't sound like anything I've seen with standard
BB+LARRD.

How/where are the "<category>" groupings described ?

Please see attached, sorry if it's too big - I'm not an image guy:)

See right under "Load Average Trends for x" and right above the first
graph there are three links.
Since this server is located under "page Mail Mailservers" in
bb-hosts, so it gives me a link for "Load Average Trends Pages: Mail".
When I click that link, it gives me a page listing every load average
graph for every server in Mail.
If I click "Load Average Trends: All Hosts" I get a (albeit big) page
of graphs for every server.
Of course, it's not limited to load average, I could do it for
anything - disk usage, memory usage, number of users, etc. It helped
me spot trends quite a few times.

I think this comes from butter-1.0.6, not larrd, sorry for the confusion.

Thanks

Dan

Hi all

 
If anybody here did ever use the butter grapher with bigbrother in the past, the same might remember the neat thing of being able to compare for example cpu graphs for, all hosts in its group or all hosts monitored.  I include example.. is nobody understands what in the heck I am talking about   :-)

 
Hope that somebody with tiny html knowledge ...pulls this off    :-)

I never used Butter myself. Did this build a single image with multiple
graphs, or one html page with several (individual, one per host) graphs in it ?

A recent addition in Hobbit is that you can generate e.g. a "cpu load" graphs for multiple hosts. There's no tool to generate the magic URL
yet, but if you pull e.g. the cpu load graph - the page where you have
the 4 graphs - then you can add more hosts to the "host=..." part of
the URL. Just list the hosts you want to see, separated by commas.  E.g.

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/hobbitgraph.sh?host=voodoo.hswn.dk,fenris.hswn.dk&service=la&action=menu

Would it be useful if you could put a "page=<regex>" and/or
"host=<regex>" into the URL, and then Hobbit would build the list of
hostnames automatically ?

(Silly question, I know someone will say "yes!")

It won't do it at the group-level; Hobbit has a problem with that
because groups dont have names, so they are difficult to identify.

Henrik

Personally I think comparing is easier if it's on one graph instead of
multiple - but there are different opinions on that, I know.

If it's something you won't be changing much, you could just create
a simple static HTML page with links to the dynamically created
graph images. It would go something like this:

<html>
  <body>
   <img src="/cgi-bin/hobbitgraph.cgi?host=host1&service=la&graph=hourly&action=view">
   <br>
   <img src="/cgi-bin/hobbitgraph.cgi?host=host2&service=la&graph=hourly&action=view">
   <br>
  </body>
</html>

Just add more <img src=...> and <br>lines for the hosts you want.

The "service=..." defines which graph you see - you can look at the
URL's for the graphs you want to use and just copy the "service"
setting.

"graph=hourly" shows the 48-hour graph. You can use "daily", "weekly", 
or "monthly" for the other graph periods.

Probably been asked for before, but here goes.

 
On some of our busier servers we have very long lines of checks, many of
which are closely associated with other checks on that line, what I
would like to do is group them on that server line under a name which
links to a subpage with the checks I want in them so for instance.

 
Infra-01 conn cpu disk files info int01-08 memory meta msgs oradb orasys
oratns oralocks aq ports procs ssh trends

 
Under the way I would like them you could group all the ora checks under
a separate title and page so it would like as follows

 
Infra-01 conn cpu disk files info int01-08 memory meta msgs Oracle ports
procs ssh trends

At the moment this test shows a "clear" icon.

bb-ack is a C program (web/bb-ack.c in the hobbit source directory), which
emits the web page.  You'd need to alter the source, then recompile and
install it.

The commands used in the Hobbit client should ignore NFS-mounted
filesystems. The Solaris client in Hobbit 4.2.0 didn't ignore the "lofs"
filesystems, but that has been corrected.

So if you have any others that you want to ignore, please let me know.

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the fast response.  This client is running
hobbitclient-sunos.sh,v 1.5, and runs the command:
/bin/df -n|awk '{print $3}'|egrep -v "^proc|^fd|^mntfs"|sort|uniq
On this system it returns :
mvfs
nfs
tmpfs
ufs

is the client out of date maybe? It is nfs there seems to be trouble
with, basically the way my colleages want it (I'm just the messenger
they cry to and blame) is that hobbit doesn't look at network mounts
because they are all ready monitored on a different machine.

Thanks,
Jason.

The commands used in the Hobbit client should ignore NFS-mounted
filesystems. The Solaris client in Hobbit 4.2.0 didn't ignore the "lofs"
filesystems, but that has been corrected.

So if you have any others that you want to ignore, please let me know.

Hello,

I have installed the dbcheck.pl to test a Oracle base on my hobbitmon 
server and I have the error :
ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_HOME env var, NLS settings, 
permissions, etc.


My server is a SLES 9 SP3 x86_64 and I use Oracle InstantClient 10R2

any idea ?

Cheers

I've not tested the dbcheck.pl with the InstantClient because I've a
full 10r2 client installed on the machine but checking on some mailing
list archive it seems that InstantClient and DBD::Oracle have some
problems working together....
One suggestion I've found was to set the  Oracle_home (in the
dbcheck.ini file) to the lib directory instead of the root into which
the instant client is installed (something like
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.2/client/lib)...
Another thing is to check that you have the following package installed
(took from the DBD:Oracle readme)
* The "Basic" package for the essential Oracle libraries.
* The "SDK" package for the headers and makefile.
* The "SQL*Plus" component is optional, but will help you check your
configuration and DBD::Oracle determine your Oracle version.
Then you can try to define the full hostname/port/sid/user/password in
the dbcheck.ini file under the db you want to configure (it should skip
the tnsnames.ora and go through to the db server). Or you can try to
define your db in a tnsnames.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and
put only sid username and password in the dbconfiguration.

What version of DBD::Oracle module are you using? Did it compile/test
successfully? Can you check if with sqlplus you can connect correctly to
that database?

Hi,

If not already possible I was wondering if you could line up the
histories of the servers i.e.

Server1 [-------------!---------]
Server2 [--------------x--------]
Server3 [-----------------------]

(- = green, ! = yellow, x = red), it would be useful to see if a problem
on one server may have been caused by an error on another i.e. process
on one machine failed and so the other machine couldn't access the
database.

I know you can use the DEPENDS tag etc. but it would be useful to
identify where the DEPENDS tag could be used.

Just a thought :)
Jason.

Subject: RE: Oracle 10g Instantclient

The Makefile.PL will now work for  Oracle 10g Instantclient. To have
both the Compile and
the test.pl to work you must first have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly
set to your "instantclient" directory.
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.h

directory as follows
"ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so". It is needed for both the
makefile creation and the compile but is not need for the test.pl. It should be removed after the compile.
If the Makefile.PL or make fails try creating this link directly in your

I have recompiled the DBD:Oracle correctly and "make test" it's OK when

LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME are correctly setting

In command "server\bin\bbcmd bash", I have verified this 2 variables and 
made the "make test". the result is OK.

When I test with dbcheck.pl (in bbcmd) I have always the same error :

Quick Feature request

 
Service Intelligence

 
By that I mean, under certain circumstances allow services to go above
threshold levels..

 
So for example, if a process x is running on a database server allow CPU
to go above y

 
You could also say

 
If a reload process is happening on server x allow http to not alert

 
Just an idea that came to me while discussing batch job load on a
database server that one of our teams is using.  Where a specific batch
job could send the cpu load high and that is expected, but the batch job
isn't scheduled and is just run as and when.  But the control has to be
fairly fine grained to stop the server not alerting when there is an
issue.

Would be nice if client-local.cfg file can accept PAGE name instead of
just CLASS.

For hobbit-clients.cfg file I can just create rules using PAGE, as well as HOST.

For client-local.cfg file even from a group of host under a page or

short answer is "no".

The longer answer is that although several people over the years have
discussed building a more modern web interface, noone has yet begun

Funny you ask, from the creator of BBWin GUI comes MAGMA (A XYMON System for the text fileless user)


I just happen to be creating that very thing.


I will be releasing it as full VM appliance instead of a download and install to help save config time.


The appliance has a CENTOS 5 LINUX, XYMON, MYSQL, PHP all preinstalled and ready to start using, just add your hosts and select the external tests you want to apply, log types to monitor, and set all thresholds for Memory, cpu, disk, procs, ports and services strait from a web GUI. I also changed up the look of the interface. The agents should be in "central" mode.


I been testing it on IPAD to make sure all menus and functions work on handhelds.


I am beta testing it now so people can expect a release in 30 day or so. If interested shot me an email and I will send you mail when released.


This may not be for the hardened XYMon user who likes the granulator of text file configs but for the other 98% of the admins out there this would be a perfect interface to XYMON clients.

I actually spoke to a coworker yesterday about this very subject.  She teaches an online web design class and is always looking for student projects.  This semester is winding down but she said she is going to keep this in mind as an option for students next semester (January) that are looking for a project and would like to be able to point to a real-world example in their portfolio.  No one would be under any obligation to adopt it.  I thought it might help fill a need in Xymon that has been requested many times and give us the possibility to have a "themes" page added to the Xymonton site.

I could package it up as a tarball, I had to hack up some of the Web and LIB C code in the source used to generate the CGIs in the bin dir to affect my look and feel. This makes it hard to version against and new updates that may come out.

But if you want to keep your current look then the actual code that manages the Hosts, Analysis and Alerts will work on any version of XYMon and would not be affected by updates.

So I guess I need to create a side project to package up the "XYmon admin" outside of the new look and feel that I have created.

There is several new pieces I am included in the Appliance version that adds extra value to XYmon,

First being extra access security where you can use Web admin to add and remove users who have access to views, configs, reports and alarms.

#2 it comes with "247OnCall" my own make of a call rotation manager and PBX integration for alarms that will now call you and run you through a IVR for responses for alarms. This is also integrated in to the Alarms config area of the web manager.

I understand not all users of XYmon would have a compatible PBX to use so we are going to build Asterisk into the appliance with a simple web GUI to allow you to setup a VOIP account on it and then the 247OnCall processes will be able to use the internal PBX to make calls through thus making a nice closed system for your monitoring needs.

My hats off to Henrik for making such a flexible and useful application!!

Hi Henrik

The NCV feature in Xymon is fantastic, and I love it.
It's a quick and easy way to populate a graph with data.
My problem with it, is it sometimes works too well.
Sometimes, we have output that contains : or = that's not part of the
graphing data, and if you are using SPLIT_NCV, it dutifully tries to graph
this information, often with woeful results.
I am looking for a feature that we can use to tag a line as "NCV leave this
alone!"
Perhaps a string of hidden characters at the end of a line, or even a
string of visible characters, which the display process can strip out.

Regards
Vernon

Alternatively, a method to mark a section as NCV data, so that other
extraneous data are not misinterpreted.  Could be escaped in markup to
avoid being rendered, like so:

last update at 10:43:16
<!--
---NCV-BEGIN---
-->
apples: 3
oranges: 7
<!--
---NCV-END---

One of my scripts had something like

to convert all the colons I wanted to hide to the corresponding entity
name, which wouldn't cause that problem.  (OUTPUT would be concatenated

Replacing = too would just mean adding to the sed command:

I also like the ease of use of the NCV feature.
Most of the times I hand over the values as hidden html comment in my test
page:

<!-- Begin Xymon NCV section
name1:value1
name2:value2
end Xymon NCV section -->

Then I'm able to separate the more verbose human readable test output from
the NCV name value pairs.
This works like a charm, but sometimes Xymon gets confused if there are ":"
or "=" in the text output (like in date strings...).

What I would suggest is to extend the NCV feature to only grab such lines
with a special keyword like this:

name1:value1 NCVDATA
or
name1:value1 <!-- NCVDATA -->

Then Xymon need only to look for lines with the keyword NCVDATA.
(or maybe it is easier to create a second NCV type to keep backwards
compatability).

xymon will create an RRD named NameA.NameB.rrd containing two DS's. I use 
it often in stead of NCV.

Hi,

It should be very handy if there is an hosts-options.cfg file that can be used to specify device specific options that normally goes in the hosts.cfg file.

Has anyone started on a patch to separate the page layout and the possible options per device?
Is this something that other people can use as well?

Some examples:

- Monitor the ssh daemon on all Linux devices:
CLASS=Linux
   sshd

- Monitor the https website on the load balancers (name start with lb):
HOST=%^lb
    https://<BBHOSTNAME>;
-> <BBHOSTNAME> will be replaced per device by the device name

Hi,

With a syntax more like the analysis.cfg file where you can define rules and hosts.cfg text.

When a rule matches, it just appends the text to the hosts.cfg file.

For example, we have some TRENDS settings that we set on each Linux host and another one on each AIX host. This changes the graphs displayed on the trends page.
It should be handy to just specify this ones with a CLASS rule so each Linux / AIX gets the same TRENDS setting.
