Temperature.sh doesn't work on Solaris 10 since the prtdiag it use to report temperature doesn't work anymore. In Solaris 10, prtdiag command no longer support temperature reporting. tj

Hi for some time I am having problems with out ping test of hobbit. It runs longer that the time intervall. Is it possible to speed up the test? I don't want to make the intervall longer. I am using the hobbitping. I tried doubling --max_pps from 50 to 100 with no effect. Most of the time the DNS-lookup eats up 20 seconds, but sometimes it is near zero! Why that? Most of my monitored system have a testip tag, so should not do any DNS lookup at all. But some WLAN accesspoints which are configured for using DHCP does not have the testip tag. In the manpage of hobbitping I read something about a runtime of 18 seconds for 1000 clients. Why it is so slow on my machine? It's a fast machine, Opteron with 1GBit network interface.

My experience with "hobbitping", is that it is just slower. You are
better off downloading and installing "fping". Once you do this, you
will need to rebuild hobbit and select fping in the build process. The
"hobbitping" tools was a nice idea, but never was fully developed.

Subject: [hobbit] ping test is too slow
Hi
for some time I am having problems with out ping test of hobbit. It runs
longer that the time intervall. Is it possible to speed up the test? I
don't want to make the intervall longer.
I am using the hobbitping. I tried doubling --max_pps from 50 to 100
with no effect.
Most of the time the DNS-lookup eats up 20 seconds, but sometimes it is
near zero! Why that? Most of my monitored system have a testip tag, so
should not do any DNS lookup at all. But some WLAN accesspoints which
are configured for using DHCP does not have the testip tag.
In the manpage of hobbitping I read something about a runtime of 18
seconds for 1000 clients. Why it is so slow on my machine? It's a fast
machine, Opteron with 1GBit network interface.

Bruce's answer was 100% pertinent to the question asked, and in my experience the proper answer. Hobbitping is not everything it could be, and it's much better from the get-go to use fping. Whether you like the answer or not doesn't make it any less an answer. --- Jerald M. Sheets jr.

Hello again Is there really no other option to speed up the ping test, maybe by using multiple instance of fping/hobbitping. A collegue has the same issue on a Hobbitserver running on HPUX. I am running Redhat EL. Thorsten Erdmann user-9219fb9415b1@xymon.invalid schrieb am 18.06.2010 14:06:43:

I am running RHEL5.2, but am not having anywhere near the latency you are. The only apparent difference between our output is that I am on Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2. I am also going over a gigabit network, but my DNS resolution time never crawls above the microseconds all that much. Your OP states that sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds to get resolution, and I'm wondering if that isn't where you need to concentrate your efforts? As much as I hate to suggest such a thing because of other potential bugs, could you gain any benefit from having nscd running on the Xymon host only? --- Jerald M. Sheets jr.

I'll agree with jerald on this one. If your DNS is not resolving properly, it can increase your ping times as well, because ping does a DNS lookup as well when it executes. Check your DNS server/records, walk through your bb-hosts file to determine if something is timing out/not resolving, and I suspect you'll find the culprit

Hello, thanks for your answers and suggestions. But I fear I have some problems understanding what you mean. But first I think you need some more information. Most of our monitored systems where monitored via IP-address, not via hostnames by using the "testip" tag. Only 196 systems are tested using DNS-names.

If your DNS is not resolving properly, it can increase your ping times as well, because ping does a DNS lookup as well when it executes.
Ok, but then the turnaround time calculation of Hobbit would be wrong. The 20 seconds DNS resolve time is included in the ping test time, so it is double calculated!?
▸
Check your DNS server/records, walk through your bb-hosts file to determine if something is timing out/not resolving, and I suspect you'll find the culprit
How can I check DNS server/records if I have no administrative access to the DNS server. The DNS server entries on my Hobbit server seems to be correct: # cat /etc/resolv.conf domainname de068.corpintra.net search de068.corpintra.net nameserver 53.42.4.22 # primary DNS server nameserver 53.42.6.22 # secondary DNS server But I think you are right with some DNS problems, because we have some timing issues sometimes with accessing server shares and something. But I don't know how to find out this. So if there is somebody out there who is willing to help me resolving this, you man conatact me personally on thorsten dot user-85e84abddd63@xymon.invalid, because this would be not a real Hobbit related problem and so does not fit exactliy on this list.
▸
resolution time never crawls above the microseconds all that much.
Your OP
states that sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds to get resolution, and
I'm
I think this meant that all DNS queries together in one run of the network test is 20 seconds. At 196 hosts using DNS this would be 0.1 seconds per host.

As much as I hate to suggest such a thing because of other potential bugs, could you gain any benefit from having nscd running on the Xymon host only?
What do you mean with Xymon host _only_. On my Hobbit host there seems to be no nscd running at all: # ps -ef |grep nscd root 1279 25262 0 11:00 pts/1 00:00:00 grep nscd Should it run, if the Hobbit host is not a DNS server? Thorsten Erdmann
