Purple results on server's tests
list Josh Luthman
I rebooted the hobbit server for power related reasons and since it came up the following tests are purple on the Hobbit server: bbgen/bbtest/cpu/disk/files/hobbitd/memory/msgs/ports/procs In bb-hosts the server looks like... 74.x.x.x serversname.imaginenetworksllc.com # bbd http://serversname.imaginenetworksllc.com/ The server was powered on at Sun Jan 27 05:17 but the purple reports are saying Mon Jan 28 10:11:15 2008. The time is reporting as... -> date Mon Jan 28 10:32:38 EST 2008 Anyone know how I broke it? =) Thanks in advance! -- Josh Luthman Office: XXX-XXX-XXXX Direct: XXX-XXX-XXXX XXXX Wayne St Suite XXXX Troy, OH XXXXX Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer

It's all of the tests that it sends to itself. Check the BBDISP setting in hobbitserver.cfg (which is usually picked up from BBSERVERIP), it must be an IP assigned to your Hobbit server.

Purple statuses are generated automatically, so they will show a current date in the upper right corner. You can check the history to see when they went purple - the last status was received 30 minutes before then. Henrik

I was thinking they were all related. Should there be a ps running that isn't that I can check for? Or would the ps only start upon hobbitd telling it to do its job? hobbitserver.cfg: BBSERVERIP="74.x.x.x" #my public that is definitely correct, it's eth0 BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP" #you are correct about this It went purple when it was booted: Sun Jan 27 05:27:52 2008 Really curious why this started happening when it was rebooted =/

I've seen this happen before myself. At least in the cases I've seen, it's usually because someone changed the hostname manually while the machine was up, but when it reboots it goes back to the defaults as defined in the appropriate configuration files. Check for any ghost reports. There's a good chance that you'll see a ghost, and that should help point you in the right direction.

Anything in the logs ? E.g. hobbitd.log or bb-display.log ought to have
some entries if things aren't going the way they should.
Is the main Hobbit webpage being updated ? Check the timestamp in the
upper righthand corner.
In hobbitlaunch.cfg you'll find a section like this:
[bbdisplay]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
Try running
bbcmd --env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
echo $MACHINE
echo $BBDISP
(i.e. use the ENVFILE filename for the --env option). Does the
MACHINE setting match your servers' hostname in bb-hosts?
(It will show commas instead of dots, but that is OK).
And BBDISP is correct ?

I think you both came to the problem at the same time... BBSERVERHOSTNAME was set incorrectly. I must have been completely high when I set this because it makes NO sense what I put in there... Thank you both very very much for getting back to me so quickly! I greatly appreciate the help!
