http response time 🔗 link

I've just been asked if it's possible to alert on the response time recorded
in the built-in http test.  Anybody know??  I don't see anything in the
manual pages that would suggest it can be done.

Thanks,

Ralph Mitchell

Hi Ralph,

I don't think there is something like that in hobbit. But you might want to create a custom script including something like (perl)

# Aktuelles Datum
$t0          = time;
$ZEITSTEMPEL = localtime($t0);

##################################################################
# Check Website
##################################################################
#
system("wget -o /dev/null -O /tmp/ \"$REQUEST\" 2>/dev/null");

# Bestimmung des Ergebnissstatuses aus der Antwortzeit.
$elapsed = time - $t0;
if ( $elapsed <= 6 ){
  $STATUS = $OPTIMAL;
}
elsif ( $elapsed <= 12 ){
  $STATUS = $WARNUNG;
}
else {
  $STATUS = $FEHLER;
}

regards
Rolf

 I have used the bbwin version 0.9 on all our Windows server.
All the bbwin configs were  updated from the Hobbit server using the bbwinupdate.

Now, I have updated to the bbwin 0.11 version and wanted to use the same way like before.
But after the client is started, there are no bbwin.cfg.work and also no bbwin.cfg.update at the tmp folder.

At the new configuration, the bbwinupdate.dll also will be loaded and also the config path at the hobbit server was set like before.

Any ideas, what`s wrong there?

Thanks for that.  If I have to I'll do something similar in bash with curl,
as I'm more familiar with that:

   elapsed=`curl -s -S -L -w '%{time_total}' http://server.domain.com`

which gives me time in seconds, with millisecond resolution.

I'd like to get the graphs as well, without having to fiddle with the
message format.

OK, so it wasn't as hard as I thought to replicate the http built-in test.
This script does everything I need right now, though it could do with
refining:

  #!/bin/bash

  # Format in bb-hosts:  1.2.3.4 server.domain.com  # httpplus:warn:alert
  # warn and alert values are expressed in milliseconds, just because we can

  bbhostgrep httpplus\* | while read line
  do
    set $line
    TESTHOST=$2

    httpplus=`echo $line | $SED -e 's/^.* httpplus://' -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/:/
/g'`
    set $httpplus
    WARNVAL=$1
    ALERTVAL=$2

    URL="http://$TESTHOST/";
    res=`/usr/bin/curl -I -s -S -w 'Seconds:\t%{time_total}' $URL`
    ret=$?

    elapsed=`echo "$res" | $GREP Seconds: | $SED -e 's/^.*        //'`
    elapsed=`echo $elapsed \* 1000 | /usr/bin/bc | $SED -e 's/\..*//'`

    if [ "$elapsed" -gt "$ALERTVAL" ]; then
      COLOR=red
      STATUS="Server too slow"
    elif [ "$elapsed" -gt "$WARNVAL" ]; then
      COLOR=yellow
      STATUS="Server response degraded"
    else
      COLOR=green
      STATUS="OK"
    fi

    MACHINE=`echo $TESTHOST | $SED -e 's/\./,/g'`
    LINE="status $MACHINE.http $COLOR `date`: $STATUS
  &$COLOR $URL - $STATUS

  $res

  WARN at ${WARNVAL}ms, ALERT at ${ALERTVAL}ms"

    $BB $BBDISP "$LINE"
  done

It assumes that it's OK to use the hostname field for the url, and picks up
the WARN and ALERT times from the "httpplus" tag in the bb-hosts file.  It
also ignores any curl errors, such as timeout due to the server not
responding.

Hello Maik,

2008/5/8 Maik Heinelt <user-4ab5eb34adb2@xymon.invalid>:

Could you post your bbwin.cfg ? There is no change on bbwinupdate
since 0.9, only some minor bug fix. I have made new tests on BBWin
0.11 and it works fine.

Thank you,
