Delay before seeing a new host in the Hobbit map
list Frédéric Mangeant
Hi again - with a "real" problem this time ;-)
when adding a new host in Hobbit, it takes sometimes a few minutes for this host's tests to appear on the map (only the host itself appears on the map).
I even run bbtest-net on it, but no files appear in ~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host>
$ echo "10.20.30.40 testhost" >> ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts
$ ~hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net --debug testhost

$ ls ~hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost
ls: ~/hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost: No such file or directory
The hobbitd column shows this :
Ghost reports:
10.20.30.40 reported host testhost
If I restart Hobbit, the host's test appear on the map and files can be found in ~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host>
It looks like this "delay" is equal to hobbitd's checkpoint interval (600 seconds by default)...
Do you have a clue ?
Thanks again.
Regards,

The "hobbitd" daemon which receives the status messages reloads the bb-hosts file at regular intervals (at the same time as dumping the checkpoint file). When you edit the bb-hosts file, it won't notice until it has reloaded the file - and that might be a few minutes away. You can force a reload by sending a HUP signal to the hobbitd proces; eg on Linux do "killall -HUP hobbitd". See the SIGNALS section of the hobbitd(8) man-page. Regards, Henrik

Im trying to run hobbit client under Solaris 10 Zones. When I start the client it gives me an error "prtconf: devinfo facility not available" Any thoughts? Thanks, Fabio
list Richard Deal
On sub zones change hobbitclient-sunos.sh /usr/sbin/prtconf To : /usr/sbin/prtconf -p On the global zone I change this line as well: Ps -ef To Ps -fz global Also if you use the prtdiag and meta ext scripts they are not of much use on sub zones.

Tried that but still gives me the same error. Any other idea?

My sub zones don't give an error when I run /usr/sbin/prtconf -p What do you get when you run it from the shell? I suppose you could comment out that section.

For the moment that was my solution, I commented the prtconf section!
