server load issue?

Henrik,

For you consideration, I think the server may go a little crazy if you try to send updated client packages to too many hosts at the same time, false failed tests, pages sent on those same false failed tests, and status pages not available for those same false failed tests:

bb-display.log:
... 2006-11-30 01:11:44 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 01:11:44 hobbitd status-board not available

clientdata.log:
2006-11-30 00:51:20 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:56:12 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:58:17 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:59:41 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

hobbitclient.log:
[hobbit at hobbit1 logs]$ cat hobbitclient.log
2006-11-30 00:58:16 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

Here is what my config looks like client-local.cfg:

[temip-be-hpux11] # these are class names, not host names
clientversion:temip-be-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-fe-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-fe-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-tns-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-tns-hpux11v2
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240

I suppose I updated about 60+ remote hosts at once, perhaps we should just try to figure out what our server can handle?  Or should the server be made to be smarter?  The server is a simple 3 Ghz dual core Intel Fedora Core 5 host with 1G of memory.

Henrik, can you verify following change for hpux 10.20, there is no 
"x"(extented) option of ps on 10.20. instead I use "l" option instead.  the 
output of columns order looks the same on both 10.20 and 11.11.

Please include this one character change if you confirm the fix

4. Impact ?
Looks I am missing network trending graph on sol 2.6

5. Solutions
5.1 work around of /usr/bin/kstat since 2.6 has no kstat ?
5.2 I am thinkg of just delete this line "netstat -na -f inet6 -P tcp | tail 
+5",
     since ipv6 is supported on solaris 2.6.

This appears to happen when you try to update files like runclient.sh, hobbitclient.sh, and hobbitclient-`uname -s`.sh or any other file that is not write-able.

It can or was resolved by making the files write-able, a hassle for a bunch of hosts, and restarting the hobbit server.

Henrik,

For you consideration, I think the server may go a little crazy if you try to send updated client packages to too many hosts at the same time, false failed tests, pages sent on those same false failed tests, and status pages not available for those same false failed tests:

bb-display.log:
... 2006-11-30 01:11:44 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 01:11:44 hobbitd status-board not available

clientdata.log:
2006-11-30 00:51:20 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:56:12 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:58:17 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:59:41 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

hobbitclient.log:
[hobbit at hobbit1 logs]$ cat hobbitclient.log
2006-11-30 00:58:16 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

Here is what my config looks like client-local.cfg:

[temip-be-hpux11] # these are class names, not host names
clientversion:temip-be-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-fe-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-fe-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-tns-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-tns-hpux11v2
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240

I suppose I updated about 60+ remote hosts at once, perhaps we should just try to figure out what our server can handle?  Or should the server be made to be smarter?  The server is a simple 3 Ghz dual core Intel Fedora Core 5 host with 1G of memory.

This consistently causes me to have to restart the hobbit server before random false alerts start firing off pages when doing a clientupdate. It seems more related to the use of classes in bb-hosts and client-local.cfg.  The server is Fedora Core 5.  Clientupdates have caused this strange behavior on Itanium 64 HP-UX, OSF DG-UX 4, and Solaris 10 client hosts.
