We have discovered that when the Solaris 10 Hobbit client sends its data to
the server the file size of the client data/host data is fairly large.  Is
there a way to chuck the data into pieces, or to compress the data on the
client side, prior to sending, and uncompress on the server side, to parse
it in?

Can you quantify 'large'?  Do these Solaris hosts have a large number of processes running?  The process list is probably the culprit.  If 'top' (or the solaris equivalent) is being used on the client, then the process list is essentially being duplicated.  I usually turn it off at the client end.

Our files are between 20 - 40 MB for the hobbit client data files from
Solaris.  Under the CPU check, it only shows the uptime, total processes
running (about 200) and load.  There is no top for this information.

Check the output of the relevant ps command.  I had one system that
was running a web environment, including java.  The resulting ps
output was many tens of MBs.

If that isn't it, take a look at the output of the hobbit client and
see if anything obvious appears.

It looks like it's specific to your system(s) as I run the Hobbit client
on a number of Solaris 10 zones, containers and stand-alone servers with
no issues. Picking a server at random it delivers a 77Kb packet so you
need to look at what the client is actually transferring back.

Which section of the ~hobbit/tmp/msg.HOSTNAME.txt is that large ? It's
usually the "ps" or "ports" listings, but 20-40 MB is really huge (and
Hobbit will probably truncate them when they are being received at the
Hobbit server).

[Apparently there was a problem the first time I sent this... trying again, text only...]

Problem:  Disk Utilization graphs are not showing the correct
information when one partition is not mounted. Disk utilization trend
graphs are not consistant in displaying the information.

I am monitoring 3 file systems: '/', '/data, and '/backup'.

The /backup partition is only mounted while backups are actually running which only takes a few minutes.  When the backup completes, the /backup drive is unmounted. 
In all cases, the text (from 'df') on the web page correctly lists the partitions that are mounted and correctly displays any disk space
alerts:
/data (27% used) has reached the WARNING level (25%)

Filesystem         1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on
LABEL=ROOT1            8652060   3039788   5172772      38% /
/dev/sda7             14740312   3753364  10238176      27% /data

When the backup partition is mounted, the disk utilization image displays all three partitions in the line graphs and lists all 3 backup' with the cur/max/min/avg data below the line graph.

When the backup partition is not mounted, the image displays only the '/' root and '/backup' partition in the line graph, and only lists '/' and '/backup' with the cur/max/min/avg data below the line graph.
The '/data' partition is not displayed/listed anywhere in the image.


Looking for some suggestions as to why / how this is happening and if there is something I can do to fix this.

thanks for any suggestions/pointers,
Tom
