New install - Which version to get ?

	Hi,

	I'm starting a new hobbit install session.

	I'll need to graph some sar I/O stats.

	Which version of hobbit would be the best ? 4.0 ? 4.1.2rc ?

	I'd like to have some autonomous system, including messages files  
scanning without getting some BB executables.


	TIA

	Nicolas

There's no built-in module to collect sar data in any Hobbit version.

The current production release is 4.1.2p1.
The current beta-release is 4.2-beta-20060605, with patches available at
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/betapatches/.

For logfile monitoring you will need to use the current beta-release.
The 4.1.x version does not support log monitoring.

For what it's worth, I've got the bb-sar module collecting data and have
just managed to hack the sar-grapher.cgi to kinda generate graphs. My
thanks to Alon Ofek for his detailed message on 24 Nov 2005 on getting
the collection to work -- but he left the graphing side just a bit less
well covered.

Having said the above -- this is fugly!

If I get some time, I'll be converting the collecting side to the hobbit
philosophy of os-neutral data in one sar rrd and move the graphing into
hobbitgraph.

I needed this because we've had a critical system crash 4 times since
last November on an error 23 -- too many files open in system. As near
as IBM can tell, the real problem was inode cache depletion, so I'm
graphing the inode data.

Hello,

I'm asking your help on the setting up of the Roracle script from deadcat. I've been looking at the documentation, setting up my variables but I only get one column : orasys. I got this message too, under Oracle Instance Check : 
"Instances specified in LOCAL_SIDS (HALI01) do not match those found in /etc/oratab (HALI01 HALS00  ....)"

Normally, I should get another column called oratab with databases properties. If someone got this script running and could give me some help to configure it properly, I would be happy ! Thanks !

Thomas

I had a similar problem once, turned out it was caused by the DBA's not
utilizing the autostart feature in the oratab file. If you have the
autostart column set to 'n' in oratab, roracle will ignore the entry.
Probably the easiest way to fix this is to copy the oratab file to another
directory (BBHOME/etc makes sense), modify the roracle script to find the
new file, and then edit the new oratab file so that there are 'y's next to
all the active databases.

Thanks,
Larry Barber

Hi Thomas

do you have the same SID (and only this one) in /etc/oratab ?

IIRC, the line must be something like this :

SID:/path/to/oracle/8.0.6:Y

Hello,

IMO you can't have 2 SIDs in /etc/oratab, and monitor only one with 
bb-roracle.sh

I use to create a "fake" oratab file in $BBHOME/etc, which contains only 
the SIDs I want to monitor.
