bb2 problem with pageset ? 🔗 link

Hi,

i'm running RC, and have noticed on the bb2 page of my UNIX pageset, that i have history event of all, not just of my unix servers...

Is this a bug ?

Has that changed ? it wasnt like this before (4.1.2p2)

let me re-explain,
i have a global bb2.html and unix pageset and a nt pageset that i use for bb2.html only.
on my unix pageset bb2.html page, i have alerts of unix servers and eventlog of unix AND nt servers

i pretty confused..

Same here now that I'm checking.
The bb2.html page for pageset is correct but the events in the bottom is reporting all events and not only those of the pageset.

Hi,

On the server side, in hobbit-clients.cfg, i ve this:

DEFAULT
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 60 80
        MEMACT  95 97
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5

The problem is that some hosts have more than 5 cron running.

So i declared before DEFAULT section, a specific host to override the
global PROC values:

For instance, the host is called "mrtg-wat":

HOST=mrtg-wat
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 20

But it doesn't work, Hobbit takes the 2 values as 2 differents check.

 %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 26, req. between 1 and 20)
 %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 26, req. between 1 and 5)

Is there a way to change this behaviour in order to override the DEFAULT
value for PROC ?

Hobbit version: hobbit-4.1.2p1

Thanks
Nicolas

Putting PROC entries in the DEFAULT section is generally a bad idea,
unless you never - ever - want to have exceptions from the rule.

I'd suggest removing it from the default section, and using this
instead:

HOST=*
	PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5 EXHOST=mrtg-wat
	PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 HOST=mrtg-wat

or some similar configuration.

Hobbit version: hobbit-4.1.2p1

Ouch, there's some problems with the config file parsing in the 4.1.2
releases. I'm not entirely sure the above will work in 4.1.2p1; you may 
have to list the hosts explicitly for this. It's fixed in the 4.2
release candidate currently being tested.

HI,

Thanks for answear.

Indeed, it doesn't seem to work correctly with this hobbit version:

HOST=*
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5 EXHOST=mrtg-wat,test-host
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 30 HOST=mrtg-wat
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 6 HOST=test-host

The results for test-host on PROC was:

&unknown %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 30)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 6)

Other servers which are'nt in EXHOST have this behaviour:

green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 30)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 6)

As you suggested, i changed conf like this (list the hosts explicitly) :

HOST=*
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5 EXHOST=mrtg-wat,gie-s2if-front2

HOST=test-host
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 6

HOST=mrtg-wat
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 30


it seems to work but there is a strange behaviour for the global rule and
EXHOST:

test-host PROC show this:

&unknown %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 6)

Others hosts are OK (only the global PROC).

Do you know what the "unknown" state means ? is it obstructing ?

Thanks
Nicolas

Hi,

i'ld like to have custom graph using NCVq with a GAUGE, 
but hobbit creates the rrd with DERIVE..
here my definition: NCV_sessions="current_sessions:GAUGE,maxlimit:NONE"

is this a bug ?

That's because hobbit strips under_scores from the DS name. Try :
