Re: [hobbit] Attack of the purple port

Yellow "hobbitd" status points to either hobbitd just being restarted,
or some errormessages logged at the bottom of the hobbitd status
display. If the latter, what are those messages ? (They should be in
the hobbitd.log file also).


you were right, hobbitd was yellow because I had restarted it. It's
green now, but ports is still purple.

If you view any status for the Hobbit server, there should be a "Client
data" link at the bottom of the page. If you click on that link, is
there a section beginning with "[ports]" ? If not, the client logfile is
probably the best place to start troubleshooting it (the
"hobbitclient.log" in the Hobbit logs directory).


Looking at "client data" link, there is no section beginning with "[ports]"
I stopped the hobbit server, no hobbit processes running, then emptied
hobbitclient.log, and restarted hobbit (so I can get a fresh view of
hobbitclient.log)
and waited ~15 minutes, and saw nothing show up in hobbitclient.log.
Just so it's noted, /var/log/hobbit/hobbitclient.log is owned and
writeable by hobbit, and other log files are being updated.

I also noticed that in /usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd/<server> there is no
ports.rrd file
hobbitd_client is running.

help! :-) I'll try rebooting the server. Nope, that didn't fix it....

Yep, that introduction usually ends with such reservation
