RE: [hobbit] Purple Problems



The Ghost Client list is blank and blue (Disabled?).

 

Checked eight clients out of the ~100 and all of them are able to telnet to
the server on port 1984 without issue.


Shutdown the client on a client only machine.  Copy /dev/null to
hobbitclient.log and  clientlaunch.log .  Started 'runclient.sh start'  --
hobbitclient.log is empty.  clientlaunch.log has two lines that show it has
started.

 

No change.

 

I shut down the client (on the server) and hobbit server itself.  Checked /
cleared the logs.  Restarted both the server, and after a couple minutes
restarted client on the server as well.

 

No change.  Still not showing at of the pertinent info.

 

On the server checked client-local.cfg and bb-hosts in hobbit's /etc
directory and they are fine and the last day of access was weeks before this
issue popped up.

 

 

 

Any other ideas?

 

/tg

 

 

P.S. All the file systems have ample available space.

What you did with your script is deleting all checks that are purple.
A purple check is a check that has not been updated for a while.  So
removing
a purple check can be done in 2 ways: like you did by deleting the check or
by sending a new status.  In your case, you need to check why the status is
not been send to the hobbit server.  Check the client logs, you can also try
a telnet on the hobbit port (default 1984) from the client to the hobbit
server to see if there is a network problem.  Also, check the ghost client
list (can be found on the hobbit server in the menu).

Happy new year and wishes you all a good monitoring time,
