RE: [hobbit] Purple Problems



Trying running the main client script by hand to make sure none of the
commands hang (from the client ~/client/bin directory):
 
./bbcmd sh -x hobbitclient-<your OS>.sh   # replace <your OS> with the
proper OS

If ~/client/tmp/msg.<hostname>.txt is being created then there is
probably no need to execute the line above. You checked for ghosts as
others sugested right?

	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?

	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,
