[hobbit] RE: Hobbit/BBWin bug? hobbit_client dumping core.

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi all 
 
I have investigate this a little further, and found something more
curious which does seem to point to a bug either in the Hobbit code, or
the BB-Win patch code.
(I need my C guy to get back from leave to investigate which)
 
In hobbit-clients.cfg
If I have a config like
HOST=winhost01
    SVC "Service1" startup=automatic status=started color=red
Then everything is good.
 
However, if I leave out the startup clause and have this
HOST=winhost01
    SVC "Service1" status=started color=red
    # (I don't care how it starts, just make sure it is started)
Then it starts dumping core.
 
Cheers
      V

Interesting.
It is coring with both.
Server1    Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Service Pack
1 (build 3790)
Server2    Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 (build 2195)
 
Makes me think there is a problem with my config, but I don't see it.
Anybody with sharper eyes than myself spot anything?
 
If it is my config, why would this cause Hobbit to keel over?
Surely it should report an error in the logs, and ignore the bad part of
the config?
 
Regards
     Vernon

Hi all
 
I was mistaken.
Even with the 3 hosts defined seperately, I still get the cores.
I also get this in clientdata.log
2008-09-08 13:25:28 Worker process died with exit code 134, terminating

This is easily reproduced, and goes away if I comment out the 3 hosts.
 
I will uncomment them one at a time, and let you know if it is confined
to only one.
 
Regards
    Vernon

Hi all
 
Had a problem with Hobbit over the weekend, which may be a bug. The dev
guys might want to have a look at it.
 
We are monitoring a number of Windoze servers, all running BBWin -
Latest edition.
Server1    Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Service Pack
1 (build 3790)
Server2    Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 (build 2195)
	Server3    Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4 (build
2195)
 
Hobbit server is running 4.2.0 with all-in-one patch applied on Red Hat
Linux 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5
We also have the required BBWin patch applied.
 
In hobbit-client.cfg I had the servers configured as
HOST=server1,server2,server3
        SVC "AppStart" startup=automatic status=started color=red
        SVC "AppServer" status=started color=red
        PROC AppStart.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC Appserver.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC AppHelper.exe 1 -1 red
 
Hobbit started core dumping, and many tests went purple.
Under the hobbit server, a new column "hobbitd_client" appeared as red.
 
Changed the entries to 
 
HOST=server1
        SVC "AppStart" startup=automatic status=started color=red
        SVC "AppServer" status=started color=red
        PROC AppStart.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC Appserver.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC AppHelper.exe 1 -1 red

HOST=server2
        SVC "AppStart" startup=automatic status=started color=red
        SVC "AppServer" status=started color=red
        PROC AppStart.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC Appserver.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC AppHelper.exe 1 -1 red
 
HOST=server3
        SVC "AppStart" startup=automatic status=started color=red
        SVC "AppServer" status=started color=red
        PROC AppStart.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC Appserver.exe 1 -1 red
        PROC AppHelper.exe 1 -1 red
 
Ran ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop hobbit hobbitd_client"
And all was well.
 
I have saved a few of the cores if anybody is interested in
investigating this one.
 
Regards
     Vernon
