hobbit-announce@hswn.dk<BR>> Ämne: [hobbit] Hobbit 4.0 RC4
available<BR>> Automatiskt vidarebefordrat av en regel<BR>> <BR>OK, so
RC3 was slightly disastrous, and lots of patches have been<BR>flying around
this past week. So to get everyone aligned on the same<BR>code-base, I've
packaged up release candidate #4 which you'll find in<BR>the usual places:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbitmon/
and<BR>http://www.hswn.dk/beta/<BR><BR>This of course fixes the bugs that
caused RC3 to crash left and right.<BR><BR>I also have gone over the alert
code again, and now believe that it<BR>has reached a state of Nirvana where it
is "obviously correct". In<BR>other words, alerts should go out as intended;
if they don't then<BR>add the "--trace=FILENAME" option to hobbitd_alert and
let me have the<BR>logfile after you've re-created the problem.<BR><BR>The
flickering purples for disabled tests should be a thing of
the<BR>past.<BR><BR>Several problems with building on various platforms were
resolved.<BR>As part of this change, you must re-run the configure script to
have<BR>it pickup a couple of new settings that have been
added.<BR><BR><BR>Along the way, I found out that I'd made a slight error of
judgment in<BR>choosing the format of the hobbitlaunch.cfg file. So that has
changed!<BR>If you have modified your hobbitlaunch.cfg - especially if you
have<BR>deleted or commented out sections - I strongly advise you to copy
the<BR>new file over from hobbit-4.0-RC4/etcfiles/, or at least look over
the<BR>differences between that file and your current configuration.
"make<BR>install" will not overwrite the file, but it might re-add
sections<BR>that you have removed; instead of removing them or commenting
them<BR>o ut, add the keyword "DISABLED" to make them permanenly
disabled.<BR><BR>Also, the hobbitserver.cfg file didn't quote the commands
added for BB<BR>client scripts, resulting in errors being logged by some of
the<BR>reporting CGI scripts. So copy over the new hobbitserver.cfg file
that<BR>is generated in hobbitd/etcfiles/ when you build
hobbit.<BR><BR><BR>Full list of changes
below.<BR><BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Henrik<BR><BR><BR><BR>Changes from RC-3 ->
RC-4<BR>-------------------------<BR><BR>Bugfixes:<BR>* Loading the
bb-services file no longer causes bbtest-net,<BR>hobbitd_larrd et al to
crash.<BR>* The alert configuration loader was fixed, so that<BR>recipient
criteria are applied correctly.<BR>* hobbitd_alert handling of "recovered"
status messages was<BR>slightly broken. This was probably the cause of
the<BR>unexpected "green" alerts that some have reported.<BR>* SCRIPT
recipients can now have a "@" in their names without<BR>being silently treated
as MAIL recipients.<BR>* An acknowl edge message is now cleared when the
status changes<BR>to an OK color (defined by the --okcolors option).
Previously<BR>it would have to go "green" before the ack was cleared.<BR>*
Acked and disabled statuses can not go purple while the<BR>acknowledge or
disable is valid. This was causing brief flickers<BR>of purple for tests that
were disabled for more than 30 minutes.<BR>* maint.pl "combo" message support
was dropped. This was causing<BR>runtime warnings, and it has never been
possible to send enable<BR>or disable messages inside combo's (neither with
Hobbit nor BB).<BR><BR><BR>Building Hobbit:<BR>* bb-infocolumn should build
without problems again.<BR><BR>* The "configure" script now also looks in
/opt/csw for<BR>tools and libraries (for Solaris/x86)<BR><BR>* An OpenBSD
Makefile was contributed.<BR><BR>* The gcc option "-Wl,--rpath" is now used
when linking<BR>the tools on Linux and *BSD. This should resolve a lot
of<BR>the issues with runtime libraries that cannot be found.<B R><BR>*
"configure" now looks for your perl utility, and adjusts<BR>the maint.pl
script accordingly.<BR><BR>* HP-UX does not have an atoll() routine. So a
simple <BR>implementation of this routine was added.<BR><BR><BR>Configuration
file changes:<BR>* hobbitlaunch.cfg now supports a DISABLED keyword to
shut<BR>off unwanted tasks. This permits upgrading without having<BR>to
re-disable stuff.<BR>* All commands in hobbitserver.cfg are now quoted, so
it<BR>can be sourced by the CGI scripts without causing errors.<BR>Note that
this is NOT automatically changed in an existing<BR>configuration
file.<BR><BR><BR>Improvements:<BR>* The detailed status display now lets you
define what graphs<BR>should be split onto multiple graph images (the
"--multigraphs"<BR>option for bb-hostsvc.cgi and hobbitd_filestore).
Currently<BR>the "disk", "inode" and "qtree" graphs are handled this way.<BR>*
The detailed status display now includes a line showing how<BR>long an
acknowledgment is valid. This is conf igurable via the<BR>ACKUNTILMSG setting
in hobbitserver.cfg.<BR>* A new "notify" message is supported as part of the
Hobbit <BR>protocol. This takes a normal hostname+testname paramater,<BR>plus
a text message; this is sent out as an informational<BR>message using the
hobbit-alerts.cfg rules to determine recipients.<BR>This replaces the BB
"notify-admin" recipient with a more<BR>fine-grained and configurable system.
Currently used by<BR>maint.pl when enabling and disabling tests.<BR>* Alert
scripts now receive a CFID environment variable with the<BR>linenumber of the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file that caused this<BR>alert to go out.<BR>* A new tool -
hobbit-mailack - was added. If setup to run from<BR>e.g. the Hobbit users'
.procmailrc file, you can acknowledge<BR>alerts by responding to an alert
email.<BR>* Temperature reports now accept additional text in
parenthesis<BR>without being confused.<BR><BR><BR>-- <BR>Henrik
