[hobbit] Hobbit on Solaris 10 x86

[Everett, Vernon]

Hi
 
I have had this problem as well.
I know, it a horribly vague problem description, but there is not much
else to report.
I was also getting messages truncated and a yellow on hobbitd.
When I tried to change them in the config files, nothing changes. The
truncated size remained the same, hobbitd remains yellow, and tests
remain purple.
I then edited the hobbitd_buffer.c and increased the size limits, did a
recompile, and it's been great ever since.
Probably not a good thing to do considering my wealth of ignorance
regarding C, but as they say in the military, if it works, it's a good
idea.
 
Cheers
   Vernon

Mike,
I had similar symptoms on CentOS/RHL. It turns out a oversized [ports]
section caused truncation of message thus [files] [msgs] [procs] may
fail to get their data due to truncation. Check whether your 'hobbitd'
turns YELLOW at the same time. If so, 'client data' for hobbitd history
page will have lines saying this that oversized and truncated.

	Hi Mike, I don't know about your problem, but,

	 

	We're running lots of hobbit clients and servers on Solaris 10
x86 without any problems. 

	This includes running the full hobbit client inside Solaris 10
zones.

	 

	Jason.

	At the moment I'm seeing some rather strange things from clients
and indeed a server running on solaris 10 x86.

	 

	Occasionally and without pattern they will go purple, logging
into the server and checking the logs indicate that there is no problem
at all.. I've setup a new hobbit server on a new Solaris 10 x86 server
and have seen in the last 48hours it's gone purple at least 3 times, the
only client on this server is the server itself so it's not a load
issue. 

	 

	The clients going purple are on our live monitoring solution, I
have tried them in both local and nonlocal mode but with similar results
every now and again they will go purple for no reason.

	 

	I've added -debug to the hobbitd lines in an effort to debug the
problem but as yet I havn't found anything, has anyone else come across
any similar issues?

	 

	Regards,

	 

	Mike Rowell
