[hobbit] Failures not reported

[Jones, Jason (Altrincham)]

Hi,

We do have Openmanage and use the script by Dave Sobel for the power
supply failures there and I am working on a hard drive one (though I may
have found one for that too so just need to edit it to work on windows),
the only problem is we have openmanage on a limited number of our linux
boxes, so I was wondering if there are any openmanage equivalents for
linux or a way to get linux to report the status on the command line,
after that scripting is easy I'm just not a very advanced linux user, if
any beyond K&R and the development community can be called one :)

Thanks,
Jason

Hi,

I guess "Hobbit-Out-of-the-box" wouldn't do the job. 
If the hardware/OS has tools to determine the status of PSU's,
temperature sensors, raids, disks... then you can compile your own
script to report states / failures / values to your hobbit server.

For a SUN based environment (and probably other) there are scripts
available at www.deadcat.net.au

Another useful way is to monitor your devices via SNMP. You can use the
bb-xsnmp.pl script from deadcat or use the devmon tool
(http://devmon.sourceforge.net/) which has a more generally approach in
monitoring snmp enabled devices.

Hi all,

Does hobbit have the ability to monitor power supplies and hard drive
statuses? i.e. we had a hard drive failure the other day and hobbit did
not warn on it, also a power supply failed today (there were 2 so the
server didn't go down) and again no alert, does anyone have an ext
script for these or does hobbit have the facility somewhere I don't know
about?

Thanks,
Jason.
