[hobbit] drop test not sticking...

Wed Mar 21 01:55:09 CET 2007

Thanks.  group-only and group-except works like a charm.

NOCOLUMNS + bb drop does not work for me (the column disappears for a couple of minutes only).  I don't get this at all because it's documented and people keep telling me this is supposed to work.

bb-hosts
page CLIENTS Hobbit Clients
142.78.43.171   opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca          # NOCOLUMNS:files ctmoratst

then
# bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca files"

then wait 1-2 minutes for columns to disappear

then wait 1-2 minutes for columns to re-appear.

Look 
at these options for the bb-hosts file:

group-only COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title] 
Same as the "group" and "group-compress" lines, but includes only the 
columns explicitly listed in the group. Any columns not listed will be ignored 
for these hosts. 

group-except COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title] 
Same as the "group-only" lines, but includes all columns EXCEPT those 
explicitly listed in the group. Any columns listed will be ignored for these 
hosts - all other columns are shown. 

NOCOLUMNS:column[,column] 
Used to drop certain of the status columns generated by the Hobbit client. 
column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, 
msgs, ports, procs. This setting stops these columns from 
being updated for the host. Note: If the columns already exist, you must use the 
bb(1) 
utility to drop them, or they will go purple. 

Which 
one to use depends on whether you have a group of hosts that you don't want to 
show all values for, or if you need to do this on a host-by-host basis.  
Use "NOCOLUMNS" for controlling the display of individual hosts, and the "group" 
commands for groups.

  How 
  would you go about it?  First, check out my last 2-3 posts on this 
  topic.  I really don't know what else to try except maybe a clean 
  installation (which shouldn't make any difference).

  I think you are better off to hide these columns 
  than to try to get rid of the standard tests.  They are harmless with 
  default settings.

    That 
    didn't work.  Here is my bb-hosts 
    entry...

142.78.43.171   
    opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca          
    # NOCOLUMNS:msgs,ports,files,procs ctmoratst

I made the change in 
    bb-hosts, restarted the bb server (although not required I think) and then 
    dropped the tests using the following commands.

 bb 127.0.0.1 
    "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca msgs"
 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 
    opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca ports"
 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 
    opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca files"
 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 
    opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca procs"

They keep coming back and I'm getting 
    scared ;-)

P.S. The ctmoratst works fine.

    Try adding NOCOLUMNS:ports to the host in bb-hosts.
