[hobbit] allinone and other patch on Debian?

[Calvey, Mike]

I am running dbcheck and have limited graphs. I wanted to apply this
patch to increase the graphing. Looking into the
hobbit-perl-client.patch I see a few more headings (see selected
extracts below) and assume these will do more than tablespace?


+[HitCache]
+[TblSpace]
+[TblSpace1]
+[RollBack]
+[InvObj]

+int do_dbcheck_memreq_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg,
time_t tstamp)
+int do_dbcheck_hitcache_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg,
time_t tstamp)
+int do_dbcheck_session_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg,
time_t tstamp)
+int do_dbcheck_rb_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg, time_t
tstamp)
+int do_dbcheck_invobj_rrd(char *hostname, char *testname, char *msg,
time_t tstamp)

The only reason for this patch is to enable the graphs of the table
space. 
Since I didn't feel like deploying this patch on my production Hobbit
servers 
at the time ... I modified dbcheck.pl to print the tablespace in the
same 
format as the Hobbit disk check ... which allows us to have the
tablespace 
graphs (on the trends page only, not on the tablespace check
unfortunately).

There is more benefit to running dbcheck without the Hobbit patch than 
patching Hobbit ... so I would only waste time on this once you are
actually 
monitoring your Oracle servers with dbcheck.

However ... this does lead to some questions about patches to Hobbit.
There is 
the hobbit-perl-client patch, the BBWin patch, and shortly one for
Devmon. 
Hopefully this isn't going to result in the Qmail situation (where Qmail

administrators spend more time massaging the patches they want than
anything 
else ...). Can we expect integration any of these patches upstream (say,
in a 
Hobbit 4.2.1 release)?

Buchan
