[hobbit] "Info" column slow on latest snapshot (20080422)

Wed Jul 23 12:38:07 CEST 2008

Interesting.  I've noticed a few core dumps - maybe this is occuring after a
core dump - perhaps some process is not restarting (properly)...  OK, well
it doesn't work for me after a stop and start of the hobbit server...

My site uses FQDN for the hobbit server (although not in the URL), but not
for most of the other hosts (but it still doesn't work for hosts that are
FQ)...

It seems that a stop and start of the hobbit server gets the "info" column
working again, at least until it stops working.  Also of note is that the
"info" column for the hobbit server itself is the first one to die.  I note
the only difference is that Henrik's site has the FQDN of the hobbit server,
where as I have the short name.

Debugging of the source code hasn't yielded any information, except that it
appears to die around where ho[Seb Auriol] nk or bbitsvc.c calls loadenv().
When I click on the "info" column, it looks like it is called as:
loadenv("/var/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg", "(null)") from within
hobbitsvc.c's main() function.  But then I have a feeling that could be a
little misleading with delays in writing to the log files I added.

Though I don't know exactly which snapshot that is running.

Yeah, three snapshots ago (I forget which one), the info page was slow to
load for me.  Then I put in another snapshot, and the info page would load
normally, but I would get intermittent "Internal Server Error" pages.  I
guess we can assume Henrik is working on updating the info page ;-)

I have the same problem with a different snapshot - it says
<http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/> Hobbit Monitor 4.3.0-0.20080403 at the
bottom of the web pages, but I'm pretty sure it's from 22nd May.  Basically
the "Info" column is very slow to display (takes 30 seconds) and most of the
info that should be there (comparing with Henrik's demo site) is missing,
including the option to disable tests, and I get the "Alert configuration
unavailable" message.  I wonder if there is a timeout trying to get the
alert configuration, which is why it eventually displays, but takes a while.
The info column used to work fine with an earlier snapshot (probably 18th
March) on the same server - I simply compiled and installed the newer
snapshot over the top of the old one and this problem started.  For
information:
-rwxrw-r--  1 hobbit hobbit     7044 Apr 15 19:40 hobbit-alerts.cfg
so Apache should be able to read it OK...  I even tried changing the group
owner to apache, but that didn't help.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Yeah, I tested and it takes about the same for me.  It feels a lot longer,
but I guess that's only because I'm used to it coming up so much quicker.
Wonder if it's related to the "Alert configuration unavailable" message.
I'm guessing that part is because Henrik hasn't finished rewriting it yet...

For me it takes about 15 seconds (tested twice, not statistically
significant ;) )

"not slow" would be, I click on "Info" and 10 seconds later or less, the
page is fully displayed.  It is taking about a minute for the page to load,
which is slower than the 4.2.0 hobbit server I have running.

If the page loads slow depends on what you expect. But I also get: Alerting:

Is anyone else experiencing a slow "info" page load with the 2008-04-22
snapshot?  It takes about a minute to load.
Also, I get this:
Alerting: Alert configuration unavailable

Admittedly, I just did an in-line install over the 4.2.0 release, so I don't
know if it's just a matter of some configuration file weirdness.
