[hobbit] monitoring Solaris client

[Ward, Martin]

Srinu,

 

The fact that you cannot see any disk, memory or other information
points to the fact that the client Xymon program is not running, or is
talking to your server on a different IP address.

 

Bring up the Xymon web page and look at the Ghost Clients report page.
Is your client listed there? Maybe under a different IP address?

 

If you cannot see anything useful in this page then login to the client
and change to the ~hobbit/client/logs directory. Look in the
hobbitclient.log file for connectivity issues. Also, whilst on the
client try connecting to the Xymon server on port 1984 like so:

$ telnet xymon.server.ip.address 1984

 

You should get a "connected" notice. If you don't then there is a
firewall/network/routing issue between the two boxes.

Hi,

I just installed  on a solaris box (SunOS pluto 5.10 Generic_120011-14
sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250), I have edited ~/etc/hobbitclient.cfg and
given xymon server IP and on Xymon server ~/server/etc/bb-hosts and
added this sun box ip address and hostname.

 I can only see conn, info, trends data. others such as cpu, disk,
memory, msgs are all empty. Am I missing something basic here or any
config changes I had to take care.

bash-3.00# MAKE=gmake ./configure.client

Configuration script for Hobbit client

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit

Checking your make-utility

Hobbit normally keeps all of the client configuration files
on the Hobbit server. If you prefer, it is possible to use
a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer
'client' to the next question.
NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host.

Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ?
client

Checking for the PCRE libraries
Checking for PCRE ...
Found PCRE include files in /opt/sfw/include
Found PCRE libraries in /opt/sfw/lib


Checking for Large File Support ...
ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support


What userid will be running Hobbit [hobbit] ?
xymon

Found passwd entry for user
xymon:x:60040:1::/export/home/xymon:/bin/bash


Where do you want the Hobbit installation [/export/home/xymon] ?

OK, will configure to use /export/home/xymon as the Hobbit toplevel
directory


What is the IP-address of your Hobbit server [127.0.0.1] ?
xxx.xxx.xx.x6



Using SunOS Makefile settings



Created Makefile with the necessary information to build Hobbit
Some defaults are used, so do look at the Makefile before continuing.

Configuration complete - now run gmake (GNU make) to build the tools
bash-3.00#



bash-3.00# gmake
bash-3.00# gmake install


bash-3.00# vi etc/hobbitclient.cfg
"etc/hobbitclient.cfg" 52 lines, 1690 characters
# Environment settings for the Hobbit client.

BBDISP="xxx.xxx.xx.xx9"             # IP address of the Hobbit server


bash-3.00# ./runclient.sh start
Hobbit client for sunos started on pluto


-bash-3.00# vi /export/home/xymon/server/etc/bb-hosts
xxx.xxx.xx.x6   APT-NCC-NSW-rhoSpluto


Let me know what all other information I can provide.

Thanks all for your help,

Srinu
