[hobbit] monitoring Solaris client

Thu Dec 10 13:35:42 CET 2009

So clearly the Xymon client program is not executing because it cannot
find the libpcre.so.0 file. If you built the software yourself then you
need to rebuild it but this time use archive libraries rather than
shared ones, or use the -R flag and include the directory where your
libpcre file is located. -R is the list of directories to search for
shared library files.

If you installed Xymon as a package then you need to find another
package that include the PCRE libraries and install that.

Hi Martin,

~hobbit/client/logs/hobbitclient.log file have below log entries and no
other.

-bash-3.00$ less hobbitclient.log

I did get a successful tenet to server from client as shown below:

-bash-3.00$ telnet xxx.xxx.xx.xx9 1984
Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xx9...
Connected to xxx.xxx.xx.xx9.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection to xxx.xxx.xx.xx9 closed by foreign host.
-bash-3.00$

Please advice.

Thanks,

Srini

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
