NetApp Test Frequency

[Tim McCloskey]

Hi Francisco, 

I'm not familiar with the netapp.pl script. In cases where no client side software is installed on a device (netapp or some other proprietary OS dev) a script can be run from another system which does have hobbit software.  In this example you installed the perl script on your server, so, is the perl script located under the servers client/ext dir?  If so, then follow what Jerald states below.  The action will be performed on where you installed the script.

Example:

/opt/hobbit/cgi-bin
/opt/hobbit/cgi-secure
/opt/hobbit/client
/opt/hobbit/data
/opt/hobbit/server
/opt/hobbit/splat

client/ext

cputemp.sh
my.sh
na1.sh
na2.sh
nasload.sh


client/etc

clientlaunch.cfg
hobbitclient.cfg
localclient.cfg



Regards, 
Tim

Hi Jerald,



The problems is there is no clientlaunch.cfg that resides on the netapp.  How can I configure the server to run the test every 5 minutes, for example?  Keep in mind, again, that no Hobbit software resides on the NetApp filer.



On May 24th, you said:



Take a look at the client home:





$HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/clientlaunch.cfg



Mimic what you see there.  The entry generally looks like so:



   [fsstate]

        ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

        CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/library.pl

        LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/library.log

        INTERVAL 3m

(an example from one of my scripts)





Also, hit the wiki:  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit



Lots of yummy instructions there too.
