RE: [hobbit] hobbit log dir

["Marsh, Ian" <ian.marsh (at) hants.gov.uk>]

You'll need to write an extension script to process the information as it's received by Hobbit and output the appropriate data to the lard subsystem. There are instructions on the 'hobbitd_larrd' manpage in the 'Custom RRD Data' section. Note that there is an error on each of the grep/awk lines in the example script; each line is missing a back tick to close the command. I ended up writing my own version of the script in Perl which will be easier for me/someone to maintain. It took a couple of hours for me to get this working this morning but having a graph for the Exim (MTA) queue size is already proving very useful!

Thanks,
Ian Marsh

Is there no directory where bbclient information is gaterd. In bigbrother I hade exhangeservers sending in information about

private and public database sizes, the log file would contain f ex

 

green 20.4.2005 16:29:02

 

Exchange Database size check (GB):
&green PrivateDatabase: 12.99
&green PublicDatabase : 3.22

and I was able to graph that with larrd. I am able to let hobbit display this graph but hobbit isn´t getting the feed from the client.

	I just migrated from bb to hobbit server and I was wondering where is hobbit´s incoming log directory (bb had $BBVAR/logs).
