[hobbit] server load issue?

[David Gore]

Henrik,

For you consideration, I think the server may go a little crazy if you 
try to send updated client packages to too many hosts at the same time, 
false failed tests, pages sent on those same false failed tests, and 
status pages not available for those same false failed tests:

bb-display.log:
... 2006-11-30 01:11:44 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 01:11:44 hobbitd status-board not available

clientdata.log:
2006-11-30 00:51:20 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:56:12 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:58:17 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout
2006-11-30 00:59:41 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

hobbitclient.log:
[hobbit at hobbit1 logs]$ cat hobbitclient.log
2006-11-30 00:58:16 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

Here is what my config looks like client-local.cfg:

[temip-be-hpux11] # these are class names, not host names
clientversion:temip-be-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-fe-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-fe-hpux11v10
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
[temip-tns-hpux11]
clientversion:temip-tns-hpux11v2
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240

I suppose I updated about 60+ remote hosts at once, perhaps we should 
just try to figure out what our server can handle?  Or should the server 
be made to be smarter?  The server is a simple 3 Ghz dual core Intel 
Fedora Core 5 host with 1G of memory.
